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
They hate everyone and everything they perceive as not being them. And many secretly hate themselves as well. There is very little other nuance.
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
The instance is dedicated to politics. Authoritarian politics at that. The top level domain .ml belongs to Mali. They aren’t fans of Mali. They use it because it has similar initials to Marxist Leninism. Which is the ideology that worship. The administrators run the instance like a vanguard protectorate. Going against dogma will instantly get you banned from many communities. And depending on how inadequate the admins are feeling, even the instance.
This can be a problem to grow a community in many levels. Visitors simply losing access for pushing back against bad logic etc. Many instances block the ML instances for that reason. And even on those that don’t like world plenty block it at the user level like myself. I’ve tried to engage in good faith but it just isn’t there. And have had friends banned by paranoid administrators. Simply because we were being the same NAT, and the thought it was some ineffective attempt to brigade. With what, 2 accounts? It’s just a bad time dealing with ideologues.
Aaaah too bad. Saw the discussion earlier and then this announcement. But I don’t do .ml, best of luck though.
Yep. Exactly what I predicted. You can’t actually describe what any of them are. Simply repeating propaganda.
I just tend to defer to Jim Morrison who once said
People are strange,
Yes the whole noun versus adjective thing. Communists aren’t communist. And their faces go blank as a dial tone plays in their head.
Technically we are both correct. But you’re still wrong. Not surprising since you cannot actually accurately describe what capitalism, socialism, or communism is.
