@russjr08 @green previously it used grub4dos that was lauched from windows xp bootloader. this is still useful on mbr-efi multi-os boot usb drives

@pinball_wizard @Kolanaki why not just install tde? It may look like classic windows, but better

@wander1236 @Lexam with tcc, this should be possible…

@DmMacniel @muhyb does ps/2 allow hotplug?

@30p87 @SnotFlickerman until you are out of inodes…

@renzev for me, /mnt/runtime/default is not enough, because some apps using /mnt/runtime/read or /mnt/runtime/write as storage.

@renzev @Ephera it does not work good, because on android you have to mount sshfs 3 times to become it accessible for apps. Just little option to add 2 bind mounts and maintain it would solve fs access issues, but now manually doing it in root shell is not easy

@jaschen @SpaceNoodle or some unknown error only disappearing after reboot (especially with winsshfs/winfsp-like drivers)

@Ephera @renzev android fs is just sucks. You cannot share folder with other app because of gargage sepolicy. You can share folder descriptor to bypass mount namespace, but selinux will prevent accessing it until set to permissive mode. And android does not provide way to patch sepolicy for user.

@graphene @Tattorack usually PWAs can be easily fetched and re-hosted locally

@Rusty @Kory Usually i using http://www.rdesktop.org/, but it is not actively developed now

@MystikIncarnate @_carmin try different DE like TDE, XFCE, KDE

@stevedice @Adanisi when you writing code in any project, you have copyright on your own code. Nothing prevents you reusing your code with other (even closed source) form until you sign some additional agreement. Yes, you cannot change license of other’s code and keep mixed code non-GPL, so you might be need to keep your code in separate file with permissive GPL compatible license to prevent mixing with GPL code.

@devfuuu @cm0002 still using grub installation and configs i generated in 2011. Questions?

@NONE_dc looks like pipewire moment :)

@Natanox @NONE_dc when i installed windows 7 beta first time, it was impossible to make my realtek audio work with it at all, all drivers failed to start…

@Zwiebel yes :(
Or use some automatic kernel update scripts.
For me, it’s better if i update kernel/grub manually, than do some automatic update and find system not booting anymore. But most users prefer automatic update, which sometimes may fail on some systems

@VinesNFluff @westyvw but win9x still using dos drivers, so it is dos application. 32 bit dos application running on untouched dos system. Yes, it implements full 32 bit OS

@Breve i prefer spending couple hours to configure (and half-a-day to rebuild packages) to update my home linux system every half-a-year than using windows. And it seems, there is no windows alternative for non-IT-professionals now because every distro is broken. I still may recommend linux mint as windows alternative, but not sure it really will be better that windows because it’s ubuntu based and will catch all ubuntu bugs.
Also, most binary distros build mesa with nouveau enabled, which breaks it. It links lingbm to glappi, which causes dependency hell. Also it adds some slow nouveau call to winsys implementation even if you do not have nvidia, shich causes big slowdown. And linked-in nouveau code in libgallium increases memory footprint This only should be used when you relly use nouveau, but most people replace it with binary blob or not using nvidia at all…

@Breve @_carmin this is because distros use autogenerated grub configs, and using rootfs for grub.
Whan maintaining grub manually on separate or EFI partition, nothing breaks. You only need edit grub config every kernel update. For x11,wayland, etc only solution is some source-based system (gentoo for example) where you decide what to build and what to update. In other cases expect unwanted breakage becauseyou cannot stop binary distro from bringing unwanted changes
