I’m going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of “deja vu” and the number “4”, I did see djview4. I don’t think that’s what you wanted though.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a PC. I just incrementally upgrade over the years. I would be disappointed if they came out with a PC that only ran with their flavor though.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.

I recently read Kernighan’s UNIX: A History and Memoir. It was pretty interesting. Also, Bell Labs still hosts a page with a lot of links/info for Richie at: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/

There’s this: https://github.com/lextrack/Simple-Screen-Recorder

Disclaimer: I haven’t touched Windows in at least a decade.

I tried FreeBSD for several months about 15-20 years ago. I really liked how clean the filesystem and environment felt, and have suggested it for many people over the years. In the end I couldn’t get around their license vs GPL.

Everyone in my family, from my elderly parents to my kid have switched to buckwheat over the past decade or so. Every single one of them loves it. That’s just anecdotal, but for me it was completely worth it.

As Kris Kristofferson wrote, and Janis Joplin sang,“Freedom’s just another word, for nothing left to lose.”

I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I’m not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it’s expected.

Did you remove the # at the start of the font_size setting?

I’m sure you’ve seen it many times, but I love Bill Hick’s take on marketing.

I watched that when it was released, and I can’t remember that much about it. But I do remember everyone in the theater just laughing our asses off. For some reason I always kind of put in the same basket as Men at Work.

Become comfortable with the command line. Learn the when and whys of using sudo. If you aren’t willing to do that, you may not want to stick with Linux. It can have a little bit of a learning curve in the beginning (nothing like what it used to be), but you should get more comfortable in a short time.

I’m the same way. I say they can use Signal, or just SMS. Or just wait until we see each other again, if ever.

The only one I ever used was https://ltsp.org/ , but it’s been years, so I have no idea how it’s doing now. It was great for thin clients.

LFS of course.

It’s been some time since I used it on an old laptop, but Puppy Linux was very responsive on shit hardware.

I guess some communities would disappear and my feed might slow down a little bit. That’s about all I think I’d notice.
