I’m going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of “deja vu” and the number “4”, I did see djview4. I don’t think that’s what you wanted though.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a PC. I just incrementally upgrade over the years. I would be disappointed if they came out with a PC that only ran with their flavor though.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.

I recently read Kernighan’s UNIX: A History and Memoir. It was pretty interesting. Also, Bell Labs still hosts a page with a lot of links/info for Richie at: https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/

There’s this: https://github.com/lextrack/Simple-Screen-Recorder

Disclaimer: I haven’t touched Windows in at least a decade.

I tried FreeBSD for several months about 15-20 years ago. I really liked how clean the filesystem and environment felt, and have suggested it for many people over the years. In the end I couldn’t get around their license vs GPL.

I edited my config, and it changed the font size next time I opened kitty. I’m not sure what is happening to you, other than maybe having the config file not where it’s expected.

Did you remove the # at the start of the font_size setting?

I’m sure you’ve seen it many times, but I love Bill Hick’s take on marketing.

Become comfortable with the command line. Learn the when and whys of using sudo. If you aren’t willing to do that, you may not want to stick with Linux. It can have a little bit of a learning curve in the beginning (nothing like what it used to be), but you should get more comfortable in a short time.

It’s been some time since I used it on an old laptop, but Puppy Linux was very responsive on shit hardware.

There really isn’t any “hosting” with Syncthing. Everyone sharing the folder is kind of hosting.

It’s also great for sharing files with friends/family. I gave a couple of friends a folder address, and we all just drop shit in there that we want the others to see.
