[00:50] IsambardPrince He predicted the Xbox division would fail, shortly after the original console came out. [00:51] IsambardPrince He had an entire blog article about just how poorly designed and clunky it was. [00:52] itech new cboc are prety slick [00:52] itech i never used one [00:52] IsambardPrince I didn't like the original Xbox, but I had one. [00:52] IsambardPrince I also had a Sega Dreamcast. [00:52] IsambardPrince In retrospect, I believe the Dreamcast and 3dfx would have both done better under the partnership. [00:52] itech i never had a console [00:52] IsambardPrince And Sega should have kept Windows CE off the console. [00:53] IsambardPrince It added cost and you always knew a game was using Windows CE not Katana OS because even without looking for the Windows CE logo, they just looked and played like shit. [00:53] IsambardPrince Windows CE was a very limited OS and the APIs were not advanced enough to take advantage of the hardware. [00:54] itech the new xbox are all tideup with drm and sh*t that cant be jailbreaked and they wonder why its not selling!!! [00:54] IsambardPrince It had a partial port of DirectX, but it was very stripped down. [00:54] IsambardPrince Yeah, I had a variant of Debian that ran on my Xbox. [00:54] IsambardPrince It was a major reason why I bought one. [00:54] IsambardPrince For $149 I got a PC that could run Linux. [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] IsambardPrince That was almost unheard of back then to get a PC that was at least good enough to boot up as a graphical Linux workstation for such a low price. [00:55] IsambardPrince You would go to Walmart and pay almost $900 for a computer like that. [00:55] IsambardPrince Just the tower. [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@bl18-27-126.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights [00:56] IsambardPrince So it was a very good bargain at $149 because Microsoft was leaning into the subsidies. Very subsidized. [00:56] IsambardPrince It output to a standard television set. [00:56] IsambardPrince That was not the first computer I had that did that.

[00:58] IsambardPrince It finally died in 2016. [00:58] IsambardPrince Just as well. [00:58] *FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [00:58] IsambardPrince By that time you couldn't do much with a Mobile Sempron 3000 and 1 GB of RAM. [00:59] IsambardPrince Crunchbang had already been abandoned for a little while anyway I think. [00:59] IsambardPrince And I responded by just not updating the OS itself. [00:59] *FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [00:59] IsambardPrince I compiled a couple of things so I'd have a current browser and some other stuff. ● Jul 01 [01:00] IsambardPrince Parts of the system were abandoned, parts were getting small updates from the underlying Debian repositories. [01:00] IsambardPrince So it was semi-abandoned. It didn't just stop working though. [01:01] IsambardPrince Openbox didn't overwhelm that laptop.

[01:02] IsambardPrince I tried Openbox and Xfwm4 side by side. [01:02] IsambardPrince I think Openbox was using 1 MiB of RAM and Xfwm4 was using 12. [01:02] IsambardPrince So I just kept Openbox as the window manager. [01:02] *itech has quit (connection closed) [01:02] IsambardPrince I'd like to see any Wayland compositor using 1 MiB of RAM. [01:02] IsambardPrince I don't think it can even be done. [01:03] *itech (~itech@thn62aj5tmfdn.irc) has joined #techrights [01:03] IsambardPrince GNOME is just horrid. It's really not cleanly separated anymore, but Mutter has the shell plugged into it. So there's a lot of code there where if a bug causes something to crash, you lose the entire thing. [01:03] IsambardPrince The entire session. [01:03] IsambardPrince And you got that whether it was on X11 or Wayland. [01:04] IsambardPrince It has a lot of memory leaks. [01:04] IsambardPrince They don't acknowledge that. [01:04] IsambardPrince If you report the leaks, they deny they exist and insult you. [01:04] IsambardPrince I've had something happen where the Linux container exploded on my Chromebook. [01:05] IsambardPrince Took out everything that was currently going on in Linux. [01:05] itech GNOME devs are GUI terrorists [01:05] IsambardPrince But it didn't affect the host. [01:05] IsambardPrince Software should be modular in the sense that a failure in one component doesn't spread. [01:05] itech i bet they work for MS during day time [01:06] itech or maybe apple [01:06] IsambardPrince Many X11 window managers are written so there's as little as possible happening in the wm. [01:06] IsambardPrince So that it's very easy to figure out what's a bug in the wm and fix that. [01:07] itech ICEwm is better then GNOME [01:07] itech its just like windows95 [01:07] itech but better [01:07] IsambardPrince Yeah, those small window managers are boring. [01:08] IsambardPrince anything they did that was horrible or obviously wrong got ironed out years ago [01:09] itech icewm-3.8.0.tar.lz 1.8 mb [01:09] itech The latest released version is 3.8.0 (2025-06-22). [01:10] IsambardPrince Yeah, but they don't tend to move around a lot. [01:10] IsambardPrince Build fixes, small bugs. Code cleanups. A feature here or there. [01:10] itech no reason the fix perfection [01:11] MinceR i like boring window managers that don't do anything horrible or obviously wrong [01:12] MinceR i know it's not "modern", but i don't care [01:16] itech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers [01:16] TR Bot Comparison of X window managers - Wikipedia [01:17] itech for some reason i tend to like WM writen in c++ [01:18] itech just found out [01:20] MinceR there's one written in C that i like [01:21] itech Openbox?
