I thought it was just the Qt theme, but I could be wrong.
I'll give it a go! Is there a GTK theme that goes well with it?
- Proprietary
- Based on Chromium
- Requires an account to use
Instant nope from me!
- Distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed
- Machine: Acer Aspire 5742z
- Desktop: KDE Plasma 5
- GTK Theme: Breeze
- Qt Theme: Oxygen
- Plasma Theme: Oxygen
- Colour Scheme: Breeze Dark
- Icons: Oxygen
- Fetch: Hyfetch
Linux phones are cool, but not ready for general use yet... unless that's changed recently, in which case I'll look into buying a PinePhone.
On desktop, I use Debian and FreeBSD.
Yeah, I've talked it over with a friend and (of all people) the school librarian. Here's my plan:
- Wait a week and see if the T400 (hostname
Amethyst) fixes itself, which is how I managed to resurrect my Acer (hostnameLapisLazuli) last year. - Transplant the RAM and SSD into
LapisLazuli, which should be compatible and will receive a massive performance boost from it. - Once I have enough saved up, buy an old ThinkPad to replace it. This will become
Amethyst-II, and could be obtained second-hand from my institution.
You'll be able to sideload. The mandate includes the EEA (which includes Switzerland), as well as the EU.
We had some heavy rain yesterday and my bag (containing my T400) got soaked. I tried to turn it on just now, and it appeared to boot at first.
I entered my geli(8) password and FreeBSD began to load, then the screen and status LEDs began to flicker rapidly. I tried holding the power button, but for the first time it didn't do anything, so I removed the battery.
When I turned it back on again, it didn't even show the ThinkPad boot screen; it just sat there flickering.
I have opened the case up and looked inside. I hve checked the RAM, the CPU, the SSD: even the DVD drive; and everything seems fine, yet the problem still persists.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it? Or is my laptop now borked? Thanks!
Thanks! The last one won't work, since it'll be all MicroG'ed, but those are still some great counterarguments.
So, I'm 17 and my Dad is an Apple fanboy. He started using Macs back in the '90s, and he's always been using their stuff. Over the years, he's managed to get my mum and her parents to ditch Android, and his parents to move on from their RAZRs. Now that everyone has iPhones, I have no hand-me-down routes. I have asked to get an Android, using my own money that I earned, but he always brings up the same arguments:
"Androids are inherently less secure than iPhones"
"We all use iPhones"
"Apple's proprietary ecosystem just works"
"I had an Android once. Once."
"Are you just trying to stop the Find My tracking? What if I need to find you?"
That last one could easily be misinterpreted. It's an emergency thing; he's not spying or anything. Don't worry.
I have an old Android in a drawer somewhere, but it's running 4.4, it isn't supported by any ROMs, and the battery barely lasts half an hour, so there's no point in trying to get it to work.
I'll also be going to university this year, so I should be able to get a cheap Pixel on eBay and flash GrapheneOS onto it soon enough.
I don't want an iPhone, and it's a long story as to why I'm stuck with one.
And Putinism. It was, after all, the TLD for the Soviet Union.
I use ProtonVPN 24/7, and it hasn't changed anything. It's a firmware thing, I think.

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which I have been using since 2022. Today, I was sitting on the bus when some random person connected to them and started playing Free Bird.
It was a bit funny, but I don't want this to become a regular thing. Is there a way of locking the headphones to certain Bluetooth addresses? Or a way of making it not show up automatically on phones (similar to a hidden WiFi network)?
The headphones in question are the JBL Tune 510, which have a USB-C port. However, I don't know if this can be used to flash firmware.
If there's already a comment telling me to "just use wired" or something, please don't tell me again. It's the best solution, but my phone doesn't have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple).
Thanks!

Colombia’s current president, Gustavo Petro, is pushing for a new global approach to drug addiction and use.
I have a MacBook (specifically a MacBook2,1 A1181) from 2007. I am currently dual-booting Mac OS X 10.6 and crunchbang++ 12 on it, but I feel that there could be something better. Here are the specs:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 (2) @ 2.167 GHz
- Architecture: x86_64-v1 (but with 32-bit BIOS, so 64-bit Linux won't work)
- Microarchitecture: Merom
- GPU: Intel GMA 950
- RAM: 3 GB
- Disk: 140 GB HDD
This is not supposed to be a daily driver by any stretch. I have newer and more powerful machines than this, but I would still like to have something on it that means I can use it if need be.
As well as crunchbang++, I have also run Debian, Devuan, SparkyLinux, GNU Guix, Puppy Linux, Slackware, and Haiku in the past. I have tried to install several flavours of BSD, but it was too difficult to get dual-booting to work properly.
Despite the CPU being 64-bit, the distro MUST be 32-bit. This is because of the MacBook's BIOS, which prevents 64-bit bootloaders from working.
Not that it matters, as I can do this after installation, but I would be looking to run something like Enlightenment, Trinity, or spectrwm. I tried going CLI-only with Guix, but it wasn't the best experience.
Feel free to also recommend software that will run on a potato like this.
Thanks!
EDIT: Two users have told me how to get 64-bit Linux running on this machine. Debian apparently ships with 32-bit GRUB on the ISO, and there's a CLI tool to patch ISOs to make them work.

I'm going to be doing a clean install of Arch Linux on an old ThinkPad tomorrow morning, and I'd like some suggestions for a window manager, desktop environment, or Wayland compositor.
It can have a learning curve, but I would like it to not have too steep a learning curve (I have been using i3 for a while, and I have just come from LeftWM which I configured to have i3 keybinds). Also, in order to make it fairly obvious to my peers that I'm using Linux, I'd like it to look nothing like Windows or macOS.
Preferably something light (at least out of the box). When I was using LeftWM, my RAM usage was often around 200MB. I recently did a system analysis and I have 8GB of RAM, but my CPU will hold me back. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo of the Penryn microarchitecture (x86_64-v1).
Any suggestions?
These speeds would have been considered pitiful in 1994, never mind 2024.
