I had no idea that this was possible, and I learned something new today. Thank you!

I had commented this above, but the OS should be flexible enough to do whatever the user needs it to do. "What it needs to do" is pretty broad, but I think that's the point.

> Even skipping the first step (which requires a second readme) the next step involves opening a terminal. Instant fail. The entire point of an operating system is to make computers usable without knowing how they work, what a file is, what a command is, or having to look up anything. If something needs to be done, it needs a GUI.

I strongly disagree with this; I believe that an OS should be whatever the user needs it to be. In my case, I am a power user that loves the command line, and while I agree that I may not represent the majority of users, I do not care for your assertion that my way of doing things is somehow invalid.

I love seeing so many brilliant creatives throwing their talents at the 303 - hardware hackers, software writers, etc.

this is awesome, thank you for sharing!

thanks - it was really fun to build. I (well claude and I) focused on being very accurate. https://tnn1t1s.github.io/day-303/about.html

What's worse, someone in their PR department will read this thread and be disappointed that the spin didn't work.

> I also like SliTaz

thank you for this reminder! I had completely forgotten about SliTaz, looks like I need to check it out again!

this is really great, I like it!

I would give anything to have a linux window manager that looks and behaves just like this. I said this to my coworkers in slack and they said that my age is showing, which is probably true. everything on this website is so easy to find, it just feels good. icons and color scheme is perfect as well.

LXDE and Xfce are essentially this.

Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about Blosxom!

I take it from your post that it is no more?
