I have a 1440p 24 " monitor with 120 DPI setting.
Resolution is much better for fonts - helps with my astigmatism.

The 1440p is a compromise between price and performance.

If you can, go to the electronic shops and see in person.

Same with groups related to the Gaza genocide.

Pricey for non x86_64 laptop.
The cheapest option is € 1,200.00.

You can choose between A311D and RK3588 SoC modules.

You are using, this option (9.9.9.9):

Recommended: Malware Blocking, DNSSEC Validation (this is the most typical configuration)

You can disable it, by setting the 9.9.9.10 IP:

Unsecured: No Malware blocking, no DNSSEC validation (for experts only!)

I have Nokia 3310 from the HMD.
Hardware looks fine, but software is slow and buggy.

More like a collection item than a daily driver.

Gentoo - patience.
But seriously. With the USE flags, compiler options, you can understand software more from a developer's point of view.
You can try to optimize software for your hardware.
Fully explore the configure options. With a binary package you have no control.

HTC (Wildfire, Desire Z, [rip!]), Samsung (they are/were easy to flash; S3, S5, S7, A5 2017).
I once had Nexus 5 (by LG [rip!]) - I was disappointed, poor quality.

Nowadays, you should have control of a baseband firmware too!
So, looks like the Pixels are the best option.

Images should be stored in a distributed storage like the IPFS.

Btrfs had a rough beginning. That's all.

Now I'm testing compression feature as a lighter alternative to the ZFS.

I'm too sensitive for a trackpad. I hate touchscreens.

Look, early Android phones had a tiny trackballs, some buttons and even physical keyboard.

Who wants a stylus?

I cannot unseen it now.

They have https://en.opensuse.org/File:OpenSUSE_Slowroll_green_logo.svg anyway, why not just add some background to it.

Browsers with engines other than the WebKit, e.g. native Firefox with the Gecko.

The FOSS community will gain momentum.

libcamera:

A complex camera support library for Linux, Android, and ChromeOS

Cameras are complex devices that need heavy hardware image processing operations. Control of the processing is based on advanced algorithms that must run on a programmable processor. This has traditionally been implemented in a dedicated MCU in the camera, but in embedded devices algorithms have been moved to the main CPU to save cost. Blurring the boundary between camera devices and Linux often left the user with no other option than a vendor-specific closed-source solution.

To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that will be open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP. libcamera was born out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to Linux-based systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android.

Now, Walter de Heer at Georgia Tech in Atlanta and his colleagues have created graphene with a bandgap and even demonstrated a working transistor, an on/off switch that either prevents or allows current to flow through it.

I'm Windows-free for about 18 years.

Windows is a last resort. If some proprietary apps don't work under Linux (mainly at a work).

It's funny how conservative Windows is, it still has components from the NT.

Alpine. But you are very low on the RAM. I will buy more RAM if I can (DDR2(?)).

There is an information in the /etc/tlp.conf file:


<span style="color:#323232;"># Select platform profile:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#   performance, balanced, low-power.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Controls system operating characteristics around power/performance levels,
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># thermal and fan speed. Values are given in order of increasing power saving.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Note: check the output of tlp-stat -p to determine availability on your
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># hardware and additional profiles such as: balanced-performance, quiet, cool.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Default: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># !!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># When use power-profiles-daemon, please use below items in
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># /var/lib/power-profiles-daemon/state.ini
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#    1) "balanced" is default mode
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#    2) "power-saver" mode means "low-power" in ppd
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#    3) "performance" mode
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_AC=performance
</span><span style="color:#323232;">#PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_BAT=low-power
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

So, it depends if your distro uses power-profiles-daemon or if your desktop environment controls power profiles.

Do you want low-power setting only on a battery?

Create, for example, /etc/tlp.d/99-custom.conf file, with content:


<span style="color:#323232;">PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_BAT=low-power
</span>

Reload the settings: tlp start

And make sure the tlp service is enabled.

TLP can also control CPU clock.

I’m using these settings on my trusty X260:

</span><span style="color:#323232;">CPU_MIN_PERF_ON_AC=0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_AC=100
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">CPU_MIN_PERF_ON_BAT=0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_BAT=30
