<p>the only remaining issue is that the font sizes are kind of fucked up _but_ the upgrade also fixed a number of other font DPI related issues so i think i&#39;ll just go and commit to figuring out which configuration i need to tweak to fix that</p><p>KDE stays winning. absolute best DE</p>

<p>i had this ancient .xsession file that i&#39;ve been maintaining for close to a decade now. it originated as the startkde script that i edited to run i3 instead of kwin. it was awful. it grabbed kde internals and launched random shit. over time it started bitrotting and i&#39;ve put up with things just... not working often</p><p>i just replaced it with a single `KDEWM=/usr/bin/i3 startplasma-x11` command and... everything works now? exactly as i want? holy shit</p>

<p>folks. folks i need to tell you something. i UPGRADED MY SYSTEM and it STARTED WORKING BETTER</p>

<p>I have released Sentinel v0.1.0-beta. For those not following along (this is a new thread for reach), Sentinel is my microcoded RISC-V CPU core in ~1000 LUTs on an ice40 FPGA. It implements RV32I_Zicsr and the Machine Mode privileged spec, and passes the RISCOF and RISC-V Formal test suites (as of end of 2023- needs updating).</p><p>I rewrote the README.md/quickstart. So if you have git and Python 3 installed, you can have a generated Verilog RISC-V core in 5-10 mins.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/cr1901/sentinel/tree/v0.1.0-beta" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/cr1901/sentinel/tre</span><span class="invisible">e/v0.1.0-beta</span></a></p>
