2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I installed Debian 12 on my 14yo Pentium E5400 PC with 4GB RAM. I have installed on it: Pi-Hole, Jellyfin, Deluge, Grocy, Heimdall, HortusFox, Inventree, Portainer, Radicale, Speedtest Tracker, Trilium, WatchYourLan. Also have various samba shares. In the last year I have learnt a lot of server/Docker stuff, my server is not connected to Internet though. It's been fun. I have had luck watching some HD videos through Jellyfin but others totally spike processor load avg. to 20 when normal values is 0.2, lol.
May I ask what PC this is? You might be able to flash Libreboot to it and keep the firmware updated/remove Intel Management Engine entirely. Internal flashing is possible on most of these older computers, no special flashing equipment needed, just need to type a few commands in terminal basically.
Motherboard is an ASRock G31M-VS2 with a Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz. If I'm not confused Libreboot would replace the BIOS firmware?
That's not bad cpu load. I was expecting you to ask why your processor is 100% all the time after listing all those services lol.
For example one of the most heavy computations are the facial recognition on Immich when new photos are uploaded, load avg. goes to 5-8, the 2 cores @100% for "few" minutes then idle again.
That makes sense.
