Which distros are energy efficient? I have a capable desktop, and I mean to push it, but I don’t want to be using energy if it’s not necessary. I’m not looking to rescue an old laptop, for example.
I hear CachyOS is fast. Does that translate to energy efficient?
(Does the OS even matter that much for efficiency?)
Probably there is something you loose if you’ll change to the allocator chimera Linux uses (btw microsoft developed it, I don’t know if it is good that they’re the once that made it but it works, I use chimera Linux with the microsoft) but I don’t now what. All I know that for general purpose pc it works great, the only troubles I got were with software made just for glibc. I’ll be happy to know what I loose when not using the standard allocator for musl, but I don’t know, is there a chance you can check it? thank you giving you point of view, I appreciate it.
Oh I have absolutely no Idea where to check at all. I guess Chimera has a community, its best to ask people who are there and use it and know it or know where to lookup.
They had a subreddit, but now it is closed or privet. Instead they have communities on different platforms I don’t have
They have an IRC channel, which is an oldschool chat. You don’t even need an account and can use the chat right in the browser by choosing a name. https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels#chimera-linux Some names does not work and I don’t know why, maybe because they are reserved by others or so? In example
guest69does not work, butthingsidontplaydoes. So try a different name if it doesn’t work to login right away. This is their official main community to ask questions. My recommendation is to open the chat, ask your question and then wait, don’t close the chat and let it wait. I assume most of them have experience with Chimera Linux and this is probably the best place on the entire internet to ask them questions directly.Thank you, but have no idea how to use IRC and I prefer not to. I know they have also a matrix chat, but I don’t want another WhatsApp like app on my phone
You don’t have to know anything, its just a chat. Its like Matrix, without any features. It’s not an app, you can open the chat directly in the browser with the link I provided. Open the link https://webchat.oftc.net/?channels#chimera-linux in your browser, enter your name and for channel enter
chimera-linuxand just clickConnect. Then you get the chat without requiring an account registration, and can ask directly and people will read. There is nothing to learn about this, its just a good old chat.Their Matrix channel is judge a bridge to this IRC. And because of the bridge, messages take longer to arrive and coordinate on Matrix. I got all the info from their webpage: https://chimera-linux.org/community/
