We need a petition to make this LTS.

PlatinumSf, in Is it possible to flash a new OS onto an old iPad 2?

You may try a downloaded browser, they likely ship with a newer version of webkit than what’s on the system or in the store but I’m not 💯 and Google didn’t reveal any clarity on the matter.

I tried all the downloadable browsers. None work in this iOS. :(

If this is a VM, video playback stutters do not surprise me one bit. There’s many layers between the video and the image you see on screen here and they’re not optimised for viewing fidelity. This is likely not due to Linux but because you’re running this inside a with an emulated GPU. GUIs in VMs usually suck.

Optional codecs won’t help for Youtube since they serve royalty-free codecs such as VP9 or AV1 most of the time rather than patent-encoumbered codecs such as H.264 and free codecs are always installed.
That would also not fix stutters, only videos not playing back at all (because there’d be no decoder that could).

If this is a VM, installing the Nvidia driver also won’t do anything because the machine has no access to your host’s GPU. Not that the nvidia driver would change anything about videos since no sane browser supports their proprietary crap driver, so it’s software decoding either way.

You should try this on real hardware. You technically don’t even need to install as most GUI distros have a graphical installer with Firefox etc. pre-installed that you can use to test this.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, I’d recommend you to try !pop_os.

https://appledb.dev/device/iPad-2.html Select 9.3.5 and choose the jailbreak method you want. After that, download a newer browser with the jailbreak or even just run Linux on it.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

    Hmm… maybe they could compile Feenix. Build tools should probably be still available.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but you don’t sound too optimistic about them they they’re beyond my skill set anyway (except possibly jailbreaking).

    Missed opportunity to bake Doom into the kernel as an Easter Egg.

    PhobosAnomaly,

    “to compile the kernel you must kill me, Linus Romero”

    oatscoop,

    … I thought Lunix was invented by the infamous Soviet computer hacker Linyos Torovoltos.

    It’s an old meme but it checks out. Older than some of the people in this community haha

    For anyone that hasn’t seen it, it’s a reference to this satirical article from 2001: web.archive.org/web/…/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html

    PhobosAnomaly,

    Man I’ve seen derivatives of this stuff, but this must be the OG post - thanks for that!

    I thought the whole Lunix thing came from the elite hacker JEFF.K!!!11 so I’m chuffed there’s another level to this!

    @dan@upvote.au avatar

    It’s funny because the first time I read it, I thought it was serious and was just written by a tech-illiterate parent. Saying that Comet Cursor and Bonzi Buddy are hacker software kinda gives away that it’s just satire though.

    oh I guess that’s also something that younger people may not know about… In the late 1990s / early 2000s, it wasn’t uncommon for people to install spyware to get things like custom mouse cursors, emoticons, and purple gorillas that help you navigate the web.

    oatscoop,

    Another mirror has the original comments. They’re exactly what you’d expect from 2001.

    d3Xt3r,

    If you see the word “LILO” during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix.

    Wow, that’s a blast from the past! Completely forgot that LILO used to be a thing.

    dan, (edited )
    @dan@upvote.au avatar

    I remember dealing with migrating from LILO to GRUB when I was in high school, maybe 2005ish? It’s been a while. I remember the migration from ipchains to iptables, too (which is happening again now with the iptables to nftables migration)

    I used Ubuntu at the time… It was a great distro back then. I only had dial-up so couldn’t download large files easily, and Canonical or one of their local partners would mail you a CD for free regardless of where you lived in the world. I think that helped a LOT of people get into Linux.

    d3Xt3r,

    Similar experiences here. I remember waiting for the free CDs bundles with monthly magzines, and add then I’d the CD as a mirror in my repos to update my packages lol

    Grimpen,

    Ubuntu was the distribution that had me switch from dual-booting with Windows as default to dual-booting with Linux as default.

    I also remember ordering an actual Ubuntu disc, with the extra donation to fund the mailing for free program.

    Now years later after lots of distro-hopping I just run Ubuntu LTS, and stay on the very boring LTS branch.

    Maybe dwm or dwl. I’m a hyprland user but this would be the minimum you should go for

    @S410@kbin.social avatar

    Almost everything that's not Gnome can be considered lightweight, to be honest.

    Cwilliams,

    Maybe except KDE

    clmbmb,

    No. S/He’s right. Anything (including KDE) is better than gnome.

    Can this monolith be real, or just some crazy dream?
    But I feel drawn towards the GPL-2,
    Seem to mesmerize, can’t avoid Tivoization!

    We’ll wait until 7.7.7 so all of the religious folk switch to linux

    korbel, in (solved) I can't get my linux system to run properly

    Not sure about the opi method but I installed an opensuse tw recently with same nvidia/ryzen config and everything works just fine.

    Enabled nvidia and packman essentials in yast and replaced the system packages. That’s option 3 here.

    priapus, in Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

    The hardest part will probably be the installation, but if you can follow a youtube guide you’ll be fine. Go for a distro like PopOS or Fedora that have polished out of the box experiences.

    Thanks. Also have to say, priapus used to be my account name across all social media for a while lol.

    priapus,

    Haha, thats a fun coincidence. At some point Priapus became my go to for accounts I didn’t want connected to my main online name.
