Hey #linux community. Some advice?
I want to have a Linux desktop to use alongside my Windows machine. I don't want to have a dual boot machine. I qas instead thinking
- set up this 10+ year old laptop as a purely linux machine
Or
- create a external drive for booting linux on my windows machine
(I've tried that with usb sticks and they are too slow)
So... like that? Or something else?
(I'm a bit tech-savy, don't ttavel much with my laptop, use it for text, some media work.)
Guess which furry just finished their college-level Python class with a perfect 100% score!
... That's right!
It's me! ✌️

"Help me, Open Source, you're my only hope!" 🤖
Embodied's $800 kids' robot Moxie was facing certain doom, but the company is now working to liberate it through open-source. From bricked to freed - that's what I call a plot twist! Community-powered robot resurrection FTW.

A pair of satellites will create artificial solar eclipses to study the sun
Astronomers hope the Proba-3 mission will help them get a better view of the corona, the sun's outer atmosphere, which is even hotter than the sun's surface.

is there a low-power "detect the computer is idle" api in #linux? i've attempted to use #inotify against input devices (following the example of aur.archlinux.org/packages/bri…) but that's somewhat cpu intensive ...
i could do tricks by sleeping say 25 sec and then set up the inotify and select on it with a 5 sec timer, or so... then it's low power for 25 sec and the user has to be active in the 5 sec...
this tradeoff between the "resolution" of idle detection and the power usage seems regrettable
