[12:41:19] <EAZYBLACK> hi, is there a desktop environment available for i486?
[12:45:13] <KillerWasp> !aw desktop enviroment
[12:45:14] <phrik> KillerWasp: No results found.
[12:45:46] <KillerWasp> https://wiki.archlinux.org
[12:45:48] <phrik> Title: Desktop environment - ArchWiki (at wiki.archlinux.org)
[12:46:32] <KillerWasp> EAZYBLACK: i know LXDE like the most light, but i don't know if can run in i486.
[12:49:21] <EAZYBLACK> ah i wanna try running it on AMD K6-II 500Mhz for fun lol
[12:50:39] <EAZYBLACK> i also noticed last i486 build is from 2022-12
[12:53:18] <KillerWasp> It is still maintained although not in stable mode. i486 is having a lot of problems being maintained today, especially with Python, many of those packages only work at 64 bits and refuse to give you an update for 32 bits.
[12:55:39] <EAZYBLACK> ah i really hope i can get at least a DE working
[13:01:40] <T`aZ> icewm might be worth a try also
[13:04:45] <KitsuWhooa> very little chance you can get a desktop environment
[13:04:50] <KitsuWhooa> most gui toolkits don't build
[13:11:55] <EAZYBLACK> what do you mean by gui toolkit
[13:14:27] <KitsuWhooa> GTK, Qt, etc
[13:14:34] <KitsuWhooa> the libraries and frameworks GUI applications are based on
[13:14:49] <EAZYBLACK> oh
[13:15:25] <KitsuWhooa> you're free to try though :p
[13:15:29] <EAZYBLACK> alright i just found xfce4 it exists for i486
[13:18:37] <EAZYBLACK> kde is incomplete
[13:20:08] <EAZYBLACK> its sad to see lxde not being there cuz its gtk2
[13:22:58] <EAZYBLACK> nvm lxde is there too, so xfce4 and lxde is for i486
[13:24:19] <EAZYBLACK> i mean many more exist but i mean of the common ones its lxde xfce4 and mate
[13:24:25] <EAZYBLACK> (for i486)
