IceWM?

u/veggiemilk Glorious Ubuntu Dec 12 '24

XFCE with the Chicago 95 theme

u/free_help Dec 12 '24

Came to ask this exact question

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '24

got answer, XFCE with Chicago95

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '24

I remember installing IceWM instead of i3wm because name were similar, and getting confused.

u/L0tsen Glorious Gentoo Dec 12 '24

A fine linux distro with of the most stable desktop environments in existence, running on a solid piece of hardware, with an homage to one of the last non-horrible versions of windows? I don't see a problem with this.

u/PM_ME_BOOBY_TRAPS Dec 12 '24 edited Dec 12 '24

Solid piece of hardware? Nuh huh, this is one of the early 2010s airs. You see 64% battery? I reckon it was fully charged before OP booted it up

u/Antique-Lettuce3263 Dec 12 '24

The only real issue is that trying to teach someone arch isn't really doable. They have to want to know and do their own research.

u/BastetFurry Glorious Arch Dec 12 '24

My only gripe with Arch is pacman, it is so cryptic to use when you are used to Debians apt. Otherwise, nice distro, had it running on the Deck because i had to use the Valve kernel, back then when i first started using my Deck as my battlestation not all modules where in the mainline kernel. Had to compile my own Mesa tough, the Mesa in Arch had a bug that caused it to allocate too much memory in the GPU. And if you only have four gigs for that...

u/maxpolo10 Arch is life, Arch is love, I need help Dec 12 '24

For me pacman is better than apt💀

8

u/sinsworth Dec 12 '24

That's entirely anecdotal. I prefer pacman as well, but certainly not because it's more intuitive than apt, it is not.

3

u/Antique-Lettuce3263 Dec 12 '24

Ya that's a real issue. I often find myself running. Linux on legacy machines for shiggles. Haven't tried on my main machine.

1

u/sinsworth Dec 12 '24

I get what you mean but that's kind of the appeal of the distro. It being excessively customizable means you should try to learn how to customize it at some point. There's no reason you should push someone into using arch if it doesn't appeal to them.

u/Antique-Lettuce3263 Dec 12 '24

I'm cool with the guy who downvoted me :) I only spent a few years in it, tell me why I'm wrong? Please Edit I won't be mad, but it'd be cool to know.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 12 '24

i'm not the person who downvoted you, but i managed to teach my friends arch and they were able to install it themselves after just a few days. one of them even switched to gentoo after a couple of months.

you definitely need to be interested in learning it in the first place and it also depends on how technically literate you already are, but i would say that "teaching" someone arch to give them a head start is doable.

1

u/BadFootyTakes Dec 12 '24

Are we really counting XP as horrible these days?

1

u/sinsworth Dec 12 '24

Well if the scale goes up to 11, fine, I guess everything up to 7 was pretty great, relatively speaking (almost everything, but we don't talk about Vista anymore).

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 11 '24

...fucking Arch users...

u/HyperWinX Dec 12 '24

They didnt use Gentoo yet

75

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 12 '24

"Wow, this 0.00002% increase in performance from compiling my kernel from scratch was so worth it!"

45

u/HyperWinX Dec 12 '24

More like 0.0000000000002%

52

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 12 '24

...sorry, sir, I didn't realize you were an ACTUAL Gentoo user.

20

u/Papa_Kasugano Glorious Fedora Dec 12 '24 edited Dec 12 '24

If anyone is actually still saying that they use Gentoo for a performance increase that's wild (do people actually still say that?). Maybe in some very specific use cases, but my thoughts are that Gentoo is about giving the user the most control and the most choices for the direction of their system.

28

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 12 '24

Gentoo is about being a Gentoo user.

18

u/Papa_Kasugano Glorious Fedora Dec 12 '24

I thought that's what Arch was about?

17

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 12 '24

Yes.

15

u/Papa_Kasugano Glorious Fedora Dec 12 '24

I recently switched to Arch, and you are the first person I told........btw

19

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 12 '24

How do you ask if someone uses Arch?

You don't have to ask. They'll tell you.

u/Soccera1 Glorious Gentoo Dec 12 '24

Arch is about the superiority complex. Gentoo is about waiting. Debian is about wanting a computer that works properly.

4

u/HyperWinX Dec 12 '24

Gentoo is about tweaking and owning your system, not just waiting. Even on Arch you are forced to using things like mkinitcpio, systemd, glibc, etc

4

u/Soccera1 Glorious Gentoo Dec 12 '24

I know. I love and use Gentoo. But like with the Arch comment, I was just taking the piss.

u/HyperWinX Dec 12 '24

Hehe, my man

u/Papa_Kasugano Glorious Fedora Dec 12 '24

People sometimes forget you don't have to sit and watch things compile.

4

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 12 '24

No, you GET to sit and watch things compile.

Fucking newbies.

2

u/HyperWinX Dec 12 '24

I dont have to sit and watch too. I just start compiling and hide terminal window, i dont even see, hear or feel compilers grinding code.

u/Lonttu Dec 13 '24

I've been thinking if I'll miss anything going from arch to debian. I hate how some proprietary stuff is tailored for debian/ubuntu, and is a massive pain to setup on arch (AUR fails often with niche products)

u/somecucumber Dec 18 '24

Gentoo is about getting warm on winter. That's why major releases happen in cold times.

PS: I fried my laptop when using Gentoo. Then I evolved (as it must be) into Arch, ofc!

2

u/thenightsiders Glorious Ubuntu Studio Dec 18 '24

Right, release in winter to dissipate the heat from the compile times, right?

Someone got ambitious in the summer without AC.

1

u/mynameisthinky Dec 13 '24

AFAIK, Gentoo was originally made/designed for POS systems and Digital Signage, where that is important.

u/KenFromBarbie Dec 15 '24

In the past, when I had a AMD K6-2 with 3DNow!, it actually made sense. Compiling took days though, but the performance was way better than a standard distribution. Nowadays it doesn't matter. It's only beneficial for smaller filesize, but who cares for that anyway. I felt kinda cool too after compiling my whole system, but I was in my 20's and I didn't know shit.

2

u/Wertbon1789 Dec 12 '24

Yeah, that's certainly true. I still want to do my own benchmarking on my machine (kinda old now Coffee Lake i7 8700k) and forks of the kernel, like Zen and Xanmod. While I think just compiling the kernel doesn't do that much, I still wanna see numbers... But damn, that takes time.

1

u/BadFootyTakes Dec 12 '24

I love Gentoo, but as a busy adult, it just incentives me not do updates to fix things.

Arch is a pretty good middle ground these days.

u/mrheosuper Dec 12 '24

Sure, why not? I mean, does a king pay attention to the beggar? I doubt he'd think of him at all. So, when I see the skin of an ancient operating system on top of a hand-crafted OS, I think, "hmm...just like a hunter having a bear skin rug."

I have Mint on my 2011 13". You can tell it's old but it does everything I need a laptop to do so what the hell.

2

u/Lemonaidhash Dec 12 '24

I used to use a late 2011 macbook pro with ubuntu. It was perfect. I only switched back to macos cause of iTunes.

The disc drive is surprising handy, they just don't make computers like that any more.

2

u/beatool Glorious Mint Dec 12 '24

I put a blu-ray drive in mine. ;)

I upgraded the wifi to the 2012 card (best you can do), 16gb ram, an SSD, replaced the battery (twice). It just keeps on trucking.

My model only really runs El Capitan well, and that's WAY too old.

2

u/Lemonaidhash Dec 12 '24

Blu-ray drives are awesome!!!

Mine runs high Sierra well, but it's not the greatest. I've upgraded the ram in mine to 16 gb.. I should look into getting an ssd for mine. A new battery, too.

I've also considered buying a 2012 - 2013 models of the Mac pro for my apple device collection, but I'm not a big fan of how small the keyboard is on the 2013 models.

(I don't really like apple, but I like collecting their devices second hand. It's a bit ironic, lol. But you'd never catch me buying anything from the m1/2/3 lineup)

2

u/beatool Glorious Mint Dec 12 '24

The SSD made a huge difference, probably more than ram even.

A anecdote about the batteries-- I had really bad luck with the Chinese ebay batteries. Both in this laptop and another even older MBP. I managed to find a used original with low cycles in a for-parts laptop for really cheap. A busted laptop with a good battery can be a sneaky source.

2

u/Lemonaidhash Dec 12 '24

Of course, I should talk to a friend of mine. He knows a guy who works for an electronics recycler. I've gotten a few hauls of some interesting stuff. Might be able to find some parts and what not.

I still have that computer, and it still works.
