I have about half as much RAM as I'd like to have, so nothing feels better than seeing this in the corner of my screen when I have nothing open

I have awoken from a dream where I was in my childhood bedroom still running windows 7 and now I want to replicate the look of windows xp or even like 98 on my arch install

Can KDE do this

the "Expose" theme is a pretty okay-ish recreation of the XP Luna theme and there are SVG icons that mimic XP.

If you want to go for 95/98, there's the Chicago95 GTK theme, and plain Windows 9x for Qt.

That said, if you want a really good recreation, try this theme on @mint-offical's Cinnamon or Chicago95 on @xfce-official as they are the desktops where these themes really shine

Hope this helps! ^^

Old mp3 players don't talk to windows 10

They DO however, talk to modern Linux distros

(finally! I can upload music from a machine that isn't permanently air-gapped)

The Grid should have run on Arch Linux with an auto-updating script and not an outdated version with Encom OS

Q4OS – I setup for myself Linux with Trinity

I setup a Linux for myself. For not powerful system. With my Acer Extensa. It has two cores with 1.5 ghz. And 4gb of ram. I select in result – Q4OS. As light Linux. For not powerful systems. With its own graphic environment. It is easier, lighter. It has a name Trinity. Firm development from system’s authors. Special for this purpose – to system not to require lots of resources. And it is very good for me.

With author`s website you to download distributive. It is written with flash as a boot. One little moment, check carefully. There are, also, Live CD images. It is for run system from device. Like flash or compact disk. And, there are for setup, install. So, for install, you need this version to download. I was not accurate and first, download Live Cd. And, I see – I cannot find option to install. But, you can run system at once! I was surprised. I see what is it. And, I start to understand, what is it all about.

Installation process. It is simple and easy. Nothing tricky. Nothing hard. This is good. Installation is friendly to the user. We are moving with steps of installation. And after - system, at last, launching. It is, already, installed. It is good to check updates. What is here. All is automatically checked by itself. It has a name packages for Linux. Lists with packages. You just need to start a certain purpose program. This means network is required. Without internet you cannot to do updates.

And, later, with manager packages. You start it and see what it can show you. So, it has lots of different. I am not expert with Linux. I take it as a probe. I setup for myself a whole pack, preset for packages. Little game. It is Chocolate Doom with some pack. So, this is not only Chocolate Doom. And, also, some files included. To have all included. So, it includes FreeDoom. And this is comfortable! So, you can start to play at once. To play. Levels for FreeDoom are unique. Even, its own graphics. But, mainly, it is same Doom.

Once again, I am not expert with Linux. And, better say, I try to try this with my own. But funny thing it is. Installer is looking like it is MS DOS.  So, it has such install line. And, system itself. It reminds Windows. Level Windows Xp or even like Windows 98, maybe. Such background, similar color. And windows forms.

Interesting moment! Visually, I like a lot this Trinity scheme for desktop. About functions it is very good. I am very surprised. There are lots of things here. And main - there package manager. Using it to update. And install. And this is comfortable. For start – it is good way.

Visual side looks like something Windows 98 with plus. I like a lot this visual side. Functions are good. And now it is my first launch.  I little about to play Doom.  I visit websites with browser. First launch was successful! And positive!

Drawing Tablet brands with Linux support as of 2024 (that I know of)

Huion (Ubuntu)

XP-Pen (Ubuntu)

Xencelabs

Gaomon (FINALLY!)

I fucking love Linux more now I'm crying

EDIT: Why didn't you add wacom or insert other tablet here? 1. I'm only choosing products based if the driver is directly from site 2. Read the parentheses 3. I'm staying the fuck away from wacom because of the companies shitty ethics after doing more research + never heard of the brand until controversy happened.
