@npro It's only the Norwegian one that gives that absurd speed, makes sense -
but it's actually located in NL from what I can tellit's located in Oslo.I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
That was beautiful
Oh and you might want to try Aria2. It should (in theory) be able to download a file from several locations at the same time with several threads running. But of course, it mostly helps if the bottleneck is server-side bandwidth/connections, not some ocean cable over the whole pacific

Working-notes, fwiw.
18/7/22: Created from
GhostBSD-22.06.18-XFCE.iso
, using only BIOS not UEFI, & letting installer handle partitioning etc.
NB: Unlike ALL my Nix VMs, this one is hell for mouse-capture. Initially i simply could not get it to work, but then after forcing it to SPICE-redirect my mouse, the bugger was trapped inside the VM leaving my Host, ie, Towie's Arch KDE, mouseless -- fsckaduck. I could only recover by opening a terminal inside the VM, & executingpoweroff
. Eventually i found this better but still imperfect workaround; https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=f4e231a1f68ea6ebb896096cc5bb4d37&p=6189396#post6189396 ... "I had to remove the "tablet" device, either from virt-manager's hardware section of the VM... Then the VM would capture the mouse (and left CTRL+ALT to release) /// I had the same issue and this helped me - removing Tablet device from list of devices of the virtual machine definition. Disable "Tablet" device in VM definition". Thereafter, as soon as i clicked "Towie's mouse" anywhere within the VM, it did then auto-capture it ok ... & then to escape my mouse from the VM, per that search-result, pressing left CTRL+ALT did it, phew.
As for this VM itself, first impressions are unfavourable; it's laggy, its "best" screen resolution is only 1280x720, so everything is huge. I reduced font-size to 7pt, but now everything is fuzzy whilst all UI-elements still remain huge ofc. There's no BSD-compatiblespice-vdagent
afaict, so no Shared Clipboard or Folders. There's no DRM capability, so no "serious" streaming is possible. Sigh. Why have i bothered with this, again? -

@guigirl Why not look at the current version? Is there something about only reviewing LTS versions?
-
@TbGbe Yeah, i'm with you, but don't worry, he's a tight body-shirt-wearer, hence clearly harbours suspect opinions.

Fixes for recent Windows issues
I presume that the literal answer to that putative question is something along the lines of
sudo pacman -Rns windozeshyte && sudo pacman -Sy penguinparadiselandia
Seems eminently sensible, & i applaud V on their unilateral proactivity incorporating that code in their downloaded executable.

I was never a Trekkie, which probably instantly disqualifies me, but IMO this project is completely pointless, & additionally, is garishly ugly.

@guigirl ST was way more geeky I'd say (over SW) so it was about time for something like that . Looks very cool to me for what it tries to do, also it has TSA so I'd have expected you 'd love it instead?
Also... latest distrowatch poll
compared to pure Arch

How on earth can i be posting this now, having just sipped the tea a few minutes ago [per the PM -- haha, only a small coterie will understand this]? Tis so spooooooooooooooooooooooky...

@TbGbe Gasp! My mind is blown.
Is this the
Hotel California Syndrome

I wonder where those upvotes go??

@TbGbe Hahaha, good question!

oh, goodness me, i've accidentally and unexpectedly stumbled across a dedicated linux thread. how interesting and fortuitous, indeed serendipitous. i wonder if anyone uses such a system...

@ybjrepnfr Some Vivaldians use Arch Linux and like to have fun, too
