  • A New Machine Begins -- It's Alive!

    From Farley Flud@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 27 17:05:14 2024
    My power supply was delivered today. The vid card will
    be at least 2 weeks until shipment.

    But I couldn't fucking wait. I swapped a vid card from
    another machine then switched on the power.

    It's alive!

    After some BIOS tweaking I booted with the Gentoo Live USB.
    Right now I'm in that stupid KDE desktop. What junk!

    I need to use Gentoo to get the CPU parameters, especially
    the cache sizes, so that I can cross compile a complete
    system from scratch.

    There will be no generic distro on this mighty machine!

    You should try FVWM3:

    https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3

    I absolutely could not live without this WM. It is, and
    always has been, the greatest.

    Unfortunately, the future of FVWM3, as well as other
    WMs, will be threatened if the GNU/Linux universe succumbs
    to Wayland.

    I will NEVER accept Wayland. I will either freeze or move
    to FreeBSD.
