In the past certain distros were better for certain tasks, but not really anymore. The thing that separates distros is how they do package management and how many packages they have. All that’s to say, just pick something easy to start with like Kubuntu, Mint, or Debian if you’re ok with older software.

Here’s an edited list of what I exclude from my full system backup on my debian machine:

I also use UBO and I scrolled down a bit and got a pop up saying the content is for donators only so I closed the tab.

I enabled javascript on this website just for it to tell me to go away lmao

I’m not sure, but those 3 features sound very basic and easy to implement. Sounds like a simple tasks app to me unless there’s more advanced behavior I’m not aware of. I’ve been cranking out pyqt projects lately and got decent at doing it pretty fast, I’m between projects at the moment :)

DIY!

I’ll write one for you when I’m bored if you can give me an example json file.

Windows isn’t little-known.

Calling someone else.

Should have lead with the fact that he’s a GNOME developer, that’s way more gross.

A refurb!

I used to have all 50 capital cities memorized from Carmen Sandiego, Broderbund was the goat.

Edit: I found a picture of one of my original disks!

Cool video, I like this guy’s style; he really keeps it moving.

Modern KDE isn’t bad on resource usage either. You just want the old school look, but you’re not actually on obsolete hardware :)

You don’t need Trinity for that, you can theme up KDE Plasma 6 to look and feel old school too.

I watched some videos of ET:QW and it looked really dated and I lost interest haha. I bet having nostalgia for this is probably required. I still really want to play gunman chronicles, I can hang with a Half Life engine game!

Good article, I just wish it would say why the game still isn’t available. I never played this game but went down a little rabbit hole looking for it and ET: Quake Wars and it’s insane the hoops you have to jump through to play these games that used to sell. I still hope to jump through those hoops one day and try it out.

Load up their software on prison computers, force former employees to use it daily.

Don’t you mean NVidia’s goal isn’t selling cards for gamers?

The short version is 2 reasons:

• Microsoft requires Windows 11 computers to have special new hardware that not all computers have. Security updates for Windows 10 ends in 3 months. Many people are faced with a choice of buying a new computer, or installing Linux on their current one to save money. Others realize how much Windows 11 sucks shit and switch because Linux is better.
• Gaming on Linux has gotten a lot better recently. For many people, this was the main thing holding them back. Software support in general is better than ever.

wtf I didn’t know Jubert and Prunty were on this joint! Hopefully the remaining team will make Natural Selection 3…
