Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure!! I can’t imagine juggling all those steps just to boot up the system…
Just a partially deaf guy who loves God, coffee, ice hockey, Linux, open source software, music, and creative writing… ~°

@sanpo @atzanteol We always figure something out (~)
@Steamymoomilk At the very least, they could create deb & or rpm packages. They also have the option to use flatpak, snap, or appimage…
@Swedneck @breadsmasher It’s wild how most modern laptops are a nightmare for repairs. Framework, feels like a breath of fresh air. Being able to buy it as a kit and put it together yourself is just so cool !! It shows that making things easy to maintain is not only possibe, but it’s not even that difficult…
@Chewy7324 @wer2 I’ll happily use wayland once XFCE officially releases support. I’m sure there may be a few kinks to work out or whatever with the initial release, but that’s to be expected…
@wer2 @Chewy7324 exactly the same here. I too daily drive XFCE, never really change my setup, and don’t require anything special that wayland offers. My setup just works for the most part…
@sugar_in_your_tea Same here… Until now, I’ve pretty much used each phone until the batteries died or the phones stopped receiving updates. My current phone, “OnePlus 9 Pro,” is different, though, because I’m considering replacing the battery when it goes and using the phone long after updates have stopped. Having no security updates doesn’t really bother me because I don’t actually use my phone all that much, and whenever I do, I’m pretty careful anyway.
@sugar_in_your_tea fair enough & I suppose you could just go to a repair shop if not…
@sugar_in_your_tea @okamiueru 7 years of updates is great, but will the phone’s battery last for 7 years, though?
@pukeko that was a fun read 🫠 strange behaviour… Was gonna say about a dirty keyboard, but it’s clearly more than that. Hope you get sorted friend 🙃
@johnglass @LeFantome @gerdesj #Vivaldi looks like a great browser, but I’ve yet to try it out & probably never will…
@LeFantome @gerdesj I’ve found a few alternatives to #chrome & #firefox over the years, but most of them weren’t all that great…
@mfat I don’t have snap or flatpak installed in any of my systems, therefore my entire system is still all upgraded with a single command…
@Otherwise_Direction7 @ccunix Yes Kodi is indeed a medic center, but you could launch it directly though a custom xsession, without the need for a de or wm. See the paste link below…
@wildbus8979 @ChunkMcHorkle +1 for Debian. I ran Debian with XFCE for a number of years on a 2009 standard white MacBook, without any problems…
@Yoru Windows is NOT Unix, so this does NOT count…
@Reva WindowLab is something I wanted to try back when I originally found it. I never actually did, but if it still works, I maybe still could…
@drwho It’s amazing how much work can go on behind the scenes to make things smooth and simple for the user…
