You wouldn't have the device you're reading this on without queer folks.

I look forward to seeing how this pans out!

I'd love to see Perifractic and team take ownership of Commodore and do some good with the brand and community.

Fun fact...Metro City is my hometown. :)

@ann3nova So torn! Voted Haggar anyway.

Final Fight: Haggar
Street Fighter Alpha: Guy

Essentially, not Cody. Heh.

@kaidenshi A few thoughts:
- ArcaOS (OS/2 successor)
- AROS (an Amiga successor)
- RedoxOS (b/c rustlang)
- ReactOS (recent new build!)
- HelenOS (very different)
- MenuetOS (different)

My i5-7500 e-waste* desktop has been in heavy OS rotation since I dragged it out of the closet to test Solaris (spoiler alert: wouldn't boot Solaris). So far I've successfully run OpenBSD, Haiku OS, NetBSD, and AlmaLinux Workstation on it. AlmaLinux is nice and all but not really suited to desktop use, it's definitely more of a server OS.

So fellow OS nerds, what should I try to boot on it next? I'd like to try something I can "live in" for the weekend. Anything non-Linux would be awesome, as I already know it runs pretty much any Linux distro with no issues.

*not Win11 supported so it was free

Someone on Reddit got a Switch 2 with QA/Test firmware on it.

A very gay scene of Zalia: a Black fantasy hero dressed in teal, purple and white and wielding a short sword and a buckler, protecting her girlfriend Esme, a white woman with long, flowing red hair and a green-and-blue dress. Esme is swooning lesbianly. They're in a dirt path in a lush green field filled with grass and flowers. Behind them is a quaint medieval village. Further beyond that, there is an ominous-looking castle set against a backdrop of a purple-and-black, stormy sky with lightning.

Zalia stands at the entrance of a fortress made up of greenish teal tiles. She's in a canoe in the water. A waterfall covers the entrance. Beyond the waterfall are an obelisk and two large statues of a horned figure wielding a spear. The sky outside is a brightly-colored sunset sky of blurple, orange, and gold.

Top-down view of the overworld. Zalia is walking through a forest near a river. A swamp lies across the river from her. Only her head pokes out from the trees.

@Vivaldi Opera and Firefox were my defaults back in the day.

Then came the Opera disappointments with the death of Presto, Blink over WebKit, the Qihoo buyout, killing of My Opera… I followed what Tetzchner was doing and looked to Vivaldi to try to claw back some normalcy and found it.

Vivaldi and Firefox remain my goto browsers today.

@kalleboo ※\(^o^)/※ Massive congratulations!! This is so awesome. And one helluva journey.

@alicela1n Apple might not do it, but you could take a look at BetterDisplay (https://betterdisplay.pro/). It has HiDPI scaling options all the way up to native (though 2560x1600 on a 13" display is absolutely crazy).

I've got all of the available options enabled/visible (not the default), and you can set your own favorites. There's also a CLI element to it (https://github.com/waydabber/betterdisplaycli).

The Blood Moon rises once again.

Well, Blood Sun. Still…

(From my sister, this morning at like 6:10. We're back into forest fire season once again.) #Maryland #Fires

Photo taken down the road, trees flanking on both sides, with the sun centered, rising in a blood red color due to forest fire smoke haze.

@ann3nova I love that this exists. No more futzing with user-agent switchers and custom URLs get get it working in a browser!

@ann3nova You're making me wanna get one of these installed again and relive the fun, janky, years of Linux. Might have to get RH5 installed on my PII system. ^_^
