@kaia I think that misses quite few points of winamp, for example the efficient size of the window without scarifying controls, so you could leave it in a corner of your display and be able to make quick adjustments.
@hj@kaia I know it is, I know quite few people IRL that had FirefoxOS phones and well… browser side of SailfishOS died at the same time (and got somewhat necro'd).
@dushman@lanodan@kaia yeah yeah, bite my shiny metal ass, i still have a :debian: debian partition both on that machine and on my main PC and i do sometimes want to convert it to arch but sofa there haven't been a strong need for it.
@lanodan@kaia i can give google as much shit as i can, but all in all they did make android, even if it turned to shit, it's still mighty useful, much like windows in general from microsoft, who deserves not just shit but also massive collective diarrhea from entire humanity.
So far my de-googlified Fairphone 4 have been much more usable and useful than... than.... my.... librem 5......
@dushman@lanodan@kaia yeah at the time i didn't know about it. Hell, my second "real" experience with arch was "arch on ARM" thing that i only later realized that arch really IS just for x86(_64)
kinda cringe ngl after using debian literally everywhere :sadge:
@dushman@lanodan@kaia i've heard about alpine but no clue what artix is. I'm literally a windows "normie" "power user" who figured that ubuntu is just "dressed up debian" and later experienced that "to install KDE on ubuntu you need to install kubuntu" and "if you want to uninstall canonical bloat you never going to use you have to uninstall half of the system because dependencies are declared in malicious ways" and used debian for like a decade (2013-2023 p much).
I mean HELL, i took some enjoyment from installing w95 on 86box and then installing w98 on 86box WHILE MY DAD WAS AT MY PLACE and also while I WAS DRUNK.
and later booting into it again to fix graphics and sounds and it's still not done.
:mycomputer:
look i don't really care about Unix, BSD, Linux, Windows all of that jazz, i just like computers, and up until 2013 or so windows was...... bearable and only one option, then linux came and was better apart from gaming, now it's usable for gaming and i almost entirely forgot how to use windows, everything i do about windows pretty much comes out of my spine/subcon.
I just never got into distrohopping and i don't see much point. ubuntu and flavors look much like ZverCD "distros" of winXP, just prebuilts with different software that i get to re-choose anyway, much like debian comes with uh... idk, gnome or just tty and i can just install KDE and live my life?
@dushman@lanodan@kaia pretty much everything i have was running some sort of debian up until earlier this year. my SoCs are running dietpi (except one that is running armbian) which is based on deiban. All my "cloud" and "real hardware" servers are running debian. It's just at some point Debian Testing became rather unusable for desktop-like purposes, so now everything desktop-like (main desktop PC, steambox, work laptop) runs manjaro.
apart from steamdeck. no need to run anything else on that for now.
@hj@kaia@dushman@lanodan The distrohopping thing is something that you'll figure out down the line. Every distro has different configuration for software or just does the same things differently and some may prefer one over an another. It's not the custom Windows ISOs where it's the same Windows but with a different coat of paint.
@hj@shigusegubu.club@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me@kaia@brotka.st Also on a more serious note about Manjaro I'd actually advise against using it. The devs have a poor track record. Their security practices are questionable at best. They managed to accidentally ddos the AUR on two different occasions. They let ssl certs expire 4 times and told users to revert their system clock to make the website work. Also their policy of delaying changes from Arch by a week for no sane reason just makes the system less stable than vanilla Arch even.
