     @gabi @Suiseiseki @wildebest if only I could get mkinicpio to detect ide drives, I would have the perfect parabola i686 system. Alas parabola devs dont give their 32 bit counterpart the love it deserves.

     @wildebest @Suiseiseki Your computer would thank you if you install Parabola GNU/Linux-libre with OpenRC.

     @Suiseiseki I got this PC at a recycle center. It was perfectly fine aside from the front panel being a bit smashed so you couldn't press in the power button. I imagine whoever owned it ran the vacuum into it or something, and decided "oh well, better throw it out".

     @waff @Suiseiseki nah lol I like to limit myself to make everything a lil bit challenging and fun. Plus programming with this potato PC forces me to create something non bloated because it forces me to over optimize stuff you wouldn't bother to do if you had a decent spec PC.

     @wildebest @Suiseiseki i like your mindset. My mindset is that if theyre old and the parts are dirt cheap I might as well get the best of the best parts and treat the pc like royalty
