Comment Slow on QubesOS on older dual core laptop (Score 1) 29

I am running Qubes OS on an older laptop (lenovo x270 with dual core). I use neovim for development and it runs well. I just tried installing zed and it is very slow in the user interface (moving around with vim keybindings). Sad. Guessing because it looks like they need to emulate GPU support under Qubes.

I live in Zambia. It is stating that per GB is around 2-5 USD per GB. You can buy per GB at 0.40 per GB or even at 0.20 USD per GB (this is on a SIM that has voice and data). For a special data only SIM I just bought a bundle of 120GB for 0.16 USD per GB. You normally buy GB in addition to a phone plan. Most everything here (and a lot of Africa I believe) is pre paid. I typically pay around 100 kwacha which is $5 USD for a combined voice (minutes) and data plan which includes 400 minutes of talktime and also 1GB of data. You typically just add additional GB to a phone (buy data by itself). I haven't been to Zimbabwe in many years, but I really don't believe it costs $63 per GB in Zim. I just did a search for mobile carriers in Zim and I came up with Econet for Zimbabwe. They have USD priced bundles on their website. The link is: https://www.econet.co.zw/servi... . You can get 1.2GB of data for 1 hour for $1 USD or for 30 days you can get 30GB for 30 days for $38 USD. That is just over $1 USD per GB. THE ARCTICLE IS NOT CREDIBLE. Please check yourself through the link.
