Mandrake 9 around 2004

I just played it for a while, runs well, looks good, is fun! In the past, I also played nexuiz and warsow online, they are similar The latest version of xonotic is in gentoo repositories 🥳

but it has no xp, levels and drops??

Gentoo because it can do it all

they don’t care and as long as no court ruled, they do what they want, which will probably work out for them

are all those 80mm fans? that must be loud

I switched my mothers Laptop to Gentoo with KDE some time ago and she did not even notice, because I placed the firefox icon at the same location it was in windows … 😜 she noticed only that the wallpaper is different

So some random new game is enough for you to change your whole operating system?

yep, looks good. should be new then, since they were still in packaging.

You have to decide for yourself if not having to send it back and the reduced price is worth not having a warranty from the manufacturer. does the seller have to provide warranty anyway in your country? I think this would be the case in my country, if the seller is a business, irrelevant what warranty seagate gives you

Some anecdotal evidence, take it or leave it :-) I have a 12x 4 year old Exos 7E8 (the previous generation) and I’ve not had any failure yet since I bought em. In the past, I had many (many many…) failed seagate drives but never within the warranty span

They’re probably 5 years or older anyway, or do you know the manufacturing date?

Ctrl + R is bash history search

Nostalgia for those 80s and 90s kids who grew up with norton commander ;-)

Transition takes time

Nice, cant wait to have this

I think your panel freezing is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469016 and I got rid of it by disabling window previews

I’d imagine there aren’t many people in the world who could even attempt to clean up such code. since I don’t use such old hardware and I think such old hardware for the most part does not use kernels >= 6.5, I concur with this removal

Kscreenlocker because it came as default and I made it look identical to sddm

# systemd-analyze time

Startup finished in 39.050s (firmware) + 6.680s (loader) + 993ms (kernel) + 3.519s (initrd) + 22.326s (userspace) = 1min 12.570s 
graphical.target reached after 21.680s in userspace.

for me, most time is used until the bootloader shows up, because I had to disable “fast boot” in bios because it made some problems on rebooting. pressing enter in grub could speed up 5 seconds more ;-) gentoo, systemd, 2x2tb nvme, 32 gb ram, 4 hdds. could be faster, but it mostly doesn’t matter because I power on the system every morning but don’t use it right away

edit: on my server, which is not UEFI, therefore has no “firmware” part:

# systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 1.814s (kernel) + 47.640s (initrd) + 36.602s (userspace) = 1min 26.057s 
graphical.target reached after 36.602s in userspace.

and on my laptop, which boots fast AF

# systemd-analyze time
Startup finished in 4.242s (firmware) + 14.631s (loader) + 1.737s (kernel) + 3.210s (initrd) + 5.136s (userspace) = 28.959s 
graphical.target reached after 4.936s in userspace.

I use both on gentoo for some obscure or proprietary stuff that is not packaged in portage, like filebot, authy desktop, discord, steam and foobar2000 (including wine in 1 bundle to avoid dependencies and switching all portage packages to 32bit abi). It works well and opens me up to loads of stuff. It’s freedom in some way.

Snap or flatpak makes no difference to me, they’re just different backends for kde discover

No because Op’s question is, what about those who do not confine to xdg config home?
