But don’t install ubloatu as it won’t be better than windows. Especially I recommend installing Fedora or something similar.
Do you have a slow Windows PC? This is how you fix it.
Step 1: Get a USB drive around 8 GB in size.
Step 2: Download Linux
Step 3: Backup files
Step 4: Install Linux and make sure Windows is gone from your system when you it.
Step 5: You're welcome.

Google's plan to block unverified apps is a 'rug pull' on the 3 billion people who chose Android for its openness. Don't let them turn your phone into a walled garden. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social #KeepAndroidOpen keepandroidopen.org
Keep Android Open
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Windows XP Version 2007 itself is a mod, that imagines if MS did bring a major overhaul to XP instead of doing Vista.

Windows 11 is testing a new "Cloud rebuild" feature that lets you reset your PC without a USB drive, and Microsoft added it as an option rather than forcing a cloud-only future on us.
As physical media fades, I wish Sony would get the memo.

Sony is killing physical media, but Microsoft is showing how digital choices should work

I'd like to see this kind of feature in context of the tablet-designed OS, but not the desktop-designed OS. It'd be easier to just reinstall the OS from USB stick, as we've done in the past. Regarding the ARM version, sure, why not? But about the x64 version, it's another story.

Honestly, I didn't knew about the existance of this CLI utillity in macOS.
The macOS has included for AGES an utillity, called "caffeinate", which was designed for keeping your Mac awake forever or for custom chosen time.
You can try out the utillity even to those days if you have a Mac computer.

Mac OS X trivia facts day 1:
Did you knew about the special UI network-related tools configuration utility, that was pre-installed on all OS X versions until Big Sur? The utility provided easy to use UI for command line tools such as ping and others.

New video! In 2012, Microsoft unveiled the Surface. But 4 years earlier, they unveiled... the Surface. And this was no tablet, it was a 200lb computer with a massive projection-based screen that was made for use by businesses. And I happened to track down (part of) one!

Had no idea about that thing until this video. Very cool review ! The Microsoft Surface (literally the surface of the table :/) first gen interface is extremely well designed in the Frutiger Aero style with mainly dark and pink colours featured. And therefore I kinda like it.

Talking with Mary Jo earlier about the fact I still never knew what happened to the XP documentary footage.
Alas, the actual documentary was completely tossed due to the way it would’ve portrayed the Windows org.
I think people would’ve appreciated the candor of it. That’s why I don’t do PR.

The escargot project is very cool and had let me experience the msn messenger as it was a thing back in the days. I had my profile from it lying somewhere, will try to log in and use it on actual legacy windows pc for true vibes.
