What’s the problem with running an older OSX? https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
I am running 10.6. Chromium Legacy is for 10.7 and above, and the same is true of a lot of software. Meanwhile, on my Linux partition, I can have Firefox Nightly if I want. It’ll run heavily, but it’s possible.
As it happens, I do have a somewhat recent browser installed in OSX, but it’s not great.
Also, running an older OS like that isn’t a good idea, as it won’t have received security patches or microcode updates.
That’s the thing, you can run a 64-bit distro as long as you’ve a 32 bit grub starting it :)
I hadn’t quite considered that somebody had implemented this. Thanks for the info!
There was also another user who gave me a link to some software that modifies mixed-mode ISOs so that they will boot on my potato laptop.
Whoa! Thank you!
I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.
Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don’t like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.
Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!
Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.
What?
Tech support has been my status since I was 12. Honestly, I enjoy being able to explain stuff like this.
Great work! I hope to do the same as soon as I can convince my friends to move to Mastodon or something.
It’s a recurring meme, similar to a rickroll. Literally spend two seconds on any short-form content platform (e.g. YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok) and you will get Hutchersoned.
Then there’s me, reinstalling the OS because it’s quicker than installing the three months’ worth of updates I forgot about.
I really hate these guys. The exam board is petty, the content is hard, and they do bullshit like this.
I don’t know man. Looks like something I’d buy.
I have three:
I’m 17.
I’ll learn an instrument! Of course!
Ha! Yeah, I remember that phase. I was planning to install LXDE as my first distro, simply because I thought the wallpaper looked cool.
