How do I open an exe file in Mint ya smelly nerds??
You can’t run an exe on Linux
Idiot /s
Install Bottles.
Add it to steam as a non-Steam game and turn on proton for it
Vim or wine. Depends on what you call “open”.
For those who aren’t already aware, you can continue to get Windows 10 security updates after EOS, as well as updates for legacy windows systems, with 0patch. That’s what I plan on doing. https://0patch.com/
I thought they specifically planned to end the security updates to force people to use win11
They are not ending support for some evil plot to force people to use win11. They just don’t want to support win10 forever. The exact same thing has happened to every other windows version and most Linux distros and lots of other stuff like servers and networking hardware.
it would feel less evil if win11 wasnt so full of awful and downgraded features.
That’s just incompetence. It’s not like they are laughing with the devil because people can’t place the taskbar at the top anymore.
Microsoft is going to stop providing updates, but 0patch is specifically providing security patches after EOS so that people don’t have to upgrade to Windows 11.
You can also overcome your Stockholm syndrome and ditch the trash for good.
Hey don’t bash Excel, it can run Linux too, although heavily stripped Risc-V version.
They made a RISC-V version of Excel???
Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead
That’s a pretty sweet sword I hope it doesn’t need to see any action
Don’t worry, much like the person wielding it, it will never see any action.
I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care… They’ll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014…
After years of suffering under Microsoft’s bugs, you’re ready to have your own bugs no one can help you with.
I’ve switched to Debian GNU/Linux, because I figured out it’s easier to manage than modern Windows anyways.
I’ve ended up taking notes on personal MediaWiki instance on various Unix/GNU commands, and various other stuff.
Also ended up finding 7 bugs (for now) mostly in APT/Aptitude and their documentation (didn’t report them yet).
Don’t mind me, I am just a self-diagnosed autist (lmao).
Why did you bold?
“Linux will never supplant windows” naysayers in shambles.
I’ll just ask chatgpt instead of being told LMGTFY and RTFM
why spend time googling dozens of half-related forum issues when chatgpt can average all those half-related issues in one plausible-looking reply. just think of the time saved.
Rtfm?
“Read The Fucking Manual” (sometimes seen as “Read the Fscking Manual”) I remember saying it back in the day when I was annoyed that the answer could be found in the documentation while someone is asking others what something means, how it works, or having a common problem.
I now see it as quite pretentious of a reply and I now don’t reply if I can’t also be helpful.
Support for mine ended the day I unplugged it from the net 4 years ago
Windows is the virus.
This isn’t the original image and that sword doesn’t really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?
The original:
Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.
I see what you did there. Would that I were a sword nerd. I was just googling the original because I couldn’t remember how it went and noticed it had an entirely different dude in it.
Gimp = green is my pepper
As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.
I use both, and I understand the whole TPM thing and why they’re requiring it…
I think this is very cringe.
Linux has its uses, and benefits. But I see a lot of Windows stuff through my work.
It is a meme? 😒😒😒
No, it’s a very serious post that has to be taken literally.
Autism intensifies
While y’all were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.
