Nice to see governments finally trying to make/support FOSS

Would be a good annual reminder that all of this has taken hard work, and a good opportunity to raise funds. I’d totally go through all my favourite projects to write a thank you somewhere

Thank you

Back in networking classes we used to have entire rooms of replicated machines, all with contiguous addresses and same logins. We wrote a script to ssh into every computer of the room and eject and retract all the disk drives at the same time, it was wonderful ✨

I have a windows 10 gaming rig hooked to my TV, which I only power up for gaming. I figured out it was a good compromise to install windows on this one instead of dealing with Nvidia issues and other tweaks on linux, even though I dual-booted bazzite and boot it every now and then to see if I can play my games on it and motivate myself into switching.

As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

A Raspberry Pi with a touchscreen should be enough, I can’t think of a cheaper alternative

I’d say more than 10 years now. Computers evolved a lot more between the 90s and the 00s than between the 00s and now, my old laptop is 10 years old and it’s still perfectly running linux, and I hope it will keep running for years.

The problem is more hardware obsolescence, it’s a Acer so every part of it is slowly falling apart (keyboard, screen, battery) and OEM parts are impossible to find after all those years. I guess this problem is less important for desktop.
