Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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!

    They're clearly asking about performance not security

    Performance wise every modern distro should be able to handle multiple video streams provided your pc has the resources.

    Probably would also be doable off the live media?

    I imagine there'd be a performance penalty if using a flash drive for the OS. Not sure though.

    Most important stuff is loaded in RAM, so unless you're downloading the stuff as well, you're probably fine

    Only boot performance if you have enough RAM. Linux' pagecache can be quite agressive. I think with 4GB there won't be evicted pages, but with 8GB there won't for sure.

    Yeah probably but it could be serviceable over USB C?
