Sony had the Vaio P series, which had ridiculous 1600 x 768 displays. Fuckers were tiny. I coveted the hell out of them even while whatever 12" ThinkPad I had at the time was suiting my needs.

after reading all this i'm actually unironically so glad i use fvwm. it's almost like you have to hand-edit a window manager config file with a syntax from the 1990s in order to have a working desktop environment that won't randomly change every time you dare upgrade.

eschaton posted:if you're going to subject yourself to X-Windows, tvtwm is the one true window manager what's the diff between tvtwm and vtwm? i used vtwm for a while, i even contributed a small chunk of code to it back in the mid-1990s, that's probably still there to this day.

i've been using ubuntu 16.04 on two desktops with unity, one at home and one at work, and on both of them unity stopped working after an improper shutdown. also on this one desktop sound worked fine except the speaker and headphone jacks were mute by default. i don't remember if it was that way on the other desktop. apt-get remove lightdm, boot in console, use startx and fvwm like the old days, problem solved. ubuntu suits my needs etc. but holy gently caress unity is a bloated pile of hot garbage.2017 will be the year of linux on the desktop, i swear to god.

James Baud posted:I'm sure the joke is already stale as heck but I got around to trying Linux on the Win10 desktop tonight and it seems semi-credible. i've tried the windows subsystem for linux and found the following gripes about it: - windows can't access your subsystem for linux files - (i think) no way to invoke windows programs - (i think) nothing like `cygstart` in cygwin - C-SPC and C-@ (the two emacs key combos to set-mark) don't work in the terminal - no way to load color schemes other than manually - shift-insert doesn't paste like i'm accustomed to in cygwin - cygwin packages tend to be more up-to-date than ubuntu - terminal resizing behavior is wonky sometimes if you don't care about any of those things then the combination microsoft and linux shell is fine i guess There Will Be Penalty fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Nov 2, 2016 |
