Must of have

Also, Win10 IoT LTSC has guaranteed support into 2032.

Absolutely love the Vonng (sp?) Stories! Don’t exist in the force? Let’s see what a grandson of Vader has to say about that after weeks in the cradle! Oh, what? Found them? Bam!

I also love that the first SW novel I read was Rogue Planet. Really great tie-in with the YV storylines.

However, Linux kernel 6.14 is yet another short-lived branch that will be supported for a couple of months, which means that it will probably reach end of life sometime in May 2025. If you’re looking for long-term support, you should use either Linux kernel 6.12 LTS or Linux kernel 6.6 LTS, both of which are supported until December 2026.

There only problem being that 90% of webpages fail to load properly without JS, not to mention the ones that depend on features that aren’t available LW enhanced protection enabled. Each page I visit, I have to create exceptions or they sit there blank.

It’s ZDNet, so, probably. CNET and others have, so why not the once-popular shell of itself, ZDNet, too?

It’s :checksnotes: sarcasm.

windows phone was a joke

No. It was leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. They just sat on their hands and didn’t do anything with it, allowing Google, RiM and Apple to steamroll them.

And to blame Microsoft (which – don’t get me wrong – is hugely evil and truly is the cause behind many of the problems you properly identify) for all of the tech problems without a hat tip to IBM is missing some important details. IBM showed the tech world that if you use your war chest to drag out a legal battle long enough, you will eventually get a president in power (Reagan) that you own enough to dismiss all claims. That’s how Microsoft got off without even a fine for all their antitrust violations. They played the long game and George W. waved a hand, making the enforcement effort go away.

Mint!

Exactly how my cats do. Gums must be involved.

Thx again for the reply. Adding PPA’s is pointed to as a no-no for Debian stable, otherwise I would add it in a heartbeat.

I may have described my situation poorly to explain the MX relationship with Debian 12. The base is Debian 12 Bookworm:

Distro: MX-23.5_ahs_x64 Libretto May 19  2024 base: Debian GNU/Linux 12
    (bookworm)

MX is currently on Debian 12 Bookworm, but I can select backports or testing from the package manager:

Thanks. I tried this with Meson and Ninja, and it kept requiring more and more build and make tools that reported broken dependencies, so I got worried I’d brick something else.

I downloaded the nightly from the mailing list and tried to build but… I’m out of my wheelhouse.

Thx for the reply!

My AHS version includes the 6.13.7-2 kernel, but the testing repo (MX anyway) doesn’t show a newer version of Mesa.

For sure, but I worry that Amazon would see that as just cause to terminate my account, and I have some video and music purchases I’d lose access to. In the end, maybe that’s the cost of safety in this marketplace, but it sure is getting hard to shop these days…
