Started with XFCE but migrated away due to bugginess with my outdated system. Next was KDE. I was pleasantly surprised by how lightweight it ended up being after hearing otherwise. Now I’m on Sway, and it makes this old computer scream!
I have absolutely jammed to the original Unreal Tournament (UT’99) soundtrack on my commute.
Try the AutoFill keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-L (or Cmd-Shift-L on Mac). Works well enough for me.
RIP. Sorry to be so negative, but the system is rigged in Sony’s favor.
Ooh, I just did this! Mid 2010 white MacBook, Core 2 Duo P8600, 2GB, spinning rust HDD.
*Strongly recommend switching to SSD. I also added an 8GB stick (so 9GB total, hah) but my hunch is that even the SSD alone would have made this machine much more enjoyable.
I ultimately decided on MX Linux, although with systemd as init so that logind could handle lid and power button events. The default power manager (XFCE?) would result in a black screen upon resuming otherwise. MX Linux also worked the best for me in terms of optimizing for battery life.
PeppermintOS was my second place but also had the black-screen on resume.
I also tried various flavors of Mint but felt that Peppermint and MX were ever-so-slightly leaner in terms of features I actually use and battery life.
Avoid Void Linux. On my system the trackpad only worked in one direction.
I was not able to get the nVidia card to work with proprietary drivers. It’s so old that it requires legacy drivers (340) and I just ran out of patience. Nouveau or bust.
I am currently using it for casual web browsing and YouTube. It handles YouTube pretty well although I’m still searching for a native frontend that allows me to login to my YouTube account so I get all my subscriptions and stuff.

Looks delicious!
Devil’s advocate: if a delayed message is put far up the conversation history, it may not be seen when it finally goes through? Although notifications could mitigate that to some extent.
Amazon won’t care because nobody will hold Amazon accountable.
US, mid 30s, and nope. (I learned on a friend’s car but didn’t spend enough time for the muscle memory to build in, even way back then)
They definitely have more patience than me! I started with the SNES FFs and briefly tried the FF3 3D remaster. Not sure I could go back to 1 and 2!
Yep. More of the restrictions of Apple but with less of the QA.
Such low, sad tactics. I’ve just converted an old MacBook to Linux. It’ll be good to not have to deal with these shenanigans.
Weather apps.

All of society is built upon the foundation laid by others. As long as you’re not misleading people into thinking you created something you didn’t, I don’t see any problem.
