for an ever-increasing number of planetary humans, their smartphone is their only electric/electronic communications device.
this is especially true for the age ranges from 0 to 40 and for a significant portion of the homeless of any/all age(s).
the insiders used twitter, facebook, and instagram to further divide and conquer the left, the right, and everyone else.

the image at the end of that webpage is interesting.
referencing a sign in that background image "we really shouldn't open the sarcophagus until we've completed all the side quests"
we return you now to your regularly scheduled programming
as always, ymmv.

Jim Ward - 2025-08-13
New to PeppermintOS but not Linux. (Besides, I got my start on an OS360 system back in the day -- huge system with [gasp] 200K magnetic core RAM!!) I started my personal (not work) Linux journey with Mint, moved on to MX and stayed there for years (still use it). But being of a curious mind, I wanted to try other distros to find the right stuff for my aging laptop with its overheating issues. Was looking for lightness and coolness. I've tried AntiX, Sparky Linux, Q4OS (really nice, BTW!), Bunsen Labs, Artix, Linux Lite (not!), Bodhi, Solus, PCLinuxOS, AnduinOS, CachyOS, FunOS (not so much), Devuan, TinyCore, Puppy, maybe some others, but finally, Peppermint OS. It's got the best balance of lightness and usability and aesthetics of all the distros I've tried. I like OpenRC -- kind of a non-systemd thing but enough systemd-like functionality that's much improved on SysVinit, IMHO.
Unless some major upheaval occurs, I'm here to stay!

Anti-bot software in place
#1 Post by donald » 2025-10-27 00:44
Hello Everyone,We are attempting to up the ante in our battle with the botnets, expansive AI crawlers and scrapers which tend to slow the forum down to unreasonable connections (I.E. Members and Guests cannot even see the forum).
Guest Views:
Last week we took the step of limiting guest views which did slow down hits on the attack surface, unfortunately this requires complete viewing of threads limited to registered members or new members.Bot Protection:
This week we are trying out Anubis which is an open source web firewall that uses cookies and a combination of heuristics to weigh a valid user connection versus a crawler or bot. This adds another step to the viewing of the forum but not to the logon progress. There are 2 versions of the software, we are trying version I this week and the next week with refinements the other versionThe software will run for a few days.
Notes:
If you are having login issues, allow the forums to set a cookie in your browser as an exception.Feedback:
We will look at the logs to see if this additional step is obstructing members, if you are able to get past the system as a human, a 'hello' in this thread will provide valuable feedback.Thank you,
Donald
haven't researched this yet but there might be a non-javascript-required version?

searched DDG-Lite for "apt modernize-sources"(without the quotation marks) and this was one of the offerings on the first page of results:

what happens when you use a liveusb?
this was one of the results from searching DDG-Lite for "grub only the top half of the screen is active"(no quotations)
keep us posted on your progress!

mostly for future thread visitors, links for your consideration and convenience:
wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint_OS
circa 2010, Mark Greaves(rip):
https://peppermintos.com/2010/05/we-are-different-we-offer-freedom/
https://peppermintos.com/2024/07/weve-partnered-with-foss-torrents/
fyi: included the below link and the above link mostly because the fosstorrents main webpage is cool, eye-candy, and a virtual cornucopia. enjoy with moderation as always!
https://fosstorrents.com/
download information:
https://peppermintos.com/download-and-install/
cautionary note: the above download webpage has direct links to immediate downloads(which you may/may-not be comfortable with, ymmv) so here is their sourceforge page without the automatic stuff. furthermore, what happens when one of these/those automatic downloads overflows and crashes the users hard-drive/machine/etc!?!
https://sourceforge.net/projects/peppermintos/files/isos/XFCE/
see also the screenshots and comments(especially Himanshu near the bottom/end of webpage):
https://peppermintos.com/screenshots/
epilogue: it is quite fitting that i have stumbled across this thread at this moment in time. i have currently been working with an octogenarian widow who desperately wants to be rid of the insanity of microsoft windows(and also smart televisions as well...but that is a totally different adventure/saga/story...oh, and don't forget the crazy voip phone, ugh). her current predicament is not for the faint-hearted or physically-feebled indeed. anywho, not quite the same situation as the screenshot webpage commenter mentioned above(Himanshu).
thank you for your precious time, dear reader/visitor.
edited to add: kicking the fosstorrent weeds and saw that they even have tribblix! outstanding!

#19 Re: Off-topic » What is the devuan opinion about using elogind? » 2025-10-16 16:16:51
did a forum search for the word 'elogind' in the title/topic
(Index » Search » Topics with posts containing 'elogind')
and with this thread there are 26 threads with elogind in their title/topic
there are probably quite a few ideas, opinions, and thoughts in there somewhere
as always and everywhere, your mileage may vary.

individually asked my ex, daughter, grand-daughter, and great-grand-daughter similar ideas/thoughts...
all replied simply "there's an app for that"
smh(_shaking_my_head_)
furthermore, there are an ever increasing number of mostly younger human planetary inhabitants who see the only viable hope for "saving" the planet is to euthanize all the "excess load"...which is to say that the first to go will be all the older and/or infirm.
most won't admit it in public since it is still mostly "forbidden" talk, but privately they are just waiting for the "leaders" i.e. politicians to push it and they will vote for it.
all things must come to an end.

i try to read all the new posts in an attempt to continue my education
and so i did a search and figured i might as well include it here for the future addicted autodidacts
https://start.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=excalibur+kde+sddm+qemu+vm
also since i did it...
https://start.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q="sddm"
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-customize-the-sddm-display-manager-on-linux
another intriguing thought occurred regarding vt handoffs since just yesterday i was reviewing grub entries on a dual boot machine with windows eleven and xubuntu 24.04.3 and saw something similar(that i don't believe i had ever witnessed before iirc)...anywho, enjoy!
more since i just experienced it(again, ha!)...
i get significantly different search results by using/not-using quotation-marks(double quote marks actually as seen above with "sddm") as well as searching with/without browser add-ons such as noscript, privacy badger, ublock origin, etc. activated(just thought i would add that as it seems to be relevant to the encouragement of others regarding current-day internet searches/searching/etc), as always - ymmv.
