Hi Andrew,

Can you please share what the underlying operating system is?

custom Slackware 15.0 i586, was a lot of previous Slackware versions before ...

I once compiled then-new modular X11 into /usr/X11R7 dir and this keeps biting me when Cmake submodules fails to find X11 so I keep adding symlinks to /usr ...

kernel is 5.6 (crosscompiled as x86-64) , because I was modifying Slax 5.x (!) boot scripts for less-patched kernels over time (so overlayfs replaced unionfs patch) for intended use as real live dvd or same on usb flash drive (sadly killed one by connecting front side usb connector wrong ...I have copy of it on bigger machine's hdd).

In other words not something you can use anywhere where secure OS is actually needed, but I spend a lot of time making this copy of Slackware fine tuned for my use-cases ... was following mesa3d.git for drivers until quite lately, but they tend to break old stuff now, so I just stick to version that mostly work on my small selection of hardware.

Not really something to brag about, but i resurrected my old computer

bash-5.1$ inxi CPU: dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (-MCP-) speed/min/max: 1000/1000/2000 MHz Kernel: 5.6.14-x64 x86_64 Up: 16m Mem: 777.0/987.6 MiB (78.7%) Storage: 149.05 GiB (15.4% used) Procs: 184 Shell: Bash inxi: 3.3.12

with slightly older TDE (14.0.13)

and it works!

I am a bit surprised FF 140.1 ESR can handle web interface of gmail in august 2025, barely, but it manages not to die in swap (on mechanical IDE connected drive)

Even drag and drop from konqueror to this window works!
