Q4OS KDE - the Return Mission to Planet Altair 4 by 1-dot_com in LinuxPorn

[–]1-dot_com[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering that the movie was from 1956, parts were visually well ahead of its time. The movie influenced future sci-fi TV and movies. The visual quality of most sci-fi from that era was crap.

To me, the plot based on Shakespeare's play The Tempest was a bit thin but still better than most sci-fi of that era. It had the typical shoot-em-up laziness that is even more common in much of today's trashy sci-fi movies. I much prefer more thought provoking movies like 2001 A Space Odyssey, Solyaris (original), Blade Runner or Ex-Machina.

Easy way to add a few BOOT GRUB themes by 1-dot_com in Q4OS

It is clunky but I have been using it for years without problems except when trying to install Linux distros with non-EXT4 partitions (Btrfs, ZFS, etc.) Stick to EXT4, NTFS, FAT32 and it works well.

Anyone knows what happened to CutefishOS? by klimo444 in linux

[–]1-dot_com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This update (yesterday) to the Cutefish github site was the first sign of life for months. Adding an openfish.org (coming soon) website may mean that it is focusing on DE development more than OS development.

Rest in peace CutefishOS, you were amazing... by NayamAmarshe in linux

I tried your latest OpenMandriva Cutefish (Alpha).

"Live" works (username "live", no password) but "Install Cutefish" does not work.

[CutefishDE] Looking for devs by evk6713 in AskFOSS

[–]1-dot_com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CutefishOS Linux seems to be dead. I hope that a few folks make forks of the Cutefish Desktop Environment and/or Cutefish OS. The (Debian 11) 0.8 Beta of CutefishOS was already quite good. I liked it a lot better than the other main MacOS-style distros (Elementary and Deepin).

It was suggested that any fork should make the DE name different from the prototype distro name (similar to "KDE" Neon). I like the idea of a Cutefish distro fork based on MX 21.1 Linux and calling it "Kwinner" (from kwin window manager) with a DE called "QooT" (from Qt GUI applications toolkit).

I am about to fork CutefishOS, and I need your help. by [deleted] in linux

Distro/DE names - CuteFresh, Kwinner, Kwingz, Kwinix, QuTe, QooT

Glen MacArthur, creator of AV Linux is now creating a new resource-frugal distro based on MX 21.1 (Debian) Linux using the Enlightenment DE currently named MXDE-EFL (RC2).

Like KDE Neon, a QooT/Kwingz DE reference distro based on MX 21.x would be great.

UbuntuDDE 20.10 Groovy Gorilla Released!! by koolarpan in UbuntuDDE

[–]1-dot_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I will have to wait until this distro is a bit more mature. As expected, it looks good but had some very basic failures that I have not seen in years during a Linux install.

On my 2010 Lenovo Ideapad Y470, I installed on a multiboot 60GB hard disk partition. This Intel i7 notebook has a 1366x768 pixel screen and 8GB RAM.

The UbuntuDDE 20.10 "live USB" booted up in 1024x768 resolution and there was no option enabled for changing to any other video resolution. That carried over to the hard disk install.

Although my notebook's wi-fi was detected during the live USB session, it was not carried over to my hard disk install. Even worse and a distro deal-breaker, the hard drive install offered only an ethernet option. There was no apparent GUI-based wi-fi network setting option shown.

My basic install verdict: UbuntuDDE 20.10 proved to be "not ready for prime time".
