Finally, my next step into psuedo-time-traveling to the 2000’s. The taste of freedom is sweet!

It’s hella foss!

Do you ever miss something you’ve never had?

Looks like an analog horror version of GIMP and I love it. It has that early 3D modeling program vibes, while not fully being 32-bit colors just yet.

Windows 10. It was during the pandemic (late 2020), and I saw a Mutahar video of his desktop (at the time, I did not know of KDE Plasma, just gnome, unity and cinnamon) and I was like “Whoa, his desktop looks so much better than when I remember using linux. I should install Arch because that is what he used to get that desktop.”

I have used linux before on Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu, so installing arch using a youtube tutorial was not going to be that hard. Although it did take 2 days (Mostly procrastination and fear).

I will say this: I have a 98 computer and an XP computer for me to use, and I found those UIs better than in Windows 10. When I switched to linux with KDE Plasma, the oldschool UIs could not compete. Plasma is just THAT good.

I was also madly in love, with me calling KDE Plasma like being in a dream, and using Windows 10 is like waking up to the cold old stale office life.

What great timing too, with Proton kicking off right at the same time too, eventually me removing the need to dual boot.

TL;DR: I switched because I found out about KDE Plasma, and linux gaming was becoming infinitly better.

That click bait title makes it seem like the Internet Archive itself will come crumbling down. Now that I skimmed read the article, it just seems like they are going to lose the court battle for this case. Maybe some other stuff, but I get to keep my MS-DOS abandonware downloads.

I have started to use openSUSE since last night for my old Microsoft surface. It is nice not having a distro where I don’t have to say “I use Arch BTW” every time I mention what distro I use. Still my daily driver distro tho.

And paru

They are installed by default with KDE Plasma. Although, on the taskbar, you can just get them in the KDE Plasma widget store.

Well, mine looks like Windows XP, but not.
