What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.
As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.
Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.
That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)
I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!
There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.
Whoa! Thank you!
Well, that explains the memes.
I’ll give it a go!
I prefer X11, and Hyprland doesn’t have a great community (apparently). However, I was hoping more that Lemmy would just comment their favourite light WMs to make it easier for me to choose.
Especially since WD-40 changed its recipe.
A very nice list. I believe the entire Simple Mobile project has been forked to preserve the brilliant apps before their new owner completely butchers them. However, I don’t have a link handy right now.
Count Binface is not the politician we deserve, but the politician we need.
And yet, somehow, everyone was surprised.
Fuck!

I use Zsh with the Oh My Zsh! framework, and I use a different theme depending on which subuserland I’m in, by customising ~/.zshrc
. For example, I use the gentoo theme on Debian and its derivatives, agnoster on NixOS, darkblood on Arch, strug for Mageia, apple on my macOS device, aussiegeek on FreeBSD, and gallifrey on OpenBSD. Different themes helps me remember which package manager to use and which distro-specific commands will work.
I’ll send some screenshots in a bit, when I boot up my PC.
I like Zsh because of its tab completion and command history. I also quite like its plugins.
Before anyone asks, I have tried Fish before, and I prefer Zsh. I have tried configuring Bash before, and I prefer Zsh. I have played with Ksh and Tcsh on BSD, and I prefer Zsh. I used PowerShell a long time ago, and I prefer Zsh.
Well, for all of the above, I’d personally recommend using Linux Mint to get started. I’ve always found that it’s too much work to debloat Windows, and it’s considerably less secure than Linux (normally).
Most Steam games run on Linux, but there are a few that do not. Music production could also be a bugbear, as a lot of popular software does not run. You could always try using WineHQ to run the Windows versions, however, or try a compatible alternative.
If you simply must run Windows, you have two options. Dual-booting is a good idea, as this lets you select whether you want to boot Windows or Linux when you turn on the computer. Another option is using a virtual machine; this would allow you to run Windows inside Linux. For this, I’d recommend VirtualBox to start with.
I really hate these guys. The exam board is petty, the content is hard, and they do bullshit like this.
I use Organic Maps. OsmAnd is also pretty good.
Ha! Yeah, I remember that phase. I was planning to install LXDE as my first distro, simply because I thought the wallpaper looked cool.
