That's how I found it (and this is how I discovered about I2P+ which is running much better for me) :)

Thanks for the pointer to i2p+... just installed and it feels much snappier already. Perhaps more importantly, the router page looks way more futuristic.

Reply to So, I decided to give KDE Plasma a whirl... by Rambler
I used XFCE from 2006 until around 2011 and it was pretty nice and lightweight. Then I switched to a laptop running Gnome for a few years, but noticed later versions became a bit sluggish. On my current machine (a laptop based on Ryzen 7 with 40 GB of RAM) I switched to KDE Plasma because its performance is pretty good, it's compatible with Wayland and it has a lot of built-in applets and stuff. And it didn't have the frequent CPU activity spikes I was seeing with Gnome.
Despite the lack of Wayland support, XFCE is really nice, although I'd consider LXDE or Enlightenment on a low RAM machine. Enlightenment looked amazing last time I tried it on an old laptop.

Vanilla 2.3.0 now has it. It's even in the changelog.

I2P or I2P+?
I know it's been on I2P+ for a long time, but didn't know if it was in/on vanilla I2P.

I didn't know this existed since 15 minutes ago when I updated i2p (I know lazy me) and it popped up on the router homepage.
It's neat.

Ha - Yeah, we may or may not suffer from a lack of activity here.

You can try to strip some part of Plasma to make it less heavy on resources. Still, if your hardware's shit, there's nothing doing. I've got a laptop which barely runs bspwm xd.
What you are looking for is baloo and PIM shit, which is almost useless. if you take a look at htop, you can see what is chugging RAM and other resources.
Anyway, what hardware do you have to not run Plasma?

Update: Tried running in on my workstation. It's performs like dog shit.
Back to XFCE fulltime.

Reply to A Brief Review of ReactOS by HMTg927
I tried it on an HP nc6320 a few years ago, and it installed, but I had problems with drivers. I tried the same model again about 6 months ago, and it didn't even boot this time :( I should try it again soon. It's a great project, it's just a shame that it feels like it's moving so slowly. It would be great as an alternative to old OSes like 2000 and XP that are no longer supported, but run expensive equipment like medical or other scientific devices.

"right now" should really say "so far"

Then there is the classic bit of lifting prints after they hand you something.
Not cool.

you can install linux on a btrfs subvolume.
during the installation you have to manually mount it on /target and skip the partitioning process. after continuing you'll probably get an error message where you hit 2xback and suddenly it continues. i could expand on this. is there (still) demand ?

That's already an issue. Have you watched news out of there? Such a disconnect with reality.
This is an old article, but very related.
Ever try to sign up for a VPS in that country? Every one of them states in the ELUA that you are not allowed to use Tor.
But, they are not the only country that does this. China is a classic example. But, even places like France do country level blocking of various content.

Today I learned that Ramble was linked to on Vanilla I2P.
I didn't realize that it occurred on the June 30th release and that this wasn't actually "new" news (2mo~) until about fifteen minutes ago.
Either way, glad to see that the site is directly accessible from both consoles!
