I’m the same but the waking up part is optional.

You’ll feel at home in !2meirl4meirl@lemmy.ml but I’m not sure this counts as positive coping

Just a rough decade, you’ll sleep it off

Thanks!

Any idea where to find one of these?

Yewtube is like an institution, running since forever. Afair it’s the same person which runs xcancel.

I haven’t seen these until much later

Have you tried tagging it with something safe (like “Dos”) and then tagging again?

I didn’t get that far. And I only had an Amiga at that time, which made things more difficult to set up. I wonder how fluent transparency would be with AGA, haha. My next attempt was woth a PC around 2003 with KDE3 and it got me hooked.

I loved reading HOWTOs, they were a bit like scene zines, but the content wasn’t that helpful indeed

Contrary to other OSes, the information about it was mainly on the internet, no books or magazines. With only one computer at most homes, and no other internet-connected devices, that posed a problem when something didn’t work.

It took me weeks to write a working X11 config on my computer, finding all the hsync/vsync values that worked by rebooting back and forth. And the result was very underwhelming, just a terminal in an immovable window. I think I figured out how to install a window manager but lost all patience before getting to a working DE. Days and days of fiddling and learning.

Love the gently ironic commentary in the article.

Aren’t sysfs entries supposed to be created by kernel modules?

Hauk is the best, rock stable, ephemeral or permanent links, group shares, really has it all

Huh, intereating to see MoE went mainstream!

/r/dhexchange

It’s a lifestyle, not a way to save money. I pay for piracy related tech more than a netflix subscription costs.

I clicked this looking for ATDT+blogposts and left disappointed

XFCE, using it for over 10 years, not planning to change it unless the DE changes radically.

Am i fucked if i haven’t posted on facebook since like 2014?

Xubuntu LTS. I’ve been meaning to switch to Debian Stable when something breaks, but it’s my third LTS on the desktop and 5th on the laptop and there was just no opportunity. I also learned to avoid PPAs and other 3rd party repos, and just use appimages when possible.

You can have a kernel from Testing or even Sid, I believe, but yeah, it’s what we want to avoid - tweaking.

LTS is released every 2 years, for reference.
