The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

So basically you actually do things lol.
Not that other people don’t just what you do is visible and usually helpful so.
Meh, I dont do much on l1 anyway other than maintain my mech keyboard thread and for some reason the beer garden thread picked up again lately so? Just amusing sometimes how a lot of people dont seem to follow rules despite logic as far as I can tell from randomly popping into threads when I feel like abusing my brain :stuck_out_tongue:

above is not entirely serious but mostly is-ish

In other news I keep putting off my review of the 6970s but eh. Ive found written reviews are so much easier than video ones, mainly because editing. Will keep working on it though.

Interesting. I’m the process of fixing my laptop and haven’t fully decided what DE I want to to use yet so might give LXQt a try, its fairly old so it could be a good fit to spite the stuttering and other issues.

depends on what version of android its on but its 100% caching. Android is smart enough to tell the difference between a SD card and a flash drive plugged in via USB. Android will just marks the cache area as empty when you safely eject the flash drive

So the only reason why I could get at the cache data was the device failed while mounted. Even so the phone had been powered off and the SD ejected bunch of times. Some of the cache data i recovered was well over a year old.

what version of android were you running. iirc android 5+ will only cache data if its part of the whole disk encryption

version 6.0.1, the sd was running as external storage.

Im guessing a app just used whatever storage it could find. Android will only ask for storage permission but you cant choose which device it chooses over another

I just thought it was strange because I had plenty of space free on internal and didn’t change any app storage settings. From what i could tell most of the data was for Firefox, the messaging app, or DuckDuckGo which other then youtube were the apps i used the most. I got around 6gb of the cached data. Thanks for the help.

This is my current linux laptop:


Except mine has a crucial 256 SSD I put in there.

Thing is I’ve been thinking of getting a better laptop for Linux, due in part to my chromebook being at the end of it’s life. Rest in Peace Chromebook, you’ll be nuked when the day comes. Which one… This one:

Granted wait for reviews which should come out soon. It is a step up compared to what I had.

When will I get it? Summer Maybe, though I’d be more likely to wait for November sales cause I like saving money.

What linux would I run?: Part of the reason I’m running opensuse is cause it is light weight. Also reason I used Linux Mint. I’d use Manjaro or Fedora. Kinda leaning toward Fedora cause I want to play with Docker and Containers.

Am I loyal any Linux distro: Nope. I base what I use on what I need and what my hardware can handle. Current laptop can run Linux Mint, OpenSuse, and Debian. But Fedora, Ubuntu, well the laptop struggled.

Am I okay?: I’ve worked 90 hours in the last two weeks altogether. I’m hyped.

I’ve been running Linux Lite on my older rigs it uses a slightly modified version of LXDE and it’s geared toward new Linux users, but it’s clean, simple, and light weight so I’ve been using it.

In the unlikely circumstance that I use linux, generally I use Ubunut (whatever the newest version is at the time) with the Budgie DE instead of the stock one.

Mostly because Ubunut supports steam games really well.

I’ve been impressed with how far Budgie has come.

Yep.
If only the OS its meant to be on had more support for different software (it has a different command system which I forget the real name of that is somewhat limiting software wise) otherwise I would run the whole OS as its got lightning fast boot times even on HDDs and some other neat features.
Still Budgie is quite nice.

Budgie and some version of linux that is lightweight but still works with things would probably by my daily linux if I gave enough of a care to set up WINE … But I don’t lol. And why …
No. Not going pun that. Nooo.

But my point being that I don’t have the urge to spend time working on making something work well in linux when it works fine under windows.

That said; its not like I’m playing games on my daily rig anyway (mostly consuming and creating content, occasionally playing a few games and running the stream from my other rig) and benching on my secondary rig that has windows and all my games but still

just rambling for some reason aka I have time to kill at work and No one is here so yeah

Now I’m tempted to see how broken linux is for gaming still lel and or how I can make a distro I like but nuuuuu must do actually useful things before I dump 8+ hours into a linux

Linux Lite has WINE preconfigured you could try installing bungie on it, there’s other distros too have WINE pre-setup
