I get the idea, of course, but we are not talking about any Win based email client.
This is Richard Harris' Pegasus Mail.

?

Both Pegasus Mail and Mercury require Windows 7 or later,

WINE quite literally "is not an emulator" - it runs the machine code contained in the EXE file directly on your CPU. This means that a malicious EXE file could absolutely make syscalls to the Linux kernel, just as every normal Linux program can. Do not rely on Wine to magically protect you from malware. –

WINE itself takes up about the same amount of memory as the Linux Thunderbird email client.

About the trash of former days. smile

For comparison, after a thorough installation on Daedalus, nothing was launched except w32-480.exe (Pegasus Mail).   Wine closed after screenshot without installing Pegasus Mail.

P.S. I don’t care, the computer is not mine, but I wouldn’t use the Win mail client under Linux for any reason.

Yeah. Thank you, I'm behind the times. smile

#105 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Chimaera to Daedalus upgrade broke WINE » 2024-05-25 06:17:20

I'll post a screenshot for clarity. This is Daedalus, wine with default settings, everything works on behalf of the user. I think you need to delete the /home/xxx/.wine folder with the old garbage.
When you start wine again, it will create a new one, with all the new changes (replacing su with su-, for example).

#106 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-05-24 17:14:09

I don’t know how true this is; on one of the forums there was an assumption that YouTube is the property of Google and it’s a matter of codecs. Monopolists... smile

#107 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Devuan est à la traîne (google: Devuan is lagging behind) ! » 2024-05-24 08:55:18

In my case, I always base my installs on Refracta, which is a well-done Devuan respin by the same guy you're butthurt over.

God forbid! smile
I had the “pleasure” to try this set of programs for the sake of experience.
Shutting down the computer only through the root terminal, and after su, the regular user’s programs stopped running altogether.
Such crafts are only for punishment. smile

#108 Re: Off-topic » Firefox is becoming too chrome like. » 2024-05-24 05:55:18

@zapper
Yes, what sarcasm, more like regret.
Non-stop video in Chrome OS Flex 720p, in Linux without systems - 480p.
The netbook is weak, the difference is clearly noticeable.
Maybe my conclusions are wrong, just check if you want, everything is in the public domain. 
I ended up installing PclinuxOs.

P.S. Devuan is no worse in performance, it’s just that when controlling via a wireless mouse, having a GUI to configure the system is more convenient for me.

#109 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Devuan est à la traîne (google: Devuan is lagging behind) ! » 2024-05-23 12:35:42

...Mullvad should be mentioned here as an example..

Just recently I came across... a colleague asked a question on one of the forums: “Do you completely trust your VPN provider? Don’t delude yourself with illusions...”

But the essence of the topic is different - a person uses a tool, appropriated its name and throws mud at the author, the Devuan team and the community at the same time.

Then again, modern firefox is becoming too chrome like, so maybe.

In my opinion, this is quite natural.

Google really cares about performance, and is not involved in shuffling directories, moving programs to another location, changing the familiar interface, etc. passing it off as a great achievement, examples of which we see in the Linux community.

A week ago I tried to use my Lenovo S205 laptop as a smart set-top box for my TV. Among others, I installed Chrome OS Flex (by default it created 12 partitions on the hard drive smile).

So, its speed and video resolution are one step ahead of all Linux. Alas!

#111 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Synaptic and sources list » 2024-05-21 07:44:26

Hi!
1.The files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d are a list of repositories, not programs. Therefore, the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/midori.list file should simply be deleted.
2. midori is not in the Debian 12 repository, so it cannot be installed using Synaptic.
3. Purely subjective, based on experience with a netbook with an AMD E 300 processor, with a single-core N455, if I understand correctly, it will turn out to be a “typewriter” at best. smile

Regards.

P.S. For weak computers there is a bionicpup distribution kit, you can try it directly from a flash drive.

#114 Re: Devuan » this morning... » 2024-04-06 05:02:54

Having to use wine is not the best solution,..

I completely agree!
For such professional programs, I have Win installed on a separate disk.

Microcap was once taught to students and there was an online course on its learning and application.

But it all depends on the task at hand. Perhaps the simulators available in Linux distributions will suit the topicstarter quite well.

#115 Re: Devuan » this morning... » 2024-04-05 16:10:26

DIY Layout Creator

Yes, for simple low frequency circuits.
Creating a PCB is not an entirely simple task, here is an example of instructions for this. There are many more similar ones for specific tasks (pdf ~320 Kb).
https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/szza009

And the best simulator is probably microcap, but it’s under Win.

#116 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Excalibur + TDE ISO for testing » 2024-04-04 03:54:25

- added "zim"

Bad idea.
Why install a full-fledged DE, and then add programs built on another graphics library?

Package: zim (0.75.2-1)
dep: gir1.2-gtk-3.0
    GTK graphical user interface library -- gir bindings

#117 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Nala, a new cli package manager replacement for dpkg and apt » 2024-04-03 09:32:05

Not a package manager, but sometimes useful.
The mc file manager can install the package and view its contents.

#118 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Nala, a new cli package manager replacement for dpkg and apt » 2024-04-01 17:27:38

Regarding downloading 3 packages at once instead of one.

According to my observations, the download speed (approx. 2Mbit/sec  from
https://devuan.rosset.eu.org/devuan-files/  , for example   ) is limited by the server.

My Internet speed according to speedtest (fiber optic-router-WiFi) is 25...30 Mbit/sec. Therefore, whether there is one or three at once, there is no difference.

Synaptic and apt are quite satisfactory.
And TDE KPackage for variety sometimes.

#119 Re: Installation » Daedalus desktop live: Cannot load memtest » 2024-03-31 07:36:32

FWIW: current debian-live iso does not have memtest. Maybe they're as confused as I am.

The list goes on, PclinuxOs, OpenSuse 15.5...

#120 Re: Installation » Daedalus desktop live: Cannot load memtest » 2024-03-30 05:56:56

Perhaps my question should be moved to the offtopic section.
Maybe other colleagues will express their opinions.

I have no doubt about the usefulness of this tool. It has long been included in installation media. But today the situation is different from 25 years ago.

#121 Re: Installation » Daedalus desktop live: Cannot load memtest » 2024-03-30 05:32:19

Let me ask, if I may, is memtest even needed in live builds?
I already forgot when I used it, the reliability of the memory modules allows this.

#122 Re: Devuan Derivatives » live-iso 32 bits testing and experimental with miniKDE » 2024-03-29 04:52:25

Poor users here who believed your self-praise.
Here is my experience of launching your ISOs, presented as a benefit for users.

One, after any command in the root terminal, stopped responding to on-screen menu items, and it was possible to turn it off only with a command from the root terminal.

The one discussed in this thread hangs at the loading stage of the x server. On a computer with an AMD video card, the screen blinks, but with an Intel video card, it gets stuck on endlessly repeating the server error message.
I would immediately delete such crafts of mine, you do not hesitate to post them.

#124 Re: Devuan Derivatives » live-iso 32 bits testing and experimental with miniKDE » 2024-03-28 09:30:01

"Slowly put down the mouse, raise your hands and step away from the computer!" (C)

I downloaded snapshot-20240326_1055.iso, wrote down dd, and ran it on a real machine. At the loading stage, the screen began to blink, apparently while the x server was loading.
At least the previous one loaded...

My position is not to develop but to help users

You are our benefactor!
Do you really think that anyone is interested in your attempts and “Frankensteins”?
You yourself are already confused in your “snapshots”, maybe that’s enough?
Well, find another way to increase self-esteem, and at the same time find something to do. Play solitaire, or something...

#125 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-27 04:11:25

Properly pointed, I am getting no less than 94% signal and download speeds of 13.5 Mbps on a day when not every TD&H is on the cable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802. … Data_rates

Setting up WiFi is a separate big topic.
You can optimize by choosing a channel, its width, etc. depending on local conditions.

Quote from the article. If you need a browser translator-
https://github.com/FilipePS/Traduzir-paginas-web

The Regulatory domain plays an important role; the regulatory domain may require restrictions on transmitter power, on the ability to run an access point on the channel, on acceptable modulation technologies on the channel, and also require some “spectrum pacification” technologies, such as DFS (dynamic frequency selection), detection radar (which each regdomain has its own, say, in the Americas almost everywhere it is offered by the FCC, in Europe it is different, ETSI), or auto-bw.

The regulatory domain may not be specified, but then the system will be guided by the union of all restrictions, that is, the worst possible option.
