i love lamp.
I installed Solis Budgie today on an old Optiplex. It’s fast. Nice looking.

But every Linux distro’s attempt to build an App Store is hilarious. Like no one wants to install the Inkscape help docs by themselves. Also a Games category? Really? Why?

you'll find a lot of that with fedora, and it's always because it's in a repo that isn't quite official enough to make it into the base config

yes, it's possible they might have learned not to post in fyad before having posted in fyad by lurking more

Self-promotion time. If anybody has an RPI3 or 4 and wants to use it as an emulator box, I got retroarch working on both of them this weekend.

Check out https://github.com/retroroot-linux/retroroot/tree/develop if you want to make an SDcard. I will add Bluetooth support later today, as I forgot to add the patches needed for the raspberry pi to work with the bluez stack. I also have an x86 config, although I don't guarantee that it boots from USB3.

how is this different than just downloading a ready-to-go retro pie image?

Eh, it's probably not so much. The main differences are:
- Easy to build an image from the source
- Easy to modify the config file to suit your needs.
- I plan on adding more embedded boards in the next week or two.
- Smaller than RetroPi. A full build is around 350MB and a stripped-down version clocks in at 100MB~
- Isn't specifically just for the raspberry pi. I also have an X86-64 defconfig

Also, this is more of a fun side-project to make something people can use and tinker with/modify themselves. Or at least, that's the hope.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
now do one around SIMH that boots straight to VMS with networking etc. fully configured, with SIMH console and VMS OPCOM in separate tmux windows with infinite scrollback

Looks like it's broken up depending on what kind of compiler you want. Try dnf search mingw and watch the screen scroll by for a couple minutes.

yeah, i ended up figuring it out and am now trying to figure out if the compiler bitching about a function not being defined (that is defined a few lines below it) is normal and this documentation is wrong or if i need to gently caress with something, in the programming thread

if it's a C file then the function header needs to be defined before it actually gets used.

You can run the preprocessor to see if the header is actually defined somewhere or if you have the wrong headers or if the preprocessor flags are not configured correctly.
