Programmer by day, burnt out by night.
KDE’s menus upon menus upon menus makes it look and work like W95 for me, just made of shiny plastic instead of something beige.
Also, I feel XFCE’s default looked awful about ten years ago, it looks modern and slick now, esp. with a theme like Arc installed! And it’s incredibly customisable and riceable!
I’ve had this with Rust once, t’was a weird feeling.
Fijn article, thanks for sharing!
Still, I don’t get why’d you do that, all my windows installation automatically put boot files onto C: and did not allow me to touch them afterwards.
G: also seems completely arbitrary, and I’m the majority of windowa setups wouldn’t exist or be an external drive.
Simple as.
The boot files go into C:, not G:.
Windows can’t operate if you did that, it doesn’t let you.
Tiny vocab tip: “Non-immutable” is actually just called “mutable”.
I agree it’s a bit weird for them to ask us to choose between email and matrix. They’d be better off deciding for themselves, best strangers on the internet can do is list pros/cons for them.
Once Gabe is dead steam will do the same, and I am planning for that too now.
Why do you make it sound like Steam being decent is because of Gabe Newell, and not because of the culture there?
Oh shit no, Gabe, please be immortal!
They already stated they’d use nheko.
I understand they’re asking us to choose between email and matrix for them.
I don’t think anybody does that, honestly.
Aw thanks!
Almost, the default boot drive is C:, everything gets mapped after that. So if you have a second HDD at D: and a disk reader at E:, any USBs you plug in would go to F:.
It’s because if you turn it 90° to the right, it looks like Elvis’ hair with two eyes underneath!
This reminds me of that fortune Cinnamon desklet
…I should use that again.
How about flat, easy to recognise icons and straight, square windows and app designs?
Brutalism for your DE!
No reason they wouldn’t work on a small phone, especially back then
I miss the Vista tingle and shine, and the sounds it had
It seems Nintendo’s consoles (Wii, DS, 3DS) were also more colourful and packed with music and sound then.
The Switch is so quiet. So… Dead?
God, no!
Though these do look pretty, they don’t look like the buttons in Windows 95/XP and maybe that’s a good thing.
And that setting up, and updating it, takes much technical knowledge, a lot of time, and the packages and their updates come from whoever on the internet much like the AUR.
For stability, I would not recommend NixOS, at all.
The paradigm breaks if anything is logged?
I feel like I’m missing a few steps in the logic.
As soon as I make more than a script, I’m using a debugger.
I really can’t wrap my head around how so many of my colleagues in the professional work field just
printwherever until they find their problem.printstatements feel like touching around in pitch darkness until I found what I sought, compared to a debugger which feels like just seeing my room and daylight while finding what I sought.
