I do, but something about it doesn’t feel right. Maybe I’m just not committing to it cos I can too easily jump back to the host OS

Usually if I’ve made a mess with installs or config and want a clean slate, but this time I’m doing it cos I tried out a new OS and it didn’t work out.

Hard to say exactly, how much, maybe twice a year, but when I do reinstall I often reinstall like three times in quick succession until I get a good foundation.

Thanks but not considering hardware adjustments. I’ll look at the bios board efficiency, turning it off, and the wall meter thing

I suppose I mean “which is most efficient out of the box?”

thanks for the great technical suggestions everyone

reddit; may add news sites given the wonderful news we’re getting these days

I think hosted would suit them best. It doesn’t even need to be decentralized, though I would rather avoid big tech.
