I thought it was just the Qt theme, but I could be wrong.

I’ll give it a go! Is there a GTK theme that goes well with it?

This one?

• Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Machine: Acer Aspire 5742z
• Desktop: KDE Plasma 5
• GTK Theme: Breeze
• Qt Theme: Oxygen
• Plasma Theme: Oxygen
• Colour Scheme: Breeze Dark
• Icons: Oxygen
• Fetch: Hyfetch

Ha! Yeah, I remember that phase. I was planning to install LXDE as my first distro, simply because I thought the wallpaper looked cool.

Yeah, they’re having some trouble with Pictrs. I’ll relink.

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.

As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.

Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.

That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)

I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!

There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.

Whoa! Thank you!

Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.

Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:

• # pkg install <package>

  or

• $ doas pkg install <package>

and can be found at FreshPorts.

Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.

Remember to check the documentation!

That be a Conky. I’ll give you a copy of my config in a bit, if you like.

EDIT: Here it is: mocha.conf. If you don’t have the font, JetBrains Mono, installed, you will need to edit the file to reflect this.

I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.

Thanks!

The Musl issues were a while ago. The other issues were experienced on the glibc version.

Void is a distribution I keep trying, but I believe I’ll be either sticking with the Arch family or switching to Gentoo, openSUSE, or NixOS.

Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don’t like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.

What themes/configs are you using?

Honestly, I like Breeze. I just change the colour and it works.

I am also quite a fan of Oxygen and Mint-X; but they look out-of-place on my newer systems, and my older systems have trouble running Plasma.

Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!

Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.

That’s what I actually say. “Just use Linux” works better for the meme.

What?
