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.

What are some of your favourites you still play thanks to DOSBox?

Civilization 1, and 2 -- the latter on windoze3.11 which runs very well inside dosbox. (It would be so great if these two were on GOG, with the original booklets, etc. I have a jewel case budget release of Civ 2, which comes with a 'tech tree' poster, but I've never owned a legit copy of Civ 1.)

Also Volfied ... I've been playing it for more than 20 years now, and I think I've beaten it *once*.

Quoting: haikuWell 55$ + 10$ for the case + 5$ for the alimentation + 10$ for the SD.. ~roughly 80$

The lowest configuration at ~€75 has no RAM or SSD, though. When you start adding those in, prices start climbing up very quickly.

Also, what's the hardware compatibility situation with these NUCs? At least on the RPi, you can be confident that with Raspbian you won't run into any issues.

Quoting: subSounds good.
Looking forward to it.

Things I'm interested in.

Does it come with Vulkan support? (Proper Vulkan support)
And will it be a viable option to drive GC games via dolphin? :)

In case you didn't know about this youtube channel: https://youtu.be/gPLnXpdcP-A [External Link]
This guy makes emulation review videos for various systems on the RPi (alongside other things). I'm sure there will be videos dedicated to Dolphin.

I have an original Pi which craps out while trying to import some Python modules ... I'm ogling this one so badly.

Quoting: Para-GlidingI would like to try AS:Odyssey (ancient greek <3 : do we meet Thales, Aristoteles or Plato?)

(A somewhat young) Socrates is in the game, alongside a few other spoilerific figures.

I don't have the game; though I've seen bits on youtube. They even went through the trouble of including a short 'Socratic dialogue' betweem the player character and the man himself ... though frankly it's pretty cringeworthy if you're familiar with the Platonic texts. It's a missed opportunity really; they could've done a lighthearted parody.

I just broke my record in NES Tetris, on fceux; new record is an admittedly modest 310174.
