Is it just me or do you guys miss these type of skeuomorphic icons? in c/[email protected]

Kinda, yeah! These kinda remind me of some of the icon packs I used on my jailbroken iPod Touch!

What can I do with my super old laptop? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

You might be able to find a super lightweight desktop distro out there (I think Damn Small Linux can run on those specs?) or you could repurpose it as a basic server of some sort like you mentioned. Unless you wanted to invest in some cheap old ram to throw in there and maybe make it a bit faster, then I think those would be your best options.

I've been using it on my Fedora laptop for the past week or so and it's really nice, even in alpha 1! Can't wait to see how it turns out fully finished!

I was so happy about this! Been using it on my work MacBook and have been excited to use it on my main laptop!

Windows 10 before I used Linux full-time, though I did try out Windows 11.

From my understanding the OP said it was normal water too.

Finding info about local meetings (lemmy.sdf.org)

Not sure if this is the place to ask, I recently moved to OKC for an internship and was looking into the local 2600 meetings, since I finally live in a city that has them. I found where they meet in the latest issue, but that's about all I know. I don't know any times or days or anything. I've tried looking around on the web, but also haven't found much. Does anyone know how I could go about finding any of that info out?

Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps in c/[email protected]

Imagine being so against people using certain programs on their computer that you straight up deny them software updates.

Is there anything unsavory about ProtonMail? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

My only major complaint is their free-tier is a bit lacking compared to what Skiff had (or I guess has, but not for much longer.) I think their platform is great, and definitely worth paying for, but given I'm a broke college student that's not much of an option. Also their support for third party clients (or lack thereof) isn't great, though I don't use those as much. Otherwise I like it quite a bit!

Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Generally I have when I use Gnome or KDE on Linux, though I have started to prefer MATE, which doesn't have Wayland support yet afaik. I also started using FreeBSD on one of my computers a bit more, and I believe Wayland support is still a bit wonky on that right now. But as soon as Wayland support is there I'm definitely switching to that on the daily.
