I'm in the same boat as you. Loved it for what it was on my old Pentium 2 (no internet). Learner a lot and had a blast. Not a daily driver now I have time constraints and binary packages lose what made it special. Happy on Arch for personal stuff and Debian for mission critical stuff.

Linux gamers say Delta Force game is 'not part of our agenda in the future'

Very cute! Good on you for being responsible too, both for the wildlife's sake and theirs 😊

Yeah, I'm not a fan of flatpak for my usage, but this isn't a great argument against it.

I'd rather someone "only" release on flatpak if that's the simplest way they can support Linux compared to no support at all.

I'll fight you! In a game of Pathfinder of course.

No, it was mostly the manufacturers fault for implying that their machine would run the operating system it shipped with well. Well that and Microsoft's fault for strong arming them to push Vista on machines that weren't going to run it well.

Now said contributor works a bit more on the project and adds some great new functionality, but floorp don't agree it fits their plans. So the contributor decides to make their own fork called ceilingp and build from that. Nope, they don't have the license to do so. They can take the mpl parts. They can take their own parts (they didn't sign an exclusive release of their code). They can add their own new code. They can't use the rest of the floorp code though.

So floorp gets the benefits but no one else can build off it without permission (save for private use without releasing it and potentially having others do the same).

Hearing your monitor squeal when you got the modelines wrong was fun.

How does this compare to wlroots?

I absolutely love Hyprland but have no respect for Vaxry beyond his coding ability.

I really hope someone starts a good fork of it, I haven't found another wm I like as much but I hate to be seen as supporting that awful person.

Before I had a proper internet connection (had to ask permission to borrow a dial up account) I bought a magazine that had a picture of a cow on it saying that Larry the cow was different. It was a DVD image of the stage one mirror of this new fangled Gentoo thing.

Learnt from the magazine how to install a bootloader and so on and then "bravely" typed emerge world into the terminal after configuring the list of all the packages I wanted. Including a full desktop (KDE I think but may have been Gnome). And Firefox. And Open Office. And some multimedia stuff I don't remember.

On a Pentium ii.

Took a week before I could do the next step :D

It's its own kind of sexy.
