I think that design is viable if it’s overhauled a lot. I’d make everything bigger, the color scheme more modern, the text actually visible and put all 3 window controls in one shape (like the title). Though it may not be possible without implementing heavyweight WM components.

I think I’m glad it never released. Just look at those window control buttons.

I HATED it. The other thing besides my IMMEDIATE hatred for it, was the fact that it didn’t work. I couldn’t get the internet, or sound, or bluetooth, or a lot of things working.

If Ubuntu doesn’t work, nothing else will. It means your hardware is unsupported on Linux because of the manufacturer not caring enough to add the support.

And then it took roughly 30 minutes to boot. I googled it, and it should only take 15-20 minutes to install, and boot almost instantly.

I think it’s because your PC has USB 2.0 ports which are like 20x slower than the newer ones. The guides are usually made for beefy new machines that only like 1.5% of people can realistically afford.

The hardware shouldn’t be an issue. Especially since supposedly Zorin 17 only needs 1.5ghz, duel core, and I have 4 core 3.75ghz. Every spec they listed as needed for Zorin I easily have double.

There’s much more to it. As I already mentioned, some certain hardware is not supported on Linux because of missing manufacturer drivers for it.

Also I’m very sorry for the amount of toxic behavior you see in the Linux community. Going to Lemmy will probably make it even worse. Unfortunately it’s just how it is. It has some stuff to do with the demographics of the Linux community but that’s another story.

Nice.

Everyone finds a way that works for them. I personally use bookmarks very rarely and often type stuff manually.

Isn’t it the project that had some shenanigans with changing the code availability model in the past? I still don’t trust such projects.

It’s properly open-source that means objectively better than Floorp and it has a neat plugin/theme system.

A Debian + Xfce (other DEs available) desktop distro with rather outdated looks.

I would think twice before using a service that implements any geoblocking.

Here we’re talking about PCs that can’t officially run Windows 11.

You’ll never notice a difference on your nuclear-power-plant-priced CPU and even on old ones it’s not that big. It’s actual responsiveness that suffers on reasonable hardware.

The performance impact is hilariously terrible though.
