I’m curious to see what Lemmygrad does in their free time, apart from shitposting on an obscure internet board.
I went out to a park to chill in the shade and read a book / sleep in the grass.
I also spent some time working on my indoor herb garden. My basil started quickly but since a few days, my cilantro has joined the race as well. Unfortunately there are no signs of the spring onions yet, but inshallah they will grow.
I made banana bread with my gf and afterwards we went to a bar.
Today, I will do a workout and follow my cat’s advice of doing absolutely nothing. It’s too hot and with the sun on maximum UV strength, going outside would mean turning into a lobster very quickly.
I installed Gentoo alongside Debian and Windows, took me an entire day 😅
Also I saw on distrowatch that there is an open source OS on development that can run Windows stuff natively (.exe programs and all these things), It’s called ReactOS. I tried installing it on my PC but the USB just wouldn’t boot :(
And this isn’t from my weekend but I discovered that I absolutely love the KDE Classic cursors for some reason. I guess it’s because they are so simple and kinda give retro vibes.
ReactOS has been in the pipeline for a long time I believe. Have they made much breakthroughs recently? Would be legitimately awesome if they got it to be usable, kinda have my doubts about its viability as a true windows alternative though tbh, as awesome as it would be.
I tried to install it in a VM to test it a little, and currently it feels like an old Windows version. Performance is not very good on Virtualbox so I gave up on the VM and tried to test it on real hardware, but as I said earlier I couldn’t boot the USB. Not sure how much progress has been made since this was my first time seeing the OS, but I really hope they succeed.
Gentoo! I am a Gentoo user, too. How do you like it so far?
And don’t worry about your first install taking an entire day, my first install took me two days…
It’s being a good experience so far, though I do have to say that installing stuff in portage is not as straightforward as for example apt, since packages take a while to install and sometimes there is “masked” stuff which takes me a few extra steps to install.
Also googling stuff about Gentoo seems to flood the results with “how to install Gentoo” which is kinda inconvenient, but not really Gentoo’s fault.
Well I’m only saying negative stuff about it but I genuinely am enjoying the experience.
reactOS sort of works, but you’re better off using linux imo.
