We had these old ass everex (I think that was the brand) 386's that had an one line 8 character display on the front that would display what drive was being accessed and what sector/track it was on. It was pretty useless, until we found the memory address that held the buffer (80h if I remember correctly. We were dumb so we wrote a TSR in turbo pascal that are random times would scroll something like "this computer is about to blow up in 5...4...3...2...1...BOOM!".

I don't think anyone really cared as it was the secondary computer lab used by the programming club mainly, but we thought we were really bad ass.

You can't do this on Linux anymore either. Unless you are on a way out of date system, you need to add the --no-preserce-root flag as well. And I think it still prompts you to make sure it is really want you want to do.

For one tracker anyway...

Hyprland is a tiling compositor for wayland, so you use hotkeys to manage windows. It is akin to i3wm (or bspwm or awesomewm, etc) but for Wayland instead of xwindows. https://hyprland.org/

Nothing is wrong if that is your preferred method. Period end of story.

"lost"

The end of the world seems to be coming sooner and sooner ad that means I won't have to work for 30 more years when I retire.

It's very nice looking. You should look at Garuda tho, it's default kde theme is very similar imo

One of the best I have ever played which falls into adventure, puzzle, RPG, strategy , and open world is probably star control 2, the urquan masters. It has an amazingly well crafted story, the music is great, and a bunch of different aspects to the game play. This still is one of my favorite games of all time

Garuda linux has been my goto on my personal computer and laptop for about 3 years now, basically since it was released on my work machine i use windows unfortunatly.

on my two little media servers, i run arch inside proxmox continers.

Not music persay but I have been listening to a lot of the "salute the sample" segments by ll cool j on YouTube. Its a pretty cool dive into the samples that drive hip-hop.

If you eat enough you will eventually develop gold plated poo 4-12 hours later, and I think that is something!

Star control 2 was the absolute best imo
