    I can still remember running Windows 3.1 on my Windows 98 Pentium machine (booted into DOS 7.0). The sheer responsiveness… In a blink of an eye the system was ready, apps would open. The last time I felt this kind of responsive speed was running KolibriOS: http://www.kolibrios.org/en/

    I’ve run plenty of low resource OSes/Distros on low-end hardware but… there’s nothing sweeter than running low resource OSes on high end hardware - it feels like the future (the way it was suppose to be).



  • I don’t think there’s a single “main” computer anymore. My home computer is Linux Mint Cinnamon. My mobile computer (which I use nearly as much as my desktop OS) is Android.

    My next smartphone is going to allow installing a privacy-respecting custom ROM (because Linux on mobile really isn’t there yet). Once I do that, I’ll focus on f-droid apps only. Something to look forward to.
