@Ted, it can do quite a bit, but then my needs tend to be bimodal: either light work ( email, web browsing, coding ) or heavy work ( analyzing scores of terabytes ). For the heavy work, I connect to the cloud. For the light work, the Chromebook does quite well. What are your use cases? @Art, I would love to hear about git-annex. From what little I have read, it sounds like a good complement to the Chromebook. As for fpm, I rarely build packages, but am always game on hearing about new things.

I would like to hear more about the Chromebook with the Linux DE and how much can actually function and how that works. Thank you, Ted P

I'd be very interested to hear about your experiences with fpm (as well as git-annex). I don't have much to report on, but I did finally get a new webcam, and I'm hoping it'll be better in low light than the laptop's built-in camera.

I may try doing my much-delayed git-annex demo. Have also been playing around a bit with creating packages via fpm

NMGLUGers, I had been amusing myself with an Optiplex 790, but will wait till I have more ram to proceed. I did establish that a new vga cable and the i915 firmware solved the resolution issues. The old cable was faulty. I am finding Debian 11 and Xubuntu 21.10 are both stable and do the work I want to do, so I use one or the other on a daily basis. I do have Debian 11 on a 32-bit machine that works well, but is much slower, of course. It does a good job of streaming music from the Internet to my radio for a chance to sample many more stations than I get otherwise.
We have a meeting tomorrow and I hope to be on time this week. It is noted on my calendar: 3 March 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm(MST), at https://meet.jit.si/nmglug.
Hope we have some interesting topics. Thank you, Ted P _______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list nmglug@lists.nmglug.org http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org
