hellfire103 OP , 6 months ago to linux in 32-bit distro suggestions for 2007 MacBook

What’s the problem with running an older OSX? 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!

A-Levels are a British standardised exam, at the same level as the American SATs. However, they are much harder.

An enhancement subject is (AFAIK) a way of getting more UCAS points, which increases your chances of being accepted at some universities.

If I messed up, my representative should return the form in due course.

There are plenty of queer 17-year olds like me here, too!

UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.

EPQ stands for “Extended Project Qualification”, and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

Well, there are two main methods of package management in FreeBSD, which (according to people who seem to know their stuff) should not be mixed.

Packages are pre-compiled binaries, which are installed with either:

• # pkg install <package>

  or

• $ doas pkg install <package>

and can be found at FreshPorts.

Then there are ports. You have to enable this during installation. Essentially, it gives you a directory containing all of the available sources, known as the ports tree. You cd in and run the command, and it pulls in the code, compiles it, and installs. However, due to my ancient processor, I do not use ports and so have no idea what commands to actually run or even where to find the ports tree in the first place.

Remember to check the documentation!

That be a Conky. I’ll give you a copy of my config in a bit, if you like.

EDIT: Here it is: mocha.conf. If you don’t have the font, JetBrains Mono, installed, you will need to edit the file to reflect this.

Thanks!

If you’re after an online dictionary, I personally like Wiktionary.

Especially since WD-40 changed its recipe.

What themes/configs are you using?

hellfire103 , 6 months ago to unixporn in What is your favourite icon pack for KDE?

Honestly, I like Breeze. I just change the colour and it works.

I am also quite a fan of Oxygen and Mint-X; but they look out-of-place on my newer systems, and my older systems have trouble running Plasma.
