Windows 8 (2012) vs KDE Plasma 6.4 (2025)

I just discovered that the set of Windows 386 disk images, I had found on WinWorldPC a few days ago, were damaged and couldn't install the CGA graphics driver. Luckily, I was able to fix it to reveal this beautiful b/w mode of Windows 2.1. So Classy!

Do you think governments should move towards using a Linux distro for computer systems rather than windows?

Please boost for maximum exposure.

Quand je pense à toutes ces collectivités, notamment départements et régions, qui ré-inventent la roue avec des produits Microsoft alors que nous avons 2 solutions souveraines pour gérer les postes informatiques de #collèges et #lycées :

- @eole qui produit ScribeAD,
- @SambaEdu qui produit un serveur pédagogique pour tout faire...

Cela me désespère cette gabegie ! Ils mériterait une augmentation des frais de licences MS !

Even though it looks kinda horrible, as soon as you get used to it, Windows 2.1 seems surprisingly usable. It's definitely better than just MS-DOS. I just wish I could get it to work with a higher screen resolution.

Europe needs its freedom from US tech: RISC-V-based computers running #Linux (created 100% in EU), Risc-V-based phones running a totally forked version of #Android, and the fediverse as its social media along other #opensource tech.

No more #Windows or #Google, no more spyware Chinese hardware, no ARM either (owned by Japan now), no more big corporations running our social life through AI algorithms.

Ich brauche #fedihelp beim Umstieg von #Windows auf #Linux
Ich habe jetzt -unfreiwillig- ein paar Tage Freizeit und will den alten PC endlich auf Linux umbauen. Welche Distribution ist sinnvoll für einen Nichtcrack (aber nicht völlig unerfahren. Ich hatte im Jahr 2000 eine SuSE Distri auf meinem Rechner zu Hause, musste sie dann aber wegen Schwierigkeiten mit Schnittstellen zu meinem Arbeitsrechner, einem Mac und den uni-üblichen Windows-Präsentations-Laptops aufgeben)? Es sollen noch

#Blind people who use #Matrix, particularly on #Windows, is #Element the most #accessible client? I've been getting into it because a lot of communities for #SelfHosted services use it, but I don't find Element the easiest to navigate, so I'm wondering if there are other options.

So, Microsoft ist jetzt hier Vergangenheit

Lang lebe Linux!

Edit: Auch noch alle Microsoft-Accounts gelöscht

Ok just found another instance of notepad being a password holder.
Listen, never put passwords to notepad - Beginning with Windows 11 it keeps the password in on-disk cache if you only close notepad.

Looking for software recommendation...
I'm looking for a remote desktop solution to help others with computer issues. My side needs to run on #Linux, other side needs to run on #Windows, and to a lesser extent, #Linux as well.
Setting up the connection needs to be noob friendly on their side. I have an extremely strong preference for FOSS.

So far, I have not had fun experiences with remote desktop even just controlling my own machines.
