You can try to strip some part of Plasma to make it less heavy on resources. Still, if your hardware's shit, there's nothing doing. I've got a laptop which barely runs bspwm xd.

What you are looking for is baloo and PIM shit, which is almost useless. if you take a look at htop, you can see what is chugging RAM and other resources.

Anyway, what hardware do you have to not run Plasma?

I tried it on an HP nc6320 a few years ago, and it installed, but I had problems with drivers. I tried the same model again about 6 months ago, and it didn't even boot this time :( I should try it again soon. It's a great project, it's just a shame that it feels like it's moving so slowly. It would be great as an alternative to old OSes like 2000 and XP that are no longer supported, but run expensive equipment like medical or other scientific devices.

you can install linux on a btrfs subvolume.

during the installation you have to manually mount it on /target and skip the partitioning process. after continuing you'll probably get an error message where you hit 2xback and suddenly it continues. i could expand on this. is there (still) demand ?

That's already an issue. Have you watched news out of there? Such a disconnect with reality.

This is an old article, but very related.

Ever try to sign up for a VPS in that country? Every one of them states in the ELUA that you are not allowed to use Tor.

But, they are not the only country that does this. China is a classic example. But, even places like France do country level blocking of various content.

Captchas and Internet ID for all! 🫡

At least this is the likely corporate "solution", for AI's internet pollution.

Cryptography...

Or a vouch based system of sorts where applicable.

This is a real problem.

An asymmetric warfare attack on internet anonymity and networks (in the long-run).
