I think so! It just took Windows shooting itself in the foot to do it.

They do, but they have guns, which makes sure they get paid.

Good. let’s let the bodyguards earn their keep, too.

I have a weird situation. I was a Windows user from 3.x to 10. I genuinely like Win9x, XP, and a lot of 7. I switched to Linux as my main machine with Mint because Cinnamon works like Windows. The only hassle I have is external display issues (X11 displayport stuff) - so I’m not looking at Cachy or KDE Neon or anything like that. But my gaming PC is Win11. It all works. Getting back to Windows, while there’s some challenges, everything feels “right” again. 7-Zip, Notepad++, various games, it’s all natural. I have trouble running arbitrary software on Mint, but Windows just runs every exe I throw at it. It works with my trackball and external display painlessly.

Basically, they both work.

Also, I disagree with the article author about the email client in the OS. I think that’s bloatware and the results of Microsoft being monopolistic. Webmail works fine. If you want an email client locally, it’s your choice. Then again I’d love to see what he says is better than Outlook - because it isn’t Thunderbird.

Ah right, they’re “too big to fail”.

Yeah, it’s taking too long.

How can we make them run out in mid-2026?

Almost half? nowhere near enough. We gotta get to it being “all”.

Fair enough. I meant that the Faygo company isn’t as deep in the ax-wielders as Timbs are in the rap community. They produce their full range still & sometimes make new flavors.

They’re still a good brand, is what I’m saying.

Cowabunga?

I like Faygo red pop tho. I’m glad the brand hasn’t been dragged with the cult.

My old laptop works well on Windows 10. Mint does about 99% of that and other stuff I don’t do in Windows. The only thing that I miss is a multi monitor setup (and I’ve been told that CachyOS or KDE Neon would do it).

You just named the only 3 good browsers.

It’ll be nice to see if Commodore can work better now, disconnected from Tramiel.

I could see myself using this as a daily driver.

No, no. $299 vs. $599 is PS1 vs. 3DO. Commodore wasn’t part of that meme.

It means to move with all possible haste.

You’re being very optimistic that it’ll be resolved so quickly.

Always have been.

I prefer PipePipe to NewPipe, personally. It’s got more sources. Otherwise, in no particular order…

• Shattered Pixel Dungeon
• Fennec F-Droid
• Xed-Editor
• AntennaPod
• VLC
• Forkyz
• AnySoftKeyboard
• KDE Connect
