Some of these are packages with the distro’s own tools and its own Free Mega Games Pack, but we can’t tell you much about those: the links are dead, or just lead to the LastOS forum’s homepage.
These “collection of dotfiles and broken scripts” style distros are the worst
Thats a fucking incredible headline lol
You get a lot of the same tools as Mint, such as Flatpak instead of Snap but with no Flatpak packages pre-installed. On top of this, it also pre-installs WINE 9, Google Chrome instead of Firefox, and quite a few smaller quality-of-life tools such as the Transmission BitTorrent client, a download manager, an image viewer, and more.
Google Chrome??? Why?
Is transmission the one without a gui? I’ll never get to that level
Transmission is the torrent client, no?
Yeah there was one on a linux thread before that didn’t have an interface. Craziness
lol!
I’m old and I’ve been using command lines for a long time. Especially in Linux. Heck I’ve used a terminal based web browser! (Links or Lynx? I can’t remember the name.)
Yes, both links and lynx are terminal based browsers. I remember using them to browse the Gentoo handbook when trying to do my first install.
Thanks for the nostalgic flashback.
From curiosity, we tried to install Adobe Photoshop. After a reboot, it worked, and apparently it’s Photoshop CC 19 from 2018, although the Help > About box closes instantly and the Help system didn’t work either, making it hard to confirm. This version is available as a free download, but requires a valid Creative Cloud license to use legally. It’s a good demo of modern WINE’s compatibility, though. It seems that you can run Photoshop on Linux these days.
Wait what you can??? Modern Photoshop???
It’s rather slow, has annoying UI glitches and crashes often but it does run yes.
…the cracked versions at least, god knows what running the Creative Cloud DRM cruft on Wine actually entails
