it was amazing just how much faster it felt than an RPi or RPi2 with stock Raspbian despite having a fraction the raw performance

eschaton it is good to see you come to your senses and use an actually-good unix

just imagine the world that could have been, if apple had followed through on solaris licensing

ew, Solaris, I was actually using SunOS

I just booted the machine as I received it once to see what it had on it before

(answer: Sun internal stuff, holy poo poo)

NetBSD would be better if it was atop Mach, maybe someone has posted Darwin to SPARC…

the terminal is the main linux user interface. having it open constantly is not a problem, it's a sign that you're doing things correctly.

the best thing about twm is how fast it is

literally if you just have twm and a couple of raw xterms instead of gnome-terminal, the raw blazing speed is glorious

although I'm kinda surprised that it didn't load xeyes as well

Although it's probably the most user friendly solution, I think gnome is one of the worst things to put on a raspberry pi if you're gonna give it to a non-linux user. RPI is an awesome solution for so many things but running it as a desktop just convinces people that LInux is cheap and slow.

The only way I'd give a raspberry pi to my parents is if I leave it as a network device (like a backup target or a file share server). It's quiet, low-power and gets the job done.

i always liked ctwm back in the day

i do occasionally have to use a rpi for work, putting twm or ctwm on it is probably a pretty good idea

there's a gnome tweak tool thing that turns off all gnome 3 animations and it does wonders for the system's responsiveness

gnome-terminal does take an entire 300ish milliseconds to start up oh the no

two-finger scroll in epiphany is pretty fucken smooth

battery life under linux isn't brilliant tbh but i mean i get 6 hrs of it if i'm not thrashing the cpu hard so i'll live with it until i finally figure out why the gently caress this udev rule to enable sata link power management doesn't take

i'mma go ahead and conclude that you're computer is a piece of poo poo op

to be honest, I would rather shoot myself than use twm in any serious context

maybe use icewm or fvwm instead? or windowmaker?

lol @ using a raspberry pi for anything desktop-related.

I have two at home, one is running a caching DNS & nginx for sinkholing about 2500 ad domains in my LAN and https-reverse proxying another rpi that is serving as a surveillance camera server (which does not support https).

needs very suited for less than a hundred bucks worth of hardware & minimal electricity draw.
