It’s concerning that you think “just buy new stuff” is reasonable and that Windows should only work on new hardware out of the box.

Good guy GOG wants you to actually own your own games, forever.

I’d guess it’s a cat and mouse game with Google to keep it functional.

I like the pipedlink bot and the issue seems to be resolved now. Pipedlink bot works for users without having to run a particular os or plugin/add-on.

Microsoft are deep into the government with exchange and Active Directory with most being migrated to Microsoft365 and Azure.

Add in MS Teams, SharePoint, MS SQL, 30 years of business rules living in old excel macros that ends up running the entire company.

Windows enterprise licences would be a tiny part of their spend and far too costly to mitigate away from. Most large corporations are virtualising old windows version just to keep their existing legacy apps runnings.

I feel arch users would be far more popular if this were true.

I only just got latte-dock. I’ll need to look into panels, it looks really good.

What are you running? How was this done?

Windows has WSL which is nice, however MacOS is Darwin and at least *NIX like.

It’s Linux then all *nix and then Windows at the very bottom.

Mozilla Thunderbird is free and open source (foss)

I’ll have to look into it. I think my fstab is still referencing ntfs-3g.

Found this:

Note: All officially supported kernels with versions 5.15 or newer are built with CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m and thus support it. Before 5.15, NTFS read and write support is provided by the NTFS-3G FUSE file system. Or you can use backported NTFS3 via ntfs3-dkmsAUR. Paragon Software, the author of the kernel module, has not yet released userspace utilities for NTFS3. You can use NTFS-3G userspace utilities without NTFS-3G driver via ntfsprogs-ntfs3AUR.

Isn’t NTFS-3G required anymore?

Everyone is different. I think the freedom to do that is better than being arbitrarily locked out. If you are winning tournaments, why wouldn’t you hold your own against the portal enemies? Makes sense to me.

I think this is the best solution. rclone also has built in crypt too.

Edit: built in crypt if you configure it for use
