I've been able to configure KDE to my liking so that I feel at home again in the K Desktop Environment.
This is critical because it means that everything from way back in the beginning, decades ago when KDE was released, is still in the current new and fresh version of the K Desktop Environment
It means that the teams which have worked on KDE for the past decades have kept the core of KDE alive
It means that we have an excellent group of programmers, before and current, who have worked on KDE and who have kept KDE beautiful fantastic and magnifique for a wide range of people all over the globe

Why we need lisp machines
｢ They were programmed in lisp the whole way down and could be run code interpreted for convenience or compiled to microcode for efficiency. You could open up system functions in the editor, modify and compile them while the machine was running. Everything worked in a single address space, programs could talk to each other in ways operating systems of today couldn’t dream of ｣

Unix friends: what are the low level calls that can create processes?
I've got fork(2), vfork(2), rfork(2), clone(2), posix_spawn(3) (and spawn(2) on Solaris). Also fork(all|1)x?. OSF/1's nfork(2) I guess.
Am I missing anything else that should be on this list? Unix-like systems only, please (so no CreateProcess or the like). What else should be on that list?

UEFI ha reso superfluo, almeno in parte, l'uso di un vero e proprio bootloader.
Anche se non si sceglie di privarsene del tutto, sperimentare con l'avvio del sistema operativo è un operazione estremamente didattica e divertente!

Since this command...
`xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"`
...segfaults in fluxbox atm I did not bother with a screenshot, because xfce4-screenshooter rocks way too much to use another one
At this moment I'm roughly tuning a very nice FluxBox Desktop in an OpenSource POSIX driven OS.
I'm working on tuning my Desktops Environments in such a way that it doesn't matter whether I run them in Linux or *BSD
That way I'll just fire up the Operating System inject my own configuration for the desktop environment fire up X.org and then start working
FluxBox has been a favorite window / desktop manager of mine a couple of decades ago.
Since it has been written efficient it's blazingly fast
I combine tools that I love from Xfce with FluxBox so that my muscle memory for shortcuts can be used in a super smooth manner
