  • I tried finding this out on my own but couldn’t find a single video or screenshot showing how much ram & cpu usage LTSC used while idle, could you let me know?

    About 1.1 to 1.2, 1.3GB. Less than Pro, but can’t compete with any Linux distro.

    If Ghost spectre was running malware, especially a crypto miner there’s no way the pc would run at low resource intensities- a keylogger is the only thing that could possibly slip under since it requires little to no resources to run.

    You’re right about the crypto miner, but the keylogger is a realistic possibility. I’ve ran into so many script solitions and some of them did actually have malware (I can’t always read a 2, 3MB script, that’s just way too much code), that I decided to make my own scripts and use those instead.




  • … ,while LTSC is just a slightly debloated & near no updates version of windows.

    You call no apps at all slightly debloated? Lol, that’s what takes over 70% of the space in Win10/11. What else would you like to remove, everything else is actually needed and/or could be needed.

    And it receives only security updates. Same as Win7, LTSC editions are frozen in time when they were released. They get no feature updates, just security updates.

    For example, Windows takes about 42GB to install- while LTSC takes 40GB, and Ghost Spectre- 9GB.

    What :O… a 40GB LTSC install??? What in the hell did you do to that LTSC install man, lol :D.

    The screenshot above is from a fresh LSTC 2019 install. It’s almost 14GB in size. Noting installed, just the OS. Plus, you can cut down even on that, cuz it probably has like 2, 3GB or so in updates, so realistically, just the bare bones install is about 11-12GB.

    Spectre also comes with a toolbox that gives massive user control over customizing their OS.

    We have reg entries/batch scripts for that. Why in the hell would I want to run something that is sketchy at best and I really have no idea what it actually does. It’s enough that MS already does that with Windows, now I have to also risk installing/modding something that I have no idea what it will install or modify. What if it’s crypto miner/malware? What if it’s a keylogger?

    No thanks, I use my own scripts and I know exactly what they do.


  • Nah, I have a few (like 5 👀 😁) mainly because of my multiple personality disorder (gotta divide your personal life from what you secretly like and/or admire, people might ask your Lemmy account link one day and follow you, lol 😂).

    No, your login info works only for the instance you’ve got your account on. Federation only works for content, not accounts. Moving accounts from instance to instance is planned as a feature, but not there yet at the moment. Communities as well, it’s planned to be able to move them from instance to instance, just not being worked on currently cuz of the influx of bugs and other more important features.

    You have to make an account on vlemmy.net in order to be able to log into that instance. Same goes for any other instance. But you don’t have to make an account on every instance. 2 of the accounts I have are alts/backups, just in case something goes down with some of the instances I currently have an accoount on.
