@op did you try via command prompt (cmd.exe) eg copy or xcopy ?

at least on some versions of 11 (tested on LTSC (24H2)) is still possible to have the w10 file explorer - with hacks...-

I know this project: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00793091?term=Chakshu%20...

but I think it is stalled/abandoned


I am using the gmail web-app to access emails from eg yahoo and outlook, well if they pull off the plug of this feature (gmail mobile app only) no big deal - sod off gmail (web app again) there is zoho that you can do this with a very small cost (abt £1/mo IIRC)


bad eyes here due to corneal erosions and cataracts, but I don't use voiceover, just large fonts+ inverted contrast - on linux anyway, Gnome. I think windows have way better (quality) text2speech at least than linux


google gemini not better LMAO https://g.co/gemini/share/64e01b99c217


Smart kids then could use retro PDAs like Palm :)


enshitification and bloat this is what we get today


The warning I missed was "Outbasket". Why on earth would the user want that? S/he wouldn't.


https://twostopbits.com mainly retro stuff


me as well, olvwm was last time in Debian Jessie, now only on NetBSD as package


Looks like Debian removed olvwm/olwm because they were incompatible with 64-bit and unmaintained.

It's never going to be maintained...

But there is a 64-bit port (which I ought to bring in to Tribblix)

https://github.com/ggodd/xview-64bit


Feel free to check out https://github.com/olvwm/xview/ as well.

I wanted to run olvwm on Linux (when it went out of support on Ubuntu 16.04) and I'd managed to get this running on Ubuntu 20.04 (and more recently on Gentoo, as documented at https://ces.mataroa.blog/blog/gentoo-olvwm-bye-ubuntu/).

A survey of available olwvm implementations available on github at the time I created the repo is in the README of https://github.com/olvwm/xview/

Currently this works on an ancient 32-bit laptop (running NixOS 22.05 as documented in https://ces.mataroa.blog/blog/distro_hoppingmd/) as well.


I know this is a bit late, but I second the recommendation for an updated openlook and XView on Tribblix. In addition, ol/xv as a default desktop environment would be an strong differentiator for the distribution, IMHO. Along those same lines, Tribblix could more aggressively tout the historical justification for its SVR4 packaging, highlighting its retro-ness.

And thank you so much for tribblix; I was about to give up on illumos after repeated trouble installing OpenIndiana on my laptop (Tribblix worked out of the box on the hardware). I’ve since picked up a copy of “Solaris Internals” and have spent some time appreciating Solaris. Kudos.
