That’s actually a fairly solid guide/list.
I’ve been running Mint MATE since 2017, good solid OS in my book 👍
Advice: Try to stick with LTS distros (Long Term Support).

3·1 month agoThey were all 3 given to me, one originally intact and 2 more as scrap parts. I would have never bought them myself. Hell, it’s so low on my priorities list, I haven’t even bothered trying to fix one in the past 6 months or more.
Also, I never said I flew in any area that would put anyone in any sort of danger, nor do I ever intend to. I study ergonomic controllers and might rearrange the controls to be more intuitive, in an open public park, so what?
I’d appreciate if you didn’t try to imply some nefarious activity without some sort of evidence. But fuck China, they don’t need my goddamn GPS coordinates!
Bleh, I’ve only ever flown a drone a few days at a time out at our city park. Then I criticize their controls and rewire the controller to be more intuitive, which lets me fly it fairly easily even in 30mph winds, but always seems to burn one of the motors up within 3 days.
I ain’t flying the things to spy on anyone, I’m just trying to improve their controls.
You missed my point. I have an older version that never required location services to begin with.
What they describe there is a new version that still requires location services, but has relaxed the rules to only give a passive warning in prohibited areas.
Fuckall with that, I keep the version that doesn’t require location permissions at all.
That’s why I still keep an older version of the drone app that doesn’t need location privileges, on a phone that doesn’t have location services enabled, and doesn’t even have a SIM card.
1·1 month agoHuh, interesting. I only ever had the IBM drive that was given to me by an old friend, guess I lucked out on that.
When I bust out the floppy drive, I’m usually tinkering with my custom MS-DOS/Micro Windows 3.11 dual floppy build I call WinFlop. The Windows disk is bootable by itself, but if booted from the MS-DOS Diagnostic disk first, that has all the fun storage drivers for CD-ROM, USB and even NTFS (yes, NTFS4DOS even works in Windows 3.11 haha!)

But the last disk image I wrote to floppy was for KolibriOS, and I gotta say, that’s an absolutely amazing project! If you get some free time, I think you’ll appreciate trying it out as well…

If it counts for anything, my old Dell B130 has absolutely no problems booting from a USB floppy drive (IBM model USB floppy drive), not even any issues swapping disks.

Down for me as well ☹️
I haven’t tried all that many distros, but I’d say Puppy Linux. Pretty neat that it loads into RAM from USB and has fairly light memory requirements, but it does feel a little on the clunky side as far as configuration and stuff goes.
Not sure what all happened there, but…
FAT ≠ NTFS
Not for me, but then again I have residual nerve damage in my pinky fingers from a case of meningitis back in 2004.
However, I do still use my left pinky for the left shift key, and my right pinky for the enter key. At least those keys are big enough that the mild numbness doesn’t cause me to miss those keys.
I do not have an answer for you, but if I may ask…
Why?
Whether factual or not, that’s still the direction Canonical is heading.
Have you not caught the recent news that Ubuntu is now plastering adverts on the desktop if you haven’t paid for it?
Please kindly fuck off.
Wanna hear a scary command I’ve used before?
sudo aptitude reinstall '~i'Not for the faint of heart, nor meant for a fresh install, but that literally reinstalls every single registered package in Debian based distro.
Edit: If you ever dare use that command, you better make 2 pots of coffee and roll 3 joints, cuz it’ll take a good while…
Wait, you can search keywords on Lemmy?
I dunno, I mostly use Jerboa on Android, as far as I know Jerboa can only search for communities, unless I missed something or perhaps need to update Jerboa.
