I had an Aspire One D270 laptop with a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU and 1 gigabyte of RAM, so I installed Debian with Xfce on it, but even then it's running way too slow.

Is there anything I can do to make the laptop faster and more responsive given its limited memory?

Oh that brings me back! I only have vague memories of playing it when I was little. You could shoot boulders that would roll down a hill and squish your enemies, and there was also a cool jetpack I think.

The game isn't THAT dated. It's got smooth controls and good combat. I don't think there will ever be a remake/sequel though, sadly.

Me too, and I'm surprised how I haven't. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.

Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that's good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don't need it. I shouldn't let "perfect" get in the way of good.

Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?

Germ Theory

Diseases used to be associated with paranormal powers or the wrath of gods in most cultures. The discovery of microorganisms and advancement of medicine may be our civilization's greatest achievement.

I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I'm about to do something like this.

How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?

I use AnySoftKeyboard from F-Droid

A significant number of comments have mentioned Rimworld, guess I'll install it. Thanks for your recommendations!

I'm seeing Rimworld and Factorio in a lot of the comments here. I have played Factorio already, great game. Guess I'll try Rimworld now.

I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.

I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.

Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.

!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!

Could it be because of my VPN?

Edit: Works in a different browser, Sorry for wasting your time.

There is no longer an option to use ChatGPT without an ID on chatgpt.com for me. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Do you know of any songs that an average person wouldn't easily find on the internet, but is still worth listening at least once in a lifetime. I highly encourage music that isn't in English.
