Having managed to install and run OPENSTEP on a Frankenpad T61, albeit without network access, I'd wish someone similarily capable would create some network and PCMCIA drivers for the T6x Thinkpad generation to enable full use of its h

It would help your question if you'd more clearly define what you intent to discuss about. Remote mindreading is still not a very common skill among the typical HN public. Or do you expect people first google for some of the keywords y

Maybe a bit more noteworthy is that this finally also includes a proper ARM64 version. And it installs and runs fine also on a Pinebook Pro.

I'd wish there was a Midnight Commander available for Android that would allow for being used during an adb shell or ssh session. Ghost Commander doesn't cover that use case, sadly.

Glad you like it and thanks for the recommendation! Nonetheless, being the maintainer of this project, i'd like to point out that this is no dedicated GNUstep distro, but a mostly Debian based distribution using a thoroughly preconfigu

We are not really in a position to dictate what the GNUstep project ought to do. I for one am rather thankful for what they have achieved so far. Especially since they seem to mainly lack the man power which its critics probably won't

You'd need something like Wayback[1] in Wayland to be able to use it. Being exclusivley an X11 window manager, there is no direct support for Wayland. There is a Wayland compositor namend wlmaker[2] that tries to mimick Window Maker. B

Development of Window Maker (as in the window manager) unfortunately seems to be almost abandoned. The last few years of it's development saw the inclusion of rather superfluous additional features (e.g., screen capture, hot corners) i

Is there any better alternative site for easy and free bulk data distribution of ISO images? I really wouldn't want to host my stuff on any Microsoft controlled sites.

It would be great if there were a similar solution for directly running legacy NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP binaries on Linux without the system vitualization overhead of something like previous or virtualbox. Mainly thinking about being able to

A few months ago I installed the venerable OPENSTEP 4.2 on an old Thinkpad T60 using a T7200 CPU and a PATA SSD, with about 950MB of usable RAM. On top of that I installed as many flagship applications as i could find to get an idea how wor
