Tech support is /wsr/ but regarding your question you're going to have better luck by telling which distribution, which desktop environment, and lockscreen application (could be the default).

>>107739665
Ubuntu, Gnome, default.

>>107739654
Fedora uses Plymouth for boot logo afaik and your issue could be kernel parameters. You have to set it to include the "rhgb quiet" option if you don't want to see text. It could also be a plymouth theme issue and in that case you'd have to regenerate with "sudo plymouth-set-default-theme fedora -R".

However, note that distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. are not meant for you to go around making lots of changes. Some seem to work and then when you upgrade your OS it will get some unexpected configuration and fail the upgrade.

Hiding boot text might be safe idk but if you want to do lots of custom configs you would use something tailored for that like Arch Linux, NixOS, Gentoo, etc.

Also see this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Silent_boot

It explains how all of this works. It's for Arch but it's more detailed than Fedora docs.

The capacity of them was laughable the 8-inch Floppy disk is ~242KB

1 Wikipedia article page saved as ASCII text takes up 25KB at the lowest.

So 10 pages would fill that one up of pure ASCII text.

In the 70s, computers were for a very select demographic of people who either needed to process data without renting out server time on an expensive mainframe, people who needed to automate gadgets like lab equipment or lighting, or were hobbyists who wanted to venture into the new frontier of computing. I have a modified COSMAC ELF that I am planning to use as the brains of a pen plotter, by controlling the motors and the pen, using the CPU to calculate motor speed and timing. I know of another guy who used his ELF as an adjustable timer for photo enlargement printing, turning off the light when the print was done.

80s computers were way more popular, and were used for stuff like word processing + typesetting, automated financial calculations, CAD stuff to easily visualize and edit building plans, even faster data processing, connections to mainframes with the data you need, medical billing, etc.

Most of your misconceptions stem from taking the conveniences of modern computers for granted. You don't know what they replaced, because you are a newfaggot who hasn't put much thought into this.

bros what do I do when I can't keep using my T430 anymore? I think I'm fine for now but this is something I've looked into before. Last time I checked I felt disgust and rage and gave up and kept using my T430 and now I'm at a point where I'm kind of thinking about it again.

How do I cope with this or live with something that's not my T430? I would only get something newer to run modern bloatware when the 430 can't load websites and stuff anymore, but it seems like everything else will be a huge downgrade.

Seems like a skill issue. I just rebooted to see how much RAM my Windows 11 install uses on a fresh boot and it's less than half of that. I haven't done any extreme debloating either. I'm convinced that most of you who have problems with Windows are just retards who have no idea how to configure anything. You probably haven't even turned off basic shit like it preloading Edge at startup and then wonder why it's using so much RAM.

KDE 4 was a complete disaster. Nepomuk and Akonadi were big bets that went very wrong.
Plasma 5 was much better but semi-related things like SDDM and Maliit were (and still are) complete abortions. The lock screen used to crash regularly and kwin wasn't the most stable thing either.
Plasma 6 is nice and stable, the login manager and virtual keyboard are supposedly going to be replaced by in-house forks, I'm not holding my breath but so far no crashes.
