Then if you want to lock that specific version, go to /etc/pacman.conf and add the base package name to the ignore list so it doesn’t just go and get updated on the next upgrade run.

Yes, but as I said, on a 4GB budget, this matters quite a bit. I run thousands of edge devices on a custom distro with similar constraints, and it adds up quickly. It’s not that it’s insurmountable or anything, but I’m answering the question asked and not getting into the particulars. It’s just a known fact.

Change management on a layered FS, containers everywhere…etc.

Depending on what you’re doing, it can make a big difference. Especially when you’re talking about a 4GB machine with little to no margin of extra working space. Updates will certainly be problematic.

Immutable uses more memory during many operations. You’re probably not going to find anything stable, with a desktop, and all the other bits you’d expect running at under 4G. Safely.

That being said, any other traditional distro is lower maintenance anyway. Not sure why you think immutable is special in that regard.

Corporate sponsorship in the FOSS community has always existed. It’s how many of your favorite projects have managed to stay alive and thrive, including kernel develop.

Your suspicion and fear is lacking sustenance.

Yes

Just post a picture of your beard and official Autism Certificate FFS.

Jesus fuck.

MAC is for your local network.

Hostname is not relevant because the endpoints you’re connecting to are not doing reverse lookups.

Your Public IP from your ISP is all they see. They’ve also blocked VPN endpoint IP address space.

They aren’t tracking you through software on your machine, just the global address space. Best you can do is see if your ISP has IP6 space you can be attached to, because they don’t have a good way to block that yet.

Mc5 hardware error

Dafuq you think that is, son?

*Edit: post logs, ya baby ass bitch

Yes, your combined wattage use at peak is up to 1250, so you need to downclock, or buy a powerhouse PSU.

Your error literally says devices dropped offline. How would you imagine that happens aside from power drops?

Your PSU is too weak.

Ah, then you probably want KDE’s kiosk mode for a second screen with a second user that you can set the defined activity for. Should be quick and easy that way versus trying to split a session and window input.

It’s sort of possible, but you’d need to build an accessibility extension for KDE to do so.

Can you be more specific about what you’re trying to do?

Okay, but what’s the output of uname -a, and does it match your lib modules directory version?

This is…confusing. Are you saying you’re in a LiveUSB environment while running this, or you’re inside a currently installed environment where this has previously worked?

Confirm the current live kernel when running this command matches the lib modules you’re pointing out here. This sounds like a mismatch issue.

It depends on what you plan on using it for.

Just simple tablet stuff like browsing and watching videos? Probably fine.

Using it like a laptop as they claim it can be used? No way with those specs.

If you’re not super familiar with Linux on touch devices, it’s still a bit wonky, no matter which DE you choose, though I would say GNOME is currently in the lead over the larger bunch with some of the strides they made this past year. Still FAR from perfect though.

There is no such thing in the way you’re imagining it. You can tune any distro to use as little power as possible, but there’s only so much you can do if the hardware platform you’re running isn’t very efficient.

What are you currently running?

Just on this one device, or all devices connected to WiFi?

Why do you think your router is crashing? Is it overheating because you have stuff stacked on it maybe?

“…resigned with my own key…”

That’s a “no” from me, dawg. This isnt a distro, this a later revision you could easily just target and run. I don’t think you know exactly what constitutes an entire distribution.
