I have also been very content with Posteo.

Well, my opinion might not help you much, since I also love Transmetropolitan. But then, I also love Hunter S. Thompson's work.

Planetary is not much like Transmetropolitan, though. With Planetary, what I like the most is this sense of mystery. It's hard to describe. Planetary offers plenty of scenarios that open questions, only a few of which are ever answered, and that is kind of the point and appeal of it. It's also heavily intertextual, with a lot of references to other books, stories, comics and real events. It is, in fact, a study of the importance of stories in shaping our world, and our relationship with the stories we tell ourselves and each other. It's also a cool detective story with super heroes. It is many things. It is very sombre compared to the jocular Transmetropolitan.

So yeah, I love Planetary. I suggest maybe reading a few chapters to see if it grabs you. Can't hurt, can it?

With low specs like that, the experience will never be great, but with a very light desktop you can make it work. Debian is fine, but with some set up, Alpine could be one option. It's a really light distro.

I was thinking of the same book. It's certainly appropriate for younger readers and should hold their interest.

I'm currently reading Planetary Omnibus, one of my absolute favorite graphic novels ever, before starting The Dragon Reborn, the third book in The Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan.

The Wheel of Time is a bit curious to me. Even though the books are long, they feel a bit too dense, meaning it feels like there's constantly something happening with no breathers, and new characters and concepts are constantly being introduced. I'd love if Jordan took a bit more time to paint the picture, so to speak. No wonder I've forgotten almost all of it in a few decades. But despite all that, I've really liked reading the books so far. I might finish this series yet.

Turns out this is also available in Alpine repositories, so I went ahead and installed it on my phone. Could come in handy when browsing from public Wi-Fi or such. Thanks for the tip.

I turn it off every night or if I'm away for many hours, so about 10 minutes right now.

I do have a Raspberry Pi that's been up 12 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 59 minutes. I believe there was a planned power outage when it was lasted turned off.

Is it though? Is it? Though?

For a slight change of pace, I'm reading Shou Arai's manga At 30, I Realized I Had No Gender before starting the second book of The Wheel of Time, The Great Hunt.

And nothing of value will be lost.

Yup, Konsole is good enough.

Jules Verne is good for a beginner, I think. Yes, the books are old, but they still stand up. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is great.

For graphic novels, I feel like recommending Transmetropolitan and V for Vendetta. Both are dystopian sci-fi.
