This was a surprisingly high effort shitpost

What am I looking at (besides a generic neofetch on hardware that can't load Google.com)
- It's Bazzite on wildly impractical hardware. I had the installer on my ventoy USB and decided to try and install it on my crapbook for shits and giggles.
  
  No, it doesn't run well. But to be fair, I also had Firefox open on another desktop with the only open tab being Lemmy.
  
  by crapbook, are you referring to a Chromebook?
- That's exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being "landfill fodder".
  
  I got a surprising amount of use out of a similarly configured C720 as a general purpose portable machine.
What -fetch program is that?
- Hyfetch
  
  Thanks!
hehe funny sex number

(69 Flatpaks)
- Also Linux version 6.9.4-201
  
  Oooh, I missed that. Nice!
Ayo 1.47Gb ram consumption on idle ?!
- My fedora KDE usee like 1.7G minimum and ~2.5G agter opening some apps and closing all of them
  
  I dont get why that is really
- I mentioned this elsewhere but this hyfetch isn't actually fair to the crapbook. I had Firefox open as well, with Lemmy as the only open tab (so it's totally usable, who needs to do anything other than post on Lemmy?). It was actually 1.03 Gb ram consumption on the terminal after closing Firefox.
  
  Glados the crapbook is now running bunsenlabs and it's sitting at 745M on the desktop according to conky.
  
  745M is still kinda much, when i was using xfce in idle i never reached more than 500M
Why? Also you can buy more ram. It isn't super cheap but it isn't expensive either.
- I wanted to get more ram for my notebook however it's soldered to the board with no extra DIMM or storage options.
  
  It's an old satellite from Toshiba, 4gb ram, dual core intel, 64gb emmc. Serves it's purpose running a bare bones (ish) install of Nix.
  
  Really hate ewaste hardware.
Please install Arch Linux + Enlightenment
- I tried to install arch like three times, it would hang during the nvdia driver install, then it would black screen during logging in, but now i suspect its because i clicked the option to comeplete the boot files on rufus and now am myself on bazzite
- Nah, I actually really liked bunsenlabs when I tried running it live, so I'm going to install that, at least for a bit. I might try a different DE with Debian, XFCE was fine but not amazing.
  
  Maybe try Alpine?
  
  You could also go with no DE and check out Fluxbox, i3, or sway. There's something about Fluxbox that's still charming all these years later.
  
  Try out void, it's pretty fire
- Weird request but ok
- I can agree with Arch but recommend Sway ;)
