Way back in the late XX century.
Oh look, Netscape Navigator is back.
They used to say that every product evolves until it can send mail. In that sense, this is now a mature product.
Of course nowadays no product is finished without built-in LLM functionality, so I’ll wait for that
Inertia is an immensely powerful force.
You can and should use whatever OS fits your use case. Right tool for the job and all that.
What you should not do is post a clickbait video to trigger the penguins into giving you views.
Or you’re putting yourself in the director’s place.
That’s the way I mostly see movies now, and while it gives you a broader window over the whole movie it also removes some of the fun.
How often are you going to be managing ports?
Just use any tool you like, all they do is fiddle with the Kernel’s filter table.
We played Doom on MS DOS. It was hugely popular because it was a breakthrough for PC gaming. So nothing to do with Linux.
We do what we must because we can.
Yes, sorry, I always get them mixed up.
Use Audacity. You can even load all the old Winamp skins.
My favorite way of reviving ancient 32 bit hardware is installing Haiku. It’s such a cool little OS, even if it can’t do all the tasks modern Linux can.
Xubuntu is still my distro of choice.
Removing snap and installing flatpak is two commands away.
Don’t forget there are services around that will copy your playlists from one service to another.
I’ve been using Tidal for a long time, and it has only gotten better.
They recently upgraded all tiers to high quality (better than CD) quality for free.
Meanwhile Spotify still doesn’t have the high quality audio tier they promised a few years ago.
This is the only game to have a permanent shortcut on my desktop.
I play it with some modern tweaks and mods. It’s a sure way to get my quick dose of gaming rush.
Once level up enough you’ll be writing a GRUB replacement yourself. Now that would be a massive achievement.
I’ve just built it from source to check it out.
Looks great, all the included apps work fine. I seem to only be able to open one app at the time and can’t find any way to close it or change to a different one, but that may be a problem on my setup.
I still haven’t tried any 3rd party apps.
Achievement unlocked.
If you can fix it you unlock another one. If you manage to boot the system without using a rescue USB pen you unlock another one.
I had erased that information from my memory. Also it took a long time for Linux to gain USB support, then a long time to get WIFI (also because of the cheap vendors that used windows drivers to do the heavy lifting). Yeah, it was a very uphill struggle, with Microsoft actively pushing against Linux (remember the ‘Linux is a virus’ narrative?) I’m amazed we made it this far.
