• distro hopping

  Pick up your Desktop Environment based on your computer's specs, NOT on your visual preferences. (HINT: XFCE consumes way less system resources than GNOME and KDE). Source: 6 months ago

• Lightweight dev tools.

  It’s a bit of an interesting challenge and has forced me to re-examine some of my tool usage. I started by a minimal install of Debian “bookworm” with the XFCE Desktop Environment which chews through much fewer resources than the default GNOME 43 based environment (although more than LXDE - but there still has to be room for aesthetics). - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  Luckily you can get an efficient, clean Desktop Environment that works well and is actively developed: Xfce ( https://xfce.org/ ) I think you will like it. It has a very early-2000's feel IMO. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• best lightweight linux distro for old laptop and gaming

  Well, it depends. It was better experience than FreeBSD 7.2 that's for sure. :) It was running Xorg with https://i3wm.org, a web-server, XMPP-server, PostgreSQL, few bots and dovecot / postfix (e-mail server). It was doing fine routing internet for 2PCs and a WiFi router for 10 years until its HDD died. For gaming... erm... I was able to play something like Theme Hospital or Syndicate Wars in dosbox.

• Only one of the four XFCE4's desktop/workspace got hung and now I can't use wallpaper

  Another resource for help might be xfce.org. It's a low traffic site, but responsive. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Easy file exchange between PC and phone

  For file transfers over the internet, https://wormhole.app/ and https://toffeeshare.com/ are often suggested. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How to copy a file between devices?

  Isn’t https://wormhole.app/ the solution here? Note I haven’t used it, it’s just often brought up here as a good solution for this class of problem. Is it surprising that the author mentions a ton of solutions but not this one? - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution

  One of the two creators of https://wormhole.app here :) Now that we’ve shifted our company’s focus to https://socket.dev, I’d love to open source Wormhole. I’m quite proud of the code - I’ve worked on P2P and file transfer systems for so so long that I think this might be some of the best code I’ve worked on. It’s just a matter of finding the time, but I expect this will be open source eventually. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• YouTransfer: Self-hosted file transfer and sharing solution

  It's unfortunately not FOSS, but I quite like https://wormhole.app/ - It's client side encrypted and P2P when possible. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
