The kernel module that hides the standard dirs under / is entirely optional, and is only there for aesthetic purposes. If you don't want it, don't load it. Absolutely nothing in gobolinux requires that kernel module to be run

No, with `xrandr` you can scale to any fractional amount. For example, I had 2 24" external monitors (full-hd, not 4k), and a 13" thinkpad (chromebook, booted into linux). Obviously, the respective DPI's were way off. Just a

Umm, sorry, no. First of all, lisp sexps have nothing to do with strings (which is why noone says that), whereas in tcl, every data structure has something to do with strings. In tcl, semantically , everything is a string. Yes, the nativ

I may be climbing up the wrong tree here, but I genuinely get the impression that the OP is actually from the US, and wants to leave it. Or am I reading in between the lines of the cryptic opening post too much? Dunno ...

IMHO, thats a trifle misleading. Squeak was the open-source smalltalk, but got bogged down by the accumulated baggage of unfinished projects stuck inside it. Etoys, an aging morphic implementation, etc. Squeak was forked in two separate

We have a lot of tools built to interact with files. A legacy of multiple decades on Unix. Using that same file "metaphor" to describe resources other than actual blobs to be stored on disk, is surprisingly powerful. Something whi

(not OP, but hope you don't mind my $0:02) tcl is what you get when you take shell and lisp, and smash them into each other. In many ways, its a lisp whose central data structure is the string, rather than than the linked list (so, a s
