I am absolutely in awe of the skill of these people, reverse engineering Apple hardware in their free time.

I had this weird intuition

Gotta be Plan 9.

Absolutely classic music player. The iTunes 1.0 UI pattern, which was pre-enshittification. To my eyes, I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a more overall efficient and descriptive way of browsing a local music library.

When people are free to choose the best editor for them, we ALL win.

Emacs

I pretty much just want a functioning vanilla Gnome desktop, remap caps lock to control, and I’m happy.

Yes indeed. Well: 0x0007.

I’m on trixie, since recent Mesa has many fixes for very old Radeon GPUs, and it appears to be on by default! At least, I didn’t intentionally turn it on and it’s on.

I think I did go with LZ4 after looking at benchmarks; I figured on a weak CPU speed would be more valuable than another few percent of compression. I’ll have to look into the RAM page read-ahead.

Did you need to compile a kernel to enable it? I’ve just done the project of installing Debian on a 20 year old iMac with 2.5 GB of RAM, and while zram definitely seems to help, I’d love to try this as well.

Probably to run Minecraft, I’m guessing.

Tux the penguin, the FreeBSD daemon, the OpenBSD pufferfish, MS Clippy, GIMP’s Wilber, the Rust crab, the GNU Gnu, the SuSE chameleon, a Firefox, the Darwin OS duck, and a dude in a red Fedora.

Well I was going to try Hyprland this weekend, but I think instead I will very much not do that.

I hope someone forks it from a good commit just before they replaced wlroots. I don’t know the specifics of compositor code at all, but I bet It’s going to cost them quite a bit of velocity to maintain their replacement.
