I've recently turned 20. What highly specific advice you, lemmy users, would offer me?

A lot of people answering this struggle to understand what highly-specific means. I’m looking to, for the sake of experiment, highly-specific advice that gives a reader clear understanding of what they should do. Unlike the vague advice, on the contrary, that may be too abstract to get implementing it right away....

  • Read The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga It is a mind blowing book that can help to improve your life and that of others.

Phone 2: Wi-Fi signal weak or barely functioning, youtube videos buffer and load for much too long on 720p when they shouldn’t need to.

  • Are you blocking ads ?
  • Does that phone have apps which may be eating your resources ? f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/ With NetGuard you can block access for mobile and / or WiFi per app, or block all including system apps and then allow the ones you need.

  • Trying Linux in VirtualBox for 3D gaming or video editing will give you poor performance. You may get better performance running Linux from a Linux live usb/cd image.
  • For video editors Shotcut is gaining popularity and features. It is also available for Windows so you can try it without a Linux installation : shotcut.org/download
  • Not sure if for video editing you should go for a specific Linux flavor, like ubuntustudio.org but “distro-hopping” is not a bad thing in my opinion. Try a few Linux distributions and see what you like and dislike, and then decide on your favorite. A tool like Ventoy can make it very easy to have ten or more Linux flavors on your usb pen drive to play with.
lemmyreader,

I’ve updated the post here to include the original posting and preview I got it from, which shows :

Swiss app Threema says it won’t become interoperable

lemmyreader,

I hope it will.

lemmyreader,

I ran some random test (its passmark memtest86 v9.3 pro) on my medicat usb. Right now its 92% finished with 1070 errors. This just can’t be good :(

Not familiar with medicat. Are you saying memtest86 gave you 1070 errors ? Then one of RAM modules is faulty. Or is this about the hard disk and bad blocks ?

gentoo doesnt have systemd (I want to use Mullvad as my vpn and their app reqires it).

If I recall correctly it is technically possible to run Mullvad and OpenVPN manually without systemd for example on a SBC (pi4 etc.) as your LAN router, and feed it to your devices, but yeah this is a bit cumbersome.

lemmyreader,

Thanks! I’ve DM-ed the OP (as this was only cross-posted by me).

lemmyreader,

Sure, but just like with flashing custom ROMs on phones, people may break their Chromebook and not get help with it and be stuck. For a Linux beginner a good first and smooth experience may be the best start.

lemmyreader,

Was fun reading it, and brilliant. Thanks! :)
