  • Specs aren't too important. I like my distros lightweight, and a web browser will be the most demanding thing it'll run.

    web browsers are pretty fucking heavy these days, I think the minimum spec for an "ok" experience is a 3rd gen quad core "mobile" chip like the 3612qm or an 8th gen quad core "ultrabook" chip like the 8650u

  • I think krisp is like another company and it goes to their servers as well maybe?? or does discord just use their software?

  • very good catch, do you have a link to an article or something about krisp recording your voice? I couldn't find one

  • Gamepad latency of the XBOX series S controller

  • I think you do tend to get better at some things after you leave it for a while, your brain just has more time to process it or something idk

    I don't think the usb connected controller part would have any latency, that's basically just another USB input device. I'd guess that it's between the OS and your eyes (graphics driver latency, wine shenanigans, display refresh rate+pixel refresh latency)

  • that's completely fine :)

    I think the biggest part of learning Linux is learning where to get help. Most programs have a help dialog with --help or -h, or man pages you can find somewhere. Even the terminal has a help dialog if you just type "help", most things are more user friendly than they seem!

    If man pages are difficult to read, I recommend installing tealdeer (tldr). it shows a short summary of example command usages and it's great (e.g. tldr ls shows the different ways you can use ls)

  • i found sway to be more performant than i3 on my core 2 duo machine, though tbf i prefer the default config of i3

  • Which distro should I use?

    Jump

  • depends a lot on your actual hardware. some 2014 computers can run kde just fine, some will struggle with it. what actual components do you have?

    I have arch + kde plasma running on a i5 3320m among other things and it's completely fine. Your 4gb ram is not an issue.

    The biggest issue around this generation would be if you have a spinning hard drive, you'd want to replace that even with the cheapest used ssd you can find anywhere asap.

    Arch is fun and you should try it at some point but it's not "faster" than Debian or mint or whatever, it mostly just comes down to your desktop environment and web browser.
