Quoting: ElectricPrismI can compile the kernel in minuets

Now that would be interesting to see.

'see'? No, hear! A minuet is for the ears; e.g., this one [External Link].

Quoting: Eikebut they're not famous for their narratives, are they...?

Still, worth a look.

They do take the overall context-setting narrative very seriously though. Sure, in each game the story doesn't dictate how the individual puzzles work; but the experience of solving that sort of puzzle makes a lot more sense given the setting (including all the text you have to read (the manuals, the 'zines')), & the minimal plot.

Quoting: rustybroomhandle2.8 is the result of a dedicated effort to improve the usability of the app for both new and veteran users. Now, if only we could get the same treatment for GIMP (along with a name change).

Why a name change though? 'GIMP' is perfectly fine.

Spoiler, click me

I mean, CJ would definitely agree.

In the demo video, examples of everday usage start at around 30 minutes.
I've no idea what this would be like for extended reading & writing sessions; but it does look pretty intriguing.

Quoting: GuestNothing says that better than their python based installer that regularly crashes at the partitioning step with a bunch of exceptions that are surely easier to read for the average user than plain language.

Absolutely. That was one reason I got soured on Ubuntu very early on.

The most important update might well be Python 3.7; stretch was on 3.5, so it missed out on the many important features that got introduced with 3.6.

Also, Buster supports php 7.3, which the latest Nextcloud release (16) requires. I couldn't get the Talk app to work on older Nextcloud versions; so if you're interested in hosting 'your own skype' on Debian, that's also a very significant update.

Quoting: TheSyldatFor their 15 years of operation they get together and spend a week trying to instal Linux on a 486 from source using a stage 1 gentoo :P

That would be a video for AkBKuKu [External Link], though. So far LGR has shown absolutely no interest in (or knowledge of) the unix & free software side of things.
