Dislike

We've not run unmodded Windows for very long time.

On Win 10 :Windows_10_Logo: , we used:

On Win 11 :Windows_11_Logo: , we use:

Had to enable so many new options in StartAllBack to get basic functionality back, but still can't find way to close windows with wheel-mouse-click whilst using StartAllBack. (Windhawk can do it, but not if using StartAllBack.)

A reminder that EU_OS is a soft-fork of IBM's Fedora Linux, the free upstream to IBM's CentOS and Red Hat Linux, which are all under U.S. Jurisdiction.

If you want true digital sovereignty, you should pick an operating system that is either a hard-fork, no longer following an upstream distribution, or an independent distribution build from scratch, either of which should be outside U.S. Jurisdiction.

Final reminder about Office 2016/2019, VS2015, and Windows 10 EOL

As we are getting closer to the October 14th, 2025, which is going to be the day that Microsoft ends complete support for the below four major products, we are going to give you the final reminder about the below products:

  • Office 2016
  • Office 2019
  • Visual Studio 2015
  • Windows 10

Office 2016 and 2019 brought many changes to the office suite that made productivity easier, including improvements across several areas of the office suite, including the three most famous apps from the suite: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, alongside all the other bundled office applications like OneNote and Visio. They were released on September 22nd, 2015, and September 24th, 2018, respectively.

Visual Studio 2015 was released to make your IDE more powerful than before, because it brought many new features and improvements, such as more refactoring options, Entity Framework 7 preview, and better support for displays greater than 96 DPI. It was released on July 20th, 2015.

Windows 10 was released to not only bring new features and many user-level enhancements, including redesigns, but also addresses the common complaints that users were facing at the time that Windows 8 was released, such as bringing back the older start menu style found in Windows 7 instead of the full-screen Metro screen style that Windows 8 introduced. It was promised that Windows 10 would be the last Windows version at the time of the release, which was in July 29th, 2015, before Windows 11 made its appearance in October 5th, 2021.

Here’s the full list of the products that will go out of support on October 14th, 2025:

If you are using one of those products found in the list, please perform the appropriate upgrades, such as upgrading to Windows 11, upgrading your PC, or using Linux, of which the latter is more economical (yet needs adaptation and/or change) than the former two, to continue receiving support.

Gestern haben wir zusammen #LinuxMint, neben #Windows10, auf dem alten Laptop vom Schwiegersohn installiert.

Ganz löschen wollte er Windows noch nicht.

Die Installation war kein Problem. Ich hatte einen USB Stick vorbereitet. Vor der Installation haben wir die Windows Partition verkleinert, weil er Windows erstmal noch behalten wollte.

Bin gespannt ob er sich mit der Zeit von Windows lösen kann.
