I had one ‘Yeah’ from Yeah! for going through my start menu, and a different Yeah for when a program was selected. It was awesome.

I miss startup sounds. I wonder if I can setup one on my computer…

“tada.wav” as the startup sound for win3 was the best.

Fourth week of getting NixOS running on an aarch64 laptop here… If I could get the adsp running by the time I get to userspace, you better believe I’d play a tada.
(In all seriousness, it’s not that bad. But it does make you very aware of just how delicate the whole stack of software is.)

Author Domain Signing Practices? Requires internet access by the looks of my quick search, so your race is between your Ethernet/wifi and the boot-up process. The only ways to fix it are to make the computer connect to the Internet faster, which is impossible for many. Most people substitute by adding a delay for getting into user space until after connection is establish

I never got to hear the “tada!” because we had a budget Sears 3.1 machine with a 386 at the time; the only sounds I heard were the beautiful pulse-width modulated screeching from the PC speaker.
