Advice AMIs with graphic design

0

I want to start using linux ( aws amazon t4g.nano ) 64 bit arm But I not know is it possible to use that server for Tor browser ? ( watch videos, its for marketing tests )

Maybe you know is there some AMIs with graphic design, so that you can install the browser and already use it? so that you don't have to do everything manually through the code.

Sorry for the bad English (I'm from Ukraine) Please not advice me any other instances or something like that. question only about that t4gnano

While it's possible to use a t4g.nano instance with Linux for basic tasks, there are some important considerations for your specific use case:

  1. T4g instances use ARM-based AWS Graviton2 processors, which may have compatibility issues with some software, including certain browsers.

  2. The t4g.nano is the smallest instance in the T4g family, with very limited resources (2 vCPUs and 0.5 GiB of memory). This may not be sufficient for running a graphical environment and watching videos smoothly.

  3. By default, most Linux AMIs for EC2 don't come with a graphical user interface (GUI) pre-installed, as they're typically used for server applications.

  4. There aren't specific AMIs designed for graphic design or browser usage on t4g instances. Most AMIs are minimal installations to keep the instance size small.

  5. Installing and running Tor browser on a t4g.nano instance might be challenging due to the ARM architecture and limited resources.

If you still want to proceed with a t4g.nano instance, you would need to:

  1. Choose an ARM64-compatible Linux AMI.
  2. Manually install a lightweight desktop environment and necessary graphics libraries.
  3. Install an ARM-compatible version of a web browser (Tor browser may not be directly compatible).

However, this setup may not provide a smooth experience for watching videos or performing marketing tests due to the instance's limited resources. For your intended use case, a larger instance with more resources and x86 architecture might be more suitable, although I understand you specifically asked about t4g.nano.

Your English is understandable, and there's no need to apologize. I hope this information helps clarify the limitations and potential challenges of using a t4g.nano instance for your specific needs.
