>https://mikegrindle.com/posts/permacomputing Thanks for writing on this. I argue that we have been wasteful *because* of the advancements of computing hardware. The focus is on speed before efficiency or durability. Likewise, popular software has grown to suit the convenience. Should computer hardware stop increasing in speed, developers may stop upping their hardware expectations,

and then people who value their time can afford to keep a computer for a decade instead of 3 years.

I own and occasionally use a 12 year-old laptop. The keyboard on it is great, and the touchpad is much better than the modern ones. Opening three heavy web sites at the same time causes disk swapping.

Thanks, appreciate you reading. Unfortunately, I don't see any such slowdown becoming the norm, but we can still strive for better. They really don't make keyboards like they used to, right? I always work my tech into the ground but I don't think I've hit the 12-year mark before. My current laptop is about 6-7 years old and doing okay (with a lightweight Linux).

mike what's your go-to lightweight linux

Currently using Peppermint OS with Awesome WM. Linux Mint Xfce is brilliant if your hardware isn't too old. AntiX is a good choice if its ancient.

To add more lightweight options: quite a few people I know swear by Alpine as a lightweight choice. Void is popular if you prefer rolling release. Debian can be light if you set it up that way and has the added perk of very slow updates.

thanks owl, i'll look into alpine as well. i use ubuntu on my regular set up cuz i'm a normie, but i do want to revive some ancient chromebooks with something very light

Alpine is great. It uses musl libc https://musl.libc.org/, which uses much less memory than GNU libc https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. My 12-year old laptop boots it in 30 seconds, and I've only beaten that metric using a purpose-compiled kernel on a source-based distribution https://kisslinux.org/. It requires some technical know-how, however documentation is readily available https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki.

It really is interesting to see who jumps on new technology and who holds back. I have family who've incorporated smart devices into every facet of their lives, and I have other family who wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole (I'm in the latter group for privacy and security reasons; no one updates a smart lightbulb even though they really should). It's strange that we're in an era where fridges send spam emails.

Most of the tech-savvy people I know seem to fall into that latter group. Also, there's those of us who just hate spending money on new things if we ca n get the job done on something cheaper/older. Or maybe that's just me..

Not just you, I'm with you on that. Older devices tend to hold up better from what I've noticed, too. And they've been around long enough that repair methods are pretty well-documented by folks.
