Without X there is no X forwarding. So that’s pretty much it. Honestly it’s been over 20 years since I used a remote x-session much. For modern tasks especially it’s not as functional as even vnc or something like rust desk.

Outside those playing around with retro systems and software locked to them. Or a few isolated archaic business systems. Most will never notice the difference.

Flat, answerable governance. That’s all. People only need alienation from terrible decisions. The insulation/alienation from the outcomes of their decisions are what allow them to make such horrible decisions easily.

Yep this really just seems like a tragedy from someone being overzealous. In the end only hurting allies. There’s no good outcome from this. But arguably the worst I think is to demonize an ally in an attempt to deflect blame. By shooting “preemptively” they’re where there blame lays unfortunately.

I don’t necessarily think that there should be imprisonment or jail in this for anyone. It was all completely unintentional. And doesn’t serve any public good. But I think unfortunately a lot of people are going to want someone to crucify or demonize.

Its always rhapsody. Never AUX.

Heh, I’m aware of DT but know nothing of a gun video. But he certainly gave a vibe like the 8 bit guy. So not surprised.

Yeah I think Brody was spot on with his assessment that this is exactly what a fork should be for. And people who want it will be able to use the fork Etc and X work will have its stability for now.

I only have a general perception of what happened with Lunduke. But I don’t know the specifics about what happened etc. Who was 2.0? Lol I wasn’t even aware of that necessarily for there to be a 3.0

Very likely.

Both sides however have behaved badly and both have valid points. Brodie had a decent video on it. Though for me the BS DEI claims are beyond the pale.

The Dev in question was pushing a number of breaking changes. Which yeah, if you’re pulling from git you’re gonna git bugs every once in a while. The problem is releases are so infrequent. People are pulling from the git and trying to use it for daily use. In order to get more up to date features. Some of the free desktop guys got a little too harsh with him. But then he sort of let loose with this whole Dei Etc psychosis. Which did him no favors.

Unfortunately though. There aren’t very many easy arm distros that are Arch based. I have done the traditional Arch install on x86 systems though. Gentoo as well. They are definitely good learning experiences. But honestly even as a techie person. For my money. I’m not going to waste time doing that every time I end up reinstalling or installing.

You never know when you will find another college student from Finland who happens to be in just the right place at just the right time for their hobby project to blow up.

Right now though it’s something to Marvel at. That something like Linux or Linux Mint even exists and is as usable as it is.

For many it’s just a hobby. But I really think with the way certain things are falling into place. Now would definitely be a good time for a few projects at least to get focused. With RISC V on the horizon, as well as a few basic open source GPU implementations. This would be a perfect time for a BSD or something similar to dive in heavy and establish themselves as a primary player for that sort of hardware.

But a lot of these obvious coders Etc and their projects also help shape future paradigms and push projects forward in their own way. So it’s still exciting to see what comes of them. It’s why all these years later I still check in from time to time on React OS.

People forget or are blissfully unaware of the financial mismanagement, the basic incompetence with keeping their own domain. They nearly lost it several times. Not to mention shipping with the AUR while being incompatible in many ways with the Aur.

If someone wants to use Endeavor or Garuda or one of the other different easy to use Arch spin-offs. There’s no issue with that. They all work like they’re supposed to and have generally been competent teams. There really is very little reason to use Manjaro these days. The last time I used it was for their Raspberry Pi version. Which wasn’t really going to work with the Aur anyhow. But I think endeavor is still providing a pi image now so there’s still no reason to use Manjaro

That said all this is yet another tick for Wayland.

Just watched Perry’s video. Best of luck to him. Honestly I’d love to see the brand revived. The X 16 the first new product. Revivals of the old. Maybe some new products based on riscv.

Actually plasma mobile is more than adequate for this device. It works great. Granted the desktop once it’s loaded takes up a little less than half the ram. But that 2 GB still allows me to do some pretty heavy browsing video watching even painting in krita.

I got an old Chromebook tablet and tossed post market on it. I wish it had a bit more ram. 4gb. But other than that more than adequate. Best 50 bucks I’ve spent o. A tablet.

I wouldn’t mind just one screen size. The main reason I won’t buy another Android tablet for the foreseeable future. Is that none of them support them long term. I have three different ones from the last 10 years. All of which we’re doing good just to get one OS upgrade

A lot of people have ml blocked. World shouldn’t have everything on it. Seems like pieces could be a decent alternative.

That’s literally the niche inferno and plan were designed for. Plan was designed so that local and remote were abstracted away. Everything was just a data stream. You could run inferno literally in a browser. Which you don’t get much more in the web than that lol.

Specifically inferno is what android sort of half was. Android traditionally heavily leveraged java/dalvik bytecode for apps. But the root system was native. The bytecode ran on top of that. Inferno pushed the bytecode all the way to the micro kernel.

I still install other os like all these regularly. The thing that has kept me from keeping them. Is lack of a few basic things like modern web browsers. I hear haiku is making progress in that front at least. I have fond memories of running Be on an old Pentium II.

Nah, the front fell off. Yes they are still kicking. But they are more just maintaining plan 9 largely as it existed.

I think it was harvey? They planned to do things a little more sacrilegious. Offering desktop environments other than Rio out of the box. Bringing over compiles for Firefox Etc. And providing a simple easy to use installer like many Linux distributions these days. Sort of like the Ubuntu of Plan 9.

Not going to admonish the devs for doing what they like in their own time. There are a lot of hobby OS out there and they are fun to tinker around with for a few minutes.

And this is likely my own personal nitpick. But honestly rather than starting something new I would really like to see someone adopt and modernize something like Plan 9 or Inferno. A few years ago there was a group trying to do a more modern user-centered version of plan 9. Complete with a lot of the more modern apps that users would want to use on such a system. I think once they saw the actual scope that the project would require, it kind of silently sputtered out to the best of my knowledge. Those operating systems were so ahead of their time. Linux is only just now catching up in some ways.

LOL though I’m sure I will still download the image and pop it open in vert manager for a few minutes later today

Yep. Exactly what I predicted. You can’t actually describe what any of them are. Simply repeating propaganda.
