Afaik, it is just pre customized to be usable for windows users. Goal is no terminal required for the average user that just needs a browser and maybe does basic unmodded gaming. Good for parents and siblings who are getting fed up with windows.

The paid bits are extra support, more preconfigured layouts and some apps that people new to linux may not realize exist (for stuff like school IT systems changing to linux, or a vfx company changing away from windows b/c they are worried about ai stealing their art).

Even in the very off chance he wasn’t the architect, he is such an incompetent leader that the dems broke ranks including his party whip Durbin without him knowing. Absolutely awful politician and a disgrace

Hey, apologies to necro a thread but I also tried out winboat recently which works great as well! In case you were feeling starved for options haha

This is very interesting in that it also collects water. I have been following a scientist’s series as he has been researching infrared cooling paint that has gotten similar, if not better results in terms of cooling: https://youtu.be/KDRnEm-B3AI, along with hydrophobic coatings for other purposes.

It is a great idea to combine those two things and look into how much water a fully painted roof can provide though, so I’ll look into passing this paper along to him.

Sleepy princess in the demon castle is mine!

It isn’t quite the same, but marking viewed posts as read and automatically hiding viewed posts seems to do the trick for me

Also if it isn’t sold anymore, my go-to website for games is myabandonware.com It tends to have descriptions of the compatibility with modern systems, and for hit and run it has the modding tools linked. For other stuff it has the patches you need to run it, usually

I’ll dm you the link! Not sure if there are any rules against sharing links in this comm.

Have y’all taken any trips there? Honestly just living out of an airbnb, taking the chance to go to the grocery store and cook at home a few times, (like you are “living that life” in the smallest sense) and taking day trips with the trains is what eased my family’s fears.

Arriving in a beautiful airport, walking downstairs to the train station, learning that the paper train tickets can be tapped to let you in (and later just the credit card), then being at our bnb in like half an hour without stepping foot in a car was so magical to us. Then we stopped by the grocery store (surprised at there being 2 within a 5 min walk), and we noticed that the prices of everything was a fraction of what we normally pay, but also tastier and healthier. Then compounded over the next few days with day trips to other cities, seeing actual historic places (unlike the US, at least the west), and seeing that everywhere just has… a better quality of life-- Strictly speaking from locality to parks, grocers, cafes, and the very low risk freedom of movement without a car.

It also helps that their english literacy rate is equal or better than the US… I’m learning dutch so I can assimilate better when I move, and you’d probably need to know it for many jobs, but luckily it isn’t too difficult to learn. Hardest part is finding resources imo, but the discord for learning dutch has weekly practice sessions.

Just saw this today! https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps. It runs a full vm but integrates it natively as far as I understand, but it can run w/e with a bit of performance loss.

I had a little bit of success using steamtinkerlaunch to set up MO2 or vortex through steam!

Looking at it with the perspective that low effort gacha games and gambling drivel makes for tens of billions sales, it makes sense why investors see this as disappointing. I agree with you wholeheartedly, though. Be it 10 million or 10 billion in profits, it is crazy to see either of those as a “failure.” This whole era of business suits driving game development is insane
