France Canada
I’d be completely lost with BEPO…
I used QWERTY US in 80-90, it was the only available keyboard on 8bit machine (Sinclair, Amstrad, Commodore, etc), then AZERTY in 90-00 because I had a PC, then moved to Québec so since ~2000 use QWERTY FR_CA. Because of all the switch and never learning how to type, I still type with like 2 fingers :)
no, the one you put is the “official” french canadian one, used mostly by gov, but everyday people are using the “normal” one
This is why we have not conquered the world yet :)
Do you not use BEPO ?
French Canadian keyboard is QWERTY but with all kind of symbol, like the 1 to = top row can give
with shift !"/$%?&*()_+
with altcar ±@£¢¤¬¦²³¼½¾
We also have the µ¯§¶«»°
and we can do all kind of Èîöç etc
eille wow non étant Français, AZERTY c’est cool :)
¤ is the currency symbol
Yes, at least seeing a 50yo guy like me. We come from the 8bit world, there was no linux!
In University. In the 90s we used commercial un*x (HP-UX, IRIX, AIX, Solaris/SunOS, SCO) and some others like SVR4, BSD, Minix. Then a guy on usenet talked about making is own kernel running on a 386. My first real full linux install was kernel 0.99 on a 486DX50, around 1993, came in multiple floppies, then to install X11 that was like 10 more floppies! Configuring things was a bit nighmarish.
I had a small one like 1024x600, it was powered by USB-C (that carries the touchscreen signal) and it was mini-HDMI. It worked first try in Windows or Linux, nothing special to do, just plug 2 cables. It had stereo speakers too, a rocker switch on the side to set volume, brightness, etc with a menu like TV.
That Chinese people buys lots of american stuff like trucks and all ? I guess?
I still have my old HP Mini311 netbook, AntiX or Linux MX 32bits works well on it.
So AliExpress will be dead for USA?
Of course, but there would not be millions/billions of people at that latitude without A/C
It is a vicious cycle, yes, but I think it changed the world. Without A/C we would not have SOCAL, Florida, Texas, etc. or India or others.
I’m using MX Linux AHS, it is Debian based, it is always up to date, like latest firefox a few hours after it’s out, kernel 6.12.17 as of today, etc.
It has no systemd, no snap, no flatpak. It just uses the good old .deb and everything is working fine.
It should work pretty well, I have a AMD 5600H and runs “MX Linux AHS” for 3 years now
old school here, started with X Terminal and motif (mwm) and played with twm of fvwm last century. I have always like Xfwm/Xfce because it is simple and it works. I have the start menu/quick launches, the button bar where windows appears, and the icon area, a little bit like windows 95. No icons on my desktop.
One of the reason I moved to MX Linux, it is Debian based, always latest everything, like 6.12.11 kernel, my FF just got updated to 135.0, and it is no systemd, no flatpak, no snap, everything is DEB, and stable.
He wants to put hotels and casino there, the new riviera, he will called it “Punta Gaza”. After a few years, hotel and casino will go bankrupt, trump will be a couple billions richer.
I’m using MX Linux AHS on my PC for years, it is my work PC, 40h/week, for 3 years now, 0 problem with it, no systemd, no flatpak, no snap, and using Xfce is so nice :)
It is debian based and always up to date for firefox etc. For instance we are January 30th, my kernel is 3 days old.
6.12.11-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.11-1~mx23ahs (2025-01-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
It’s because once chips are made in USA, China will be able to invade Taïwan and Trump will not care at all.
