I do see how the pastel palette is at least easy on the eyes. When I do my own, I end up going to a 70's color scheme. Partly my age, and partly I like fall colors. But the super vibrant colors are not something I'm a fan of after using default rio for so long.
Is there any way to partition a CPU server so that one user can't consume all of the CPU available on that machine? Part of me feels like the answer is "of course" and part of me feels like the answer is "no, this OS is by engineers for engineers, so they can count on everyone behaving themselves."
As far as I know, it is "no, this OS is by engineers for engineers". A scheduler that could do that would be interesting. Maybe an rc mod or replacement that watch /proc and uses that to throttle a user. For ultimate sandboxing, it is possible to use vmx(1) to spin up more 9Front instances.
kde 2 or 3 (trinity) on 9front would be cool. Rio looks like it to me as it was programmed from aliens! :-) I mean I like to watch your videos, but the UI I cant get used to! I was all time a KDE guy.
Rio was made by some hard core engineers. Maybe aliens. I grew up with computers starting in the early 1980's, so spartan interfaces aren't so odd to me. But I can see how they are strange to a modern audience.
@@adventuresin9 I grew up with a Philips P2000 and a Commodore 128DCR. So I like text interfaces. But I cant get used to Rio. It fascinates me how it alienates me. :-p
I started on the Commodore 64. Used things like AS/400 on 5250 terminal. And I've played with a ton of graphical interfaces from then to now. I did recently do a video on lola for 9Front, which offers some more typical stuff like title bars.
/dev/theme was a nice addition to 9front. I don't miss the Easter pastel colour palette at all. 😜

vdir now ships with the 9front system, IIRC
You might be thinking vdiff, a visual diff viewer, also made by phil9.

I propose that this episode be renamed Riocing Plan9 😅
🤣🤣🤣

Inferno had more conventional UI, but look where it is now.

@@an2qzavok inferno had other issues then the gui.
