#Nokia #N900 update: It works, but it's slow. Any UI like #Xfce or #MATE is just too much for the little 600 MHz CPU.

So I'm going to make myself comfortable with a terminal environment. Or rather: I will MAKE myself a terminal environment, because unfortunately there is no good preconfigured terminal "desktop" that just works. I'm going to have to edit a lot of config files...

I wish there was some kind of vintage desktop I could use like... I don't know, #KDE 1? Surely that worked with 256 MB of RAM back then. 🤔

Maybe you could have a look at #bananui by @affe_null ?

It is meant to run on featurephones (so not quite sure the #N900 would be a perfect fit),

have a look at https://fosstodon.org/@affe_null@abscue.de/110923326016567326
and
https://git.abscue.de/obp/bananui/shell !

The #bananui toolkit for #FeaturePhones now has some documentation: https://obp.abscue.de/bananui/bananui This is just the very beginning so it's still incomplete. Feel free to report problems and suggest improvements! And if you're interested, try writing an application that uses bananui and tell me how far you get... #LinuxMobile #OpenBananaProject
