The first version of Ubuntu Linux 4.10, codenamed "Warty Warthog," and it was released on Oct/2004. Ubuntu brought the Linux desktop experience to many developers and IT folks for the first time espcially forlks coming from Win/NT/2000 days. They were an early distro to support ease of installation for proprietary firmware and drivers for network, wifi, and sound/video, and that made them very popular as compared to other distros. They also used to send discs by post. #Linux #Ubuntu #OpenSource

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.

Next-generation brick building sandbox Brickadia is out with Linux / Steam Deck support https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/07/next-generation-brick-building-sandbox-brickadia-is-out-with-linux-steam-deck-support/

For those who don't know the size of the problem:

In 2006 I bought a new [entry level] Computer with 256 MB of RAM and a single-core P4 Celeron with 2,8 GHz.

• This thing ran #WindowsXP and #NeedForSpeedMostWanted just fine.

• Nowadays it would crash trying to open #Slack even on a minimalist #Linux distro like @bunsenlabs even when using @dillo ...

And now imagine that some folks have to use #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, #Telegram, #Signal, #WhatApp, #WeChat, #QQ and #LineMessenger at the same time, and you can imagine that this will make entry-level desktops already scream harder than if someone were to loop the Lost Coast benchmark on them...

• The #bloat of modern #WebApps is just the socially accepted equivalent to #Cryptojacking desktops and driving some phat #SuperUselessVehicle just to get less than a kg of groceries at a walking distance supermarket.

And as it is Friday, my weekly round of `dnf update` and `reboot` on my servers. And a `podman image prune` to clean up stale container images. Weekend can start :)
