  • Is Orca that resource intensive? I’m running it in a container with KasmVNC and have never really checked out the resource usage. Admittedly it’s on one of my local servers in another room. I guess it’s how large your projects are too.

    Edit: maybe it’s just my small projects







  • Might not be what you had in mind, but NixOS “kind-of” ticks all your boxes.

    For me NixOS is a build your own distro more so than Arch could ever be.

    My config covers antiquated meme worthy notebooks with 4gb ram, desktop with an ultra wide monitor and dedicated graphics, two headless servers running services, containers, transcoding video / cctv; aaand my daily driver laptop.

    As far as 2nd hand laptop are concerned - it’s very location specific. My neck of the woods it’s buy online or hope some locally has marked something at a reasonable price.










  • I run my 4800hs / 1650 laptop in hybrid mode, it’s ‘OK’ on battery but I bought it used and it’s seen some usage (70% health) in its past life. I’ve been using hyprland for maybe 6 months now and support has only improved with time.

    You will run into issues with specific multiplayer titles in a VM, depending on what you plan on playing having a 2nd partition might be the way to go. Some titles won’t care being in a VM, some will flat-out refuse to work or kick you after some time, many are compatible out of the box under Linux / Proton.

    Supergfxctl is a handy tool for toggling your dedicated card, my laptop is ASUS so I can’t be certain on the level of compatibility you may see with said tool.
