I don't want an iPhone, and it's a long story as to why I'm stuck with one.

It wasn't my dumb idea.

I use ProtonVPN 24/7, and it hasn't changed anything. It's a firmware thing, I think.

I will as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

I prefer WikiLess, tbh. Also, Metastem uses .su, which was the TLD for the Soviet Union.

My situation is complicated.

[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, really? Why is it in such a state‽

[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Possibly, but for the sake of sideloading I'd may as well just buy an Android.

Wasn't my choice. I was 10.

Something Android has had since version 1.0: the ability to install apps from places other than the App Store.

I've been seeing a few posts lately that, while interesting and beautiful, are not weirdcore.

Since this community rarely has any activity, I've left a few of them up; but for ****'s sake, please post actual weirdcore art.

Just so everyone knows what to do, I'll flood the community with a few images from r/weirdcore.

I have a MacBook (specifically a MacBook2,1 A1181) from 2007. I am currently dual-booting Mac OS X 10.6 and crunchbang++ 12 on it, but I feel that there could be something better. Here are the specs:

  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 (2) @ 2.167 GHz
  • Architecture: x86_64-v1 (but with 32-bit BIOS, so 64-bit Linux won't work)
  • Microarchitecture: Merom
  • GPU: Intel GMA 950
  • RAM: 3 GB
  • Disk: 140 GB HDD

This is not supposed to be a daily driver by any stretch. I have newer and more powerful machines than this, but I would still like to have something on it that means I can use it if need be.

As well as crunchbang++, I have also run Debian, Devuan, SparkyLinux, GNU Guix, Puppy Linux, Slackware, and Haiku in the past. I have tried to install several flavours of BSD, but it was too difficult to get dual-booting to work properly.

Despite the CPU being 64-bit, the distro MUST be 32-bit. This is because of the MacBook's BIOS, which prevents 64-bit bootloaders from working.

Not that it matters, as I can do this after installation, but I would be looking to run something like Enlightenment, Trinity, or spectrwm. I tried going CLI-only with Guix, but it wasn't the best experience.

Feel free to also recommend software that will run on a potato like this.

Thanks!

EDIT: Two users have told me how to get 64-bit Linux running on this machine. Debian apparently ships with 32-bit GRUB on the ISO, and there's a CLI tool to patch ISOs to make them work.

I'm going to be doing a clean install of Arch Linux on an old ThinkPad tomorrow morning, and I'd like some suggestions for a window manager, desktop environment, or Wayland compositor.

It can have a learning curve, but I would like it to not have too steep a learning curve (I have been using i3 for a while, and I have just come from LeftWM which I configured to have i3 keybinds). Also, in order to make it fairly obvious to my peers that I'm using Linux, I'd like it to look nothing like Windows or macOS.

Preferably something light (at least out of the box). When I was using LeftWM, my RAM usage was often around 200MB. I recently did a system analysis and I have 8GB of RAM, but my CPU will hold me back. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo of the Penryn microarchitecture (x86_64-v1).

Any suggestions?
