Yeah, this is what always surprises me with modern software targeted towards low-specced computers.
Windows XP run fine in 256MB ram computers yet it could be altered to make it look fantastic, with the Royale or Royale Noir themes.
I guess even Linux back then could be made beautiful on similarly specced computers. Yet, AntiX or even LxQt is hideous despite consuming more resources!
That's super cool! I have been wondering what could be done with ESP32 if it weren't for the lack of RAM.
As a fun of Rust, one thing that saddens me is knowing these things would be difficult to achieve with a Rust compiler, given the language seems to be vastly more complex.
Unless someone created a subset of Rust without (some?) safety checks, I guess.
Which distro supports partial upgrades? AFAIK no major distro supports it.
The only difference between Arch and any other regular distro is simply that in Arch there are no major upgrade versions, so any breaking changes you have to perform them manually. Period.
In the rest, they do it for you. But they update key components as well and/or stop getting updated at some point (same as not updating Arch).
For example, I am a happy Fedora user, but I don't get why they don't upgrade the Plasma or Gnome version in the same release but they do upgrade the kernel, when the kernel update may bring more breaking changes...
FreeFileSync's Flathub flatpak, still live, has been mentioned in another subreddit to have had contributions from the same username that was promoting this PPA on Github (3ddruck12). He has been banned from Github.
