05:34 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: I mentioned earlier about my dad's Windows 98 computer.

05:34 IsambardPrince; He's so cheap he never replaces anything that still kind of works.

05:37 IsambardPrince; That computer wouldn't run anything except XP or 98. At the time I helped him revert it back to Windows 98 because XP didn't run some software he wanted to keep.

05:38 IsambardPrince; 98 has no ipv6 support. Theoretically someone could add it.

05:38 IsambardPrince; So the old freeware version of ZoneAlarm still acts as a firewall.

05:38 IsambardPrince; Assuming that's not something you have your router handling.

05:40 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: The Android Runtime didn't last very long in Windows.

05:40 IsambardPrince; You could put F-Droid in it if you wanted to.

06:21 schestowitz[TR2]; countries giving nationality to people who can give them medals

06:22 schestowitz[TR2]; competting in "wrong" category is another

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; maybe they will start amputation body parts

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; to compete in other weight divisions

06:23 schestowitz[TR2]; they already set precedents

09:28 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: The tone on Phoronix every time Linux or ChromeOS gets a bit better is very negative.

09:29 IsambardPrince; There are all these "pro-Windows" trolls that show up and disrupt whatever the conversation is.

09:29 IsambardPrince; And most of what they say isn't even true.

09:30 IsambardPrince; Like, you can get Chromebooks now with 512 SSDs. They're the same ones people on Windows using Steam would use except that ChromeOS doesn't take up over 120 GB of space like Windows does, so you'd have over 100 GB more for games from Steam on the main drive than you would on Windows.

09:31 IsambardPrince; And to get Windows 11 down to 120 GB of space, Microsoft ended up using NTFS compression on a lot of its subfolders.

09:31 IsambardPrince; So it's really a lot worse than that, which explains why all these low end Windows devices barely even work or run anything at all.

09:31 IsambardPrince; It's a slideshow because the operating system is over 15 times larger than anything else people use on this form factor.

09:32 IsambardPrince; And if you remove much of it, it won't be Windows anymore. Some program out there uses whatever it is you'd remove.

09:33 IsambardPrince; So there's nothing that can actually be done to slim Windows down much.

09:33 IsambardPrince; So they make these press releases about deleting Wordpad.

12:06 IsambardPrince; If you need more tell me. I'm tearing into this.

12:06 IsambardPrince; I got GZDoom working.

12:06 IsambardPrince; I decided to move it to the OpenGL option. It defaults to Vulkan which you need to instantiate the VM manager with using a switch.

12:07 IsambardPrince; Firefox browsers need a little tlc on ChromeOS in the Linux environment.

12:08 schestowitz[TR2]; is IsambardPrince on hex?

12:08 IsambardPrince; Using the Debian package is best, using the Wayland support is best, forcing all the Webrender stuff on and vaapi for video decode speeds it up a lot, and for that you need to set the Chrome flag to enable hardware acceleration in Linux.

12:08 IsambardPrince; But it's actually working well now.

12:09 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], On the ChromeOS Flex system, yeah.

12:09 IsambardPrince; It's a Lenovo Yoga 900 ISK2.

12:09 IsambardPrince; Still really REALLY fast with ChromeOS, which is unsurprising, but faster than normal Linux distributions maybe.

12:09 IsambardPrince; Ozone seems to be really smooth.

12:10 IsambardPrince; ChromeOS isn't using X11 or Wayland by default. It has a helper that runs X11/Wayland applications in the Linux VM.

12:13 schestowitz[TR2]; let me ask

12:13 schestowitz[TR2]; i don't know chromeOS well

12:13 schestowitz[TR2]; what happens when a patch is ready

12:13 schestowitz[TR2]; for the OS

12:13 schestowitz[TR2]; does it ask to restart?

12:14 IsambardPrince; Yeah, it'll tell you the system needs to be restarted but it doesn't force the issue.

12:14 schestowitz[TR2]; i guess it comes back ok

12:14 schestowitz[TR2]; unlike windows

12:15 IsambardPrince; I've never had a Chrome OS update that went wrong on the stable channel.

12:16 IsambardPrince; And they'll roll back to the last good version if one went bad.

12:17 IsambardPrince; There's basically no reason to get a new Windows laptop. ChromeOS runs fast even on a decent system from almost 9 years ago.

12:18 IsambardPrince; Even a "clean" copy of Windows without all the OEM junk isn't fast.

21:36 IsambardPrince; They said they had not tested it and were unaware that it did not have Android.

21:36 IsambardPrince; So I told them how to make the built-in VPN support in the OS work with them over OpenVPN.

21:37 IsambardPrince; I sat down and figured it all out.

21:37 IsambardPrince; You have to add their certificate to Chrome and tell it to trust it for signing websites.

21:37 IsambardPrince; That sounds less than ideal but there's no way to add it as a user certificate without a private key that nobody gives you.

21:38 IsambardPrince; So you're sort of back to where you are if you want to use IKEv2 or something in Windows. Adding a certificate to the OS.

21:38 IsambardPrince; Except that ChromeOS internally supports OpenVPN and Wireguard.
