CDE was a bust on the Mango Pi Quad. I did a fresh install of #Debian server. After updates, I did a full #LXDE install.

So far with I am averaging between 22% to 40% of ram use while running multiple programs.

Due to issues with #flatpak and #snap not showing up, I am going to keep this a purely Debian repo set up.

Things are looking good. The LXDE website wasn’t kidding when they said their DE could run on a potato 😂

All these sandbox normal system binaries. And there are many more sandboxing tools out there.

Pretty late, but comment to the #Snap and #Flatpak episodes:

My Flatpaks take up 30GB of space, after deduplication. A ton of outdated runtimes (badly maintained packages) and random stuff like #mpv or #ffmpeg shipped with apps instead of as a runtime extension are issues.

And no, you dont need to have an entire #distribution for #sandboxing. You can use #bubblejail and other new tools like #crabjail or #fortify.

For Flatpak and Snap, cross compatibility is 1st priority
