I decided to put Gentoo Linux on my 2013 Chromebook Pixel with MrChromebox.tech to replace the GalliumOS install that is now no longer maintained.
GalliumOS is basically an old version of Ubuntu with XFCE and some x86 Chromebook tweaks. I copied the scripts and systemd service file that enable zram (swap to compressed RAM instead of disk) with LZ4 compression. With that enabled, I can build packages with 2 concurrent jobs in 4GB RAM with Gentoo's KDE desktop running!
TIL: Wenn ich unter #Windows die allgemeinen Schriftgrößen für z.B. Menüs, Dialoge, Fenstertitel ändern möchte, *ohne* die gesamte Skalierung des Desktops zu ändern, muss ich das in der Systemsteuerung unter "Accessibility" bzw. "Barrierefreiheit" tun.
(Vor 20 Jahren hieß so was noch "behindertengerecht")
In meinem #Linux|-Desktop geht das mit System - Einstellungen - Darstellung - Erscheinungsbild - Schriften. So einfach kann das sein.

Changed camera back to orthographic but with some changes so hopefully this works
I’ve been thinking about this anonymously produced RPG for practicing anti-authoritarian tactics since I ran into it last week.
It dovetails well with my general sense that acting extremely normal online and off is probably a strong move for most people at this time.
