Quest'anno il portatile Toshiba che tengo da mia madre compie 20 anni.

Per il mondo dell'nformatica, praticamente è un dinosauro.

Eppure gira ancora decentemente con #linux, precisamente con #q4os, uno dei pochi ad offrire ancora il supporto per i 32 bit (anche se il Toshiba è a 64 bit, ma non so perché quella versione non si carica).

Il sistema mi pace molto, rende le cose il più scattati possibile con il GB di Ram a disposizione, il disco meccanico e il processore centrino duo.

Visto che il desktop manager di default, trinity, somiglia tanto a KDE 3 (che detestavo al tempo) ci ho installato #LXQT, ambiente grafico leggero e moderno.

Il risultato è che le cose girano molto bene per attività di scrittura e ovviamente terminale.

Se gli si chiede di aprire una pagina web, le cose ovviamente rallentano molto ma resta comunque usabile.

Un miracolo!

Q4OS - desktop operating system

En train de débugger une erreur de segmentation de l'une de mes applications sur #linux .

"Oui mais Guillaume, pourquoi ne pas nous le montrer avec une capture d'écran? Hé bien, l'application en question est screengrab, l'outil de capture d'écran sur l'environnement de bureau #lxqt .

Et je dois reconpiler le code... sur un portable avec un processeur Celeron... en branchant mon cellulaire pour les données car on a une panne d'hydro. 😂

Joie? A+!

@cocaine_owlbear I've done a pretty intensive trial of all the above and plenty more besides recently and concluded that if you want a server then #Alpine / #void / #freebsd are all fine choices.

If you need a desktop OS and you don't have time to endlessly futz and fiddle constantly then #Devuan is the best choice with #freebsd a strong contender if you have compatible hardware.

Incidentally there is a Spanish spin of #Devuan called #Vendefoul Linux which adds more desktops and innovates under the hood. I'm using the #Lxqt flavour of #Vendefoul as a daily driver happily.

I *really* wanted to use #void due to superior performance and fairly well populated repos but experienced unsolvable problems with graphics. Together with the minimal documentation and the IRC channel/forum fast to respond but with non solution I ran out of time and had to give up.

* I'm ignoring the current fad to politicise everything: #xlibre solves a problem and I could care less about the devs personal political/spiritual/preferred brand of coffee etc

Lubuntu 25.10: Il ritorno alle origini🕰️⏳

Lubuntu è stata una delle prime distribuzioni Linux che ho provato, e ho dei ricordi bellissimi di come faceva rivivere hardware ormai obsoleto. 👵💻

More monkeying around with OpenBSD. I spent a bunch of time getting LXQt working but the themeing was taking too much time so I threw more ram at the VM and installed KDE. The goal was to learn about OpenBSD, not LXQT. Ha.

Lots of the standard apps are there in OpenBSD but I need to find out how to get Librewolf and Waterfox going. Having done zero research, I'm assuming I need to compile from source.

I saw an article out using "Molly" as an alternate Signal Messenger client (xn--gckvb8fzb.com/if-you-must-use-signal-use-molly/). May try it in the future.

The KDE Plasma version is 6.4.5. IIRC KDE is stopping X11 support so I will need to figure out something else I guess. I've seen threads about Wayland on OpenBSD but didn't go down the rabbit hole yet. What little I read implied not ready for prime time.

The VM feels pretty snappy even though the QEMU agent doesn't really help with video options. This is using the VGA driver setup to get a decent resolution.

I really need to get this Jeep back on the road. I miss it.

C'est un portable?...
C'est une tablette?...

LES DEUX! 😄

Donc voici mon petit dernier, un autre #thinkpad mais de la série Yoga avec écran tactile et stylet manquant 😔 . Pour 100$ usagée et en bonne condition, c'est acceptable.

On parle quand même de quelque chose de plus budget avec un processeur #celeron à quatre coeurs frette sec. Les performance sur #kde étaient acceptables mais avec #lxqt , c'est un peu plus fluide et c'est bien (et la fonction tactile est A1!)

Hey Mike, voici justement un graphique qui pourrait t'intéresser: le cycle des sorties prévus pour Lubuntu. Présentement, la dernière sortie de Lubuntu va supporter #lxqt 2.2 et permettre des compositeurs pour une session #Wayland mais pas la version LTS et c'est cette version que les Distros basés sur Ubuntu vont utiliser car c'est facile pour eux.

Donc sortie LTS un peu avant la moitié de 2026 + le temps que #zorin teste de leur côté... 6 mois de plus mettons? 🤔 😔 A+!
