What were specific compatibility patches for the kernel, I guess, but I am also not sure

You have to knit them yourself

You may screenshot the desktop after login and use it as a background, but I don't think it will be exactly the same

Who is the third one?

This sounds dope, does this mean that Frame is what was assumed to be a next Index?

I think, they have a point about the spec being both enormous and underspecified, and that there should be other ways to have and query relational data.

But yeah, it looks like some of the points are a bit blown out of proportion. I especially liked those monstrosities of queries that are examples of how the same thing computes different results (but it shouldn't be allowed, really)

I'm more interested in how do you navigate system menus and such, or does DE manage this? I've tried one Linux distro recently without a mouse attached and it was painful because some elements of the system UI are not accessible in any way

I mean the time when games from 90's were just games, because it was 90's

What I meant to say is that they can easily use both a phone and a PC, and still think it's arcane and cryptic. Even if they needed to tinker with it, e.g. a lot of DOS games required me to set IRQ, and I still don't know precisely what it is

I'm afraid this required much more tinkering back in the day, and will be way less educational now. Maybe building and running a PC from 2005 or earlier will require the same level of getting to know things, but otherwise it will not teach to not treat computer as arcane and enigmatic, imo

Probably not fans of Nintendo or something
