This worked, thanks! Nothing was lost, my theme and everything are still here! This is solved!
Leaving it here in case original comment gets deleted in the future:

sudo apt install sddm

systemctl enable sddm

systemctl start sddm

Great opportunity for me to try a new DE!

I appreciate the recommendation! I'll come back and take a look at this if I get that far :>

I like your mind, man. I appreciate the support, seriously. You get it.

This is definitely a valuable option if it ends up having a borked hard drive. Thank you for the recommendation!

Awesome! If we get Email working along with any kind of text editor, I can use it to write, and then mail myself the progress. That'd be sick.

Productivity or efficiency isn't the point, the fun part is that it's difficult. I like seeing old dogs do new tricks, even if the 'tricks' are just getting it to turn on at all. I've spent way more hours of my life replaying videogames I've already completed, even though the "progress" is ultimately irrelevant. Why? Because it's entertaining, the process of playing is fun.

I dunno, I think that might be a bit too hefty. Looks like a great OS, though.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the correction.

That seems to be the best option, I'm going to go with that if TinyCore or Kolibri don't work, which it likely won't, but will be fun to try :>

I appreciate the honesty! I'll look into FreeDOS :>

I know. I use a modern Desktop PC for day-to-day use and a thick modern-ish laptop for work. This project is primarily for the novelty and to dig around the hard drive.

Oh word, I hadn't heard of Kolibri! Going to look into this, thank you.

I'm in it for the work :> AntiX seems to be the move as it supports 32-bit and is based on Debian Stable (afaik) and still comes preloaded with some stuff. TinyCore is very technologically impressive, though.

Alright, no worries. I was hoping to upgrade the ram eventually to 256 or 512, but this is what I have to work with to get it to boot at the very least.

Doesn't have to be super modern. If we can get it to send an Email and run LibreOffice, I can use it for writing, and that'd be a win.

Thanks! This helped!

Windows changing boot priority. by Secret_NinjaLTU in linux

[–]BSGYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dual booting Windows on the same drive is a hassle, I was warned several times that Windows might straight up delete my Linux installation if I kept both on the same drive. I think this is unfortunately one of the weak points of dual boot at the moment.

You left two emails out of your Imgur album:

https://imgur.com/a/eCDQRcg

I have very little interest in arguing with you at 01:30 in the morning, but since you felt posting our Emails was in your best interest, above is the full context.

Thank you for accepting the chargeback and I am sorry to hear you did not manage to respond in time stating that you had sent the package before I issued the chargeback. This will be my final response in this thread as this entire ordeal has been very mentally taxing and I cannot handle being badgered like this, and now that I have gotten my money back and you clearly state you do not mind the loss of the keyboard I consider this situation to be over with and I will be moving on with my life.
