I wouldn’t call 4K mainstream in 2014 - I feel like it was still high end.

I didn’t have a 4K TV until early 2019 or so when unfortunately, the 1080p Samsung one got damaged during a move. Quite sad - it had very good color despite not having the newest tech, and we’d gotten it second-hand for free. Best of all, it was still a “dumb” TV.

Of course, my definition of mainstream is warped, as we were a bit behind the times - the living room had a CRT until 2012, and I’m almost positive all of the bedroom ones were still CRTs in 2014.

Delightfully 2000s. Maybe replace that icon theme, though. Also not big on any official Ubuntu derivatives, but that’s your choice in the end.

I checked and it already exists in the Fastfatch codebase. Apparently, they event already has a Windows 95 logo.

Less Perfect DOS VGA is what I use in my terminal on my desktop since I use the Chicago95 theme.

OpenTTD Mono is also cool, though. It almost gives Apple Chicago font vibes.

I just find Ladybird being as functional as it is a miracle at all. The rate of progress makes me hope Ladybird will one day give Firefox a run for its money in the OSS browser space, but that might be a pipe dream.

Then again, maybe not.

Completely different, but reminds me of when I created a custom Buildroot for a Pentium II laptop so I had USB support to use dd to take a raw disk image of the harddrive. I did something dumb that stopped the backup midway through, though, and now that laptop is in pieces spread across my bedroom (not from smashing, but trying to find and replace the CMOS battery, which turned out to be proprietary).

If you can recall this long story, I would love to hear it.

I do have OS 9.2 on qemu.

Also, I do use another Grassmunk theme on a few of my machine, Chichago95.

Woah. An interesting setup indeed.

KDE almost became my default when I was installing probably my first bare-metal Linux distro a few years back - Debian Buster, to be precise - on an old laptop. However, something borked with the network manager installation, so when I tried again, I chose XFCE, which worked (probably by coincidence - I probably just did something dumb the first time) and has been my go-to ever since.

From a programming perspective, I definitely like Qt a lot over GTK, though it’s not like I write GUI applications all the time anyhow.
