#win10

1 post1 participant0 posts today

People who say "Win 10 goes, get Linux!"

I cannot use my music studio kit with Linux. All these brands are in deep with Microsoft and Apple. 😐

I cant edit/update the Helix. I cant use Ableton. I cant use my Zoom stuff. RME.

People like me have been asking brands for over 10 years to just give us the option. None except Reaper seem to have listened.
#tech #Windows #win10 #linux

I really think Linux Foundation or a collaboration between distros and DEs should create some website and materials to try and capture the attention of people who don't like Win 11 or just don't want to throw away a perfectly fine PC and buy a new one – and try and help them migrate to Linux

Rising tide lifts all boats, the competition between players should be set aside for the goal of helping as many as possible get to Linux now with EOL for Win10. A unique opportunity!

Wenn #Win10 abgestellt werden soll, überlege ich, ob ich einen #linuxumstieg für meine Eltern (beide 80) wagen soll.
Die beiden sind eigentlich relativ fit, aber inzwischen alt und damit schwindet das Können und die Flexibilität. Für sie ist Office wichtig (und ja, sie sind an Office Ribbons gewöhnt) und zudem benötigen sie zwei spezielle Windowsprogramme.
Der #distrochooser empfiehlt drei Distros, außerdem habe ich mal von #wubuntu bzw. #winux gelesen.
Welche empfehlt ihr und warum?

I just installed Windows 10 Home on a device. I never realized how crappy #Windows has become in my opinion.

My first mistake was connecting it to the internet in the setup wizard, as it then tried to force me to create and sign into a #Microsoft account. I then researched this, but none of the #Win11 tricks worked on #Win10.

I managed to disconnect from the WLAN again by opening the command line (Shift + F10) and typing "netsh wlan disconnect". Afterwards I could create an offline account.

"Wem es ebenfalls absurd – und aus einer Nachhaltigkeitsperspektive problematisch – vorkommt, einen tadellos funktionierenden Rechner wegen begrenzt nachvollziehbarer Vorschriften von #Microsoft wegzuwerfen, der sei daran erinnert, dass es Alternativen gibt. Linux ist längst zu einer auch für die breite Masse formidablen Alternative zu #Windows avanciert, die auch auf solch älteren Rechnern tadellos läuft."

Doschauher, im Standard schreiben sie sowas? Linux scheint jetzt endlich mal in der Masse anzukommen. Ich arbeitete darauf seit Jahrzehnten. 😉

The two #FOSS #scanner apps i'd installed in his KFedora VM are #Skanlite & #SimpleScan. This morning i found another possibility for him, & have emailed about it to him, asking if he'd like me to also install it for him to evaluate; #VueScan flathub.org/en-GB/apps/com.ham . I wrote the email with heavy heart, & kinda sorta hope he declines the offer, coz this is #Proprietary, not #FOSS, which i always prefer to eschew.

From infosec.space/@MsDropbear42/11, five days ago :

I've shown them to dad, & asked him to play around with them over the weekend to familiarise himself with them, & hopefully satisfy himself that they will suffice

An hour ago i rang him for a quick update. He's continued to diligently work away each day in the KFedora VM, practising with OnlyOffice, Spectacle [for screenshots then manipulations], & his printer + scanner. He still sounds cautiously pleased & hopeful that this penguin caper could be a goer to replace his dying win10.

I am thus cautiously inclined to prospectively indulge in a wee 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️

🤞 🤞 🤞

So, people say #linux is bad at handling multi #monitor setups, #windows does it much better. That's simply a lie. a) Linux got much better at it b) Windows got much worse at it. With my 2x4k monitors on #win10 laptop I get:
- One or both monitors not turning on, only laptop screen.
- One display being rendered on one half of the second one.
- Irratic blinking or static on the second monitor
- Resolution of the second monitor stuck at potato
- Display configuration resets

No problems on Linux.

Me be trying, hoping, wishing, to persuade dad to let me finally convert his win10 pc to Linux [+ a permanently offline win10 VM for his proprietary pgms that ofc do not run in Linux, & for which he won't or can't let me convert him to FOSS equivalents], instead of doing the feared upgrade to win11, sometime in the coming months. 🤞 🤞 🤞

I've not had time yet to read all these, but so many of the links here seem to portray win11 as total tripe & hideous horror... which IMO would be some achievement given i loathed win10 from the start, so if 11 is actually even worse than 10, then... OMZ 😱

I managed to fix the #SQLite issue.

So far the #curl problem eludes me.
Curl checks if the connection is established using select().

On #Win10 this eventually returns 1, on #win98 it always returns 0.

I checked with a self made endpoint and the connection is established. Only cf_tcp_connect()->SOCKET_WRITABLE()->Curl_socket_check()->Curl_poll()->our_select()->select() never sees it 😥

Up to now I have always had a #Win7/10 box on my workbench for everything #embedded. I wanted an alternative to my workstation, in case I fry something. Right now it is a refurbished i3 for 60eur. #Win11 will not run on that thing, but I won't throw a perfectly good computer away when #win10 support ends.

So I checked if all my HW/SW I usually need has a #Linux alternativ and guess what: The only thing I have not found a replacement for is my feel-good #Git client Sourcetree 🤣
