I thought it was just the Qt theme, but I could be wrong.

I’ll give it a go! Is there a GTK theme that goes well with it?

This one?

• Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Machine: Acer Aspire 5742z
• Desktop: KDE Plasma 5
• GTK Theme: Breeze
• Qt Theme: Oxygen
• Plasma Theme: Oxygen
• Colour Scheme: Breeze Dark
• Icons: Oxygen
• Fetch: Hyfetch

I use master because I’m nostalgic. If it matters that much, though, I’ll start using trunk (like we used to back in the days of SVN).

I use Reddit via one of three frontends (kddit, Eddrit, and Remini).

Some of my known haunts include:

• r/pifsandpsas
• r/Weirdcore
• r/scarysigns
• r/HoldMyRedBull
• r/BSDmemes

Yeah, they’re having some trouble with Pictrs. I’ll relink.

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!

Well, that explains the memes.

Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.

Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:

• # pkg install <package>

  or

• $ doas pkg install <package>

and can be found at FreshPorts.

Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.

Remember to check the documentation!

Thanks!

What themes/configs are you using?

ONLYOFFICE is quite good, although it prefers DOCX.

A very nice list. I believe the entire Simple Mobile project has been forked to preserve the brilliant apps before their new owner completely butchers them. However, I don’t have a link handy right now.

Ah, I didn’t know about any of that.

Try Friendica first. If it’s not your cup of tea, here are a few others:

• Firefish
• Mastodon
• Akkoma
• GNU Social
• diaspora*
• Hubzilla

Ah, bollocks.

Very nice.

Void was tricky. I didn’t like Runit, and the package selection wasn’t great.

As for siduction, it was just a touch too buggy (i.e. XScreensaver caused the laptop to freeze when I closed the lid) and too preconfigured to be able to resolve easily. It also played havoc with my school’s BYOD internet. I’ll probably go back to it at some point, though.

Of course, the main reason for this new install is that I just bought an SSD, and I’d rather start fresh than try to flash my old hard disk across.
