and your new PC⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2025 Quoting: 5 free Linux distros built for speed and power - and your new PC | ZDNET — For the longest time, it was assumed that Linux was only meant for older PCs and various hardware (GPU, sound, networking, etc.). Over the years, Linux developers have caught up and proved that assumption wrong. Now, there are several Linux distributions that function perfectly with newer hardware, and there's certain to be one that would suit your needs. But what makes a Linux distribution work well with modern hardware? First off, the kernel. Even with the standard kernel reaching the point where it's very good at hardware detection, there are kernels specifically geared toward new technology. Kernels like the HWE (Hardware Enablement), Zen, and even the most recent mainline kernel are great for new hardware. On top of that, you want to use a distribution that supports official GPU drivers for both NVIDIA and Radeon hardware.

Btrfs has already been available in AlmaLinux OS Kitten since early September, and with version 10.1, it’s becoming part of the mainline experience. Btrfs is a modern Copy-on-Write (CoW) filesystem that offers advanced features and strong data protection. It provides snapshotting, built- in volume management, checksumming for data and metadata, transparent compression, and efficient copying through reflinks. With this update, once released, users will be able to install AlmaLinux 10.1 using Btrfs right from the start. During installation, selecting custom partitioning lets you choose a Btrfs partitioning scheme instead of the traditional XFS + LVM configuration. Once installed, AlmaLinux will run on a Btrfs volume, unlocking support for snapshots, subvolumes, and other advanced filesystem features.

Here is what’s new and how to upgrade. § What’s new We tried to address a couple of things in this_release, mainly support for lockable strategy, improving locale files, and fixing Hotwire and Remember me support. On top we refactored some code, cleaned up ERB views, and added Rubocop and linting. * ⚓ LWN ☛ Valkey_9.0.0_released⠀⇛ Version_9.0.0 of the Valkey distributed key-value database has been released. * ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ RustDesk_Released_1.4.3_with_Multi-Monitor_for Wayland_&_Virtual_Mouse⠀⇛ RustDesk, the popular free open-source remote desktop software, released version 1.4.3 few days ago. RustDesk is yet another remote desktop solution written in Rust, which works in Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and web browser. It features peer-to-peer encrypted connection and self-hosting server support. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Tinkercad_Continues_To_Grow_Up⠀⇛ It is easy to write off Tinkercad as a kid’s toy. It is easy enough for kids to learn and it uses bright colors looking more like a video game than a CAD tool. We use a variety of CAD tools, but for something quick, sometimes Tinkercad is just the ticket. Earlier this year, Tinkercad got a sketch feature, something many other CAD programs have and, now, you can even revolve the sketch to form complex objects.

Now it is starting to take shape, as Ryan outlined in the soft launch blog post: Both staging and production Forgejo instances are up and running in the RDU3 datacenter. That means the work of moving away from pagure.io is no longer theoretical. It is happening. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Overcoming_the_cost_and_complexity_of_AI_inference at_scale⠀⇛ AI inference—the process of using a trained model to generate an output—is the most resource-intensive and costly part of an AI application, especially because it happens constantly during production. Inefficient inference can compromise an AI project's potential return on investment (ROI) and negatively impact customer experience due to high latency. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Learn_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Virtualization_concepts_from a_VMware_Admin_Background_with_this_learning_path⠀⇛ The high-level guide to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization as a VMware admin learning path is designed to bridge the learning gap many face when moving from traditional virtualization solutions to Kubernetes workflows. This blog provides a glimpse into what's included in the path so you can take on OpenShift Virtualization with confidence. * ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_Discover_cut_$1.4_million_from_its_annual_AWS budget_in_two_game_days⠀⇛ Anyone who's ever touched a public cloud has likely encountered an accidental overage payment. That's a problem, but it's even more problematic that it's deceptively easy to overlook a single instance of this when you're dealing in hundreds at a time. At Discover, the financial services company recently acquired by Capital One, developers found a way to solve their overage problems—and implement serious cost savings. It’s not surprising that a company offering credit cards would understand the value of cost optimization in the cloud. What is surprising, however, is that in those two days, they managed to cut their cloud bill by $1.4 million each year. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 597 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/Free_and_Open_Source_Software.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free and Open Source Software⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Wrapper⦈_ * ⚓ Oracle_-_AUR_Helper_Wrapper_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Oracle is a modern graphical user interface wrapper for AUR helpers and Pacman.

This phone sports a powerful Mediatek Dimensity 7050 with 8 cores, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. In this series I explore the phone, and in particular, focus on its operating system in detail. I’ll explore the things I love about Ubuntu Touch as well as things that could be improved. Ubuntu Touch 20.04 hasn’t been plain sailing. While there’s so much I love about the operating systems, there have been a few annoyances along the way. One of the main headaches relates to Dekko. That’s a native email client for Ubuntu Touch which lets you configure multiple accounts and for several identities. Despite trying ever possible setting, I was unable to coax Dekko to work with my IMAP servers. And I really tried every permutation under the sun. * ⚓ bibref_-_discover_internal_references_in_the_Bible_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ bibref is a tool that helps discovering internal references in the Bible. It aims at finding citations of the Septuagint in the Greek New Testament in a mechanical way. Background The Bible, a book that has been translated into many languages, is maybe the most important book has ever existed. Believers have evidence that it is God’s word, written by various people being inspired by God himself. The Bible has many internal references. Many of them connect the two parts of the Bible: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The books of the Old Testament are usually written in Hebrew, while the books of the New Testament are Greek. A natural question can arise: How can Hebrew texts be cited in the Greek text? * ⚓ Yesser_Calculator_-_extensible_calculator_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Yesser Calculator is an extensible calculator app made using .NET and Avalonia.

It was born to defend a principle: that every user deserves to be in control of their computing. The message has been simple: your comnputer should obey you, not the other way around. This principle is enshrined in four essential freedoms, which together form a bill of rights for every computer user. They're the pillars of a just and empowered digital society. The software has always been the vehicle for this idea, and choosing software built on these principles is a declaration that you value your freedom. This founding message is more vital than ever. As the movement enters its fifth decade, now's the perfect moment to recommit, to amplify our voice, and to double down on the foundational message of user rights that has driven us from the very beginning. In the busy lives of those that are unaware of free software, it can seem natural to make software decisions based on other factors, like convenience. Someone unaware of the issues might be drawn to a proprietary program because it has a polished interface, an appealing feature, or some other aspect. These are practical considerations, but they're also the trap. When we evaluate software solely on its surface-level features, we risk becoming transient users, adrift in a sea of options. A person might use a free software application today simply because it's effective or costs nothing. But without an understanding of the ethical principles that make that software different, they're left philosophically unmoored. When a proprietary program comes along with a shinier design or a new gadget, what reason do they have to stay? They may switch back, trading away their freedom for a fleeting advantage without ever realizing what they've lost.

I started my journey with Linux Mint around five months ago, back when I was a Windows fanboy. Since then, I have moved and settled on Fedora KDE Plasma. When I run an article discussing my Linux findings, people in the comments are quick to bring up Arch Linux. Sometimes they mention something like endeavourOS, and sometimes they just flat-out recommend Arch itself. It got to the point where I was curious about Arch Linux. And yes, I could install something like EndeavourOS and call it a day, but I really wanted to see if I could get the base Arch Linux working on my spare laptop. If push comes to shove and everything blows up in my face, the worst-case scenario is that I just use EndeavourOS instead. So, let's dive in and see what happens!

Produced in Salford from 1948 until the 1960s, it looks like something that should be used while wearing a lab coat, a spacesuit or perhaps in a submarine. And so, of course, it was. It was what would today be called ‘dual use’: the Geiger-counter attachment (now very rare) was available for purchase by members of the public, but certain other attachments were not. It is best, even today, not to discuss these attachments in a forum not all of whose readers may have the appropriate clearance and I will therefore not mention them further here, but describe only the photographic applications of the device. I cannot comment on whether I am in possession of any of these attachments. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1447 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/Open_Hardware_Modding_RISC_V_Retro_and_Linux.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/Open_Hardware_Modding_RISC_V_Retro_and_Linux.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Open Hardware/Modding:: RISC-V, Retro, and Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2025 * ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Upbeat_introduces_UP201_and_UP301_ultra-low_power_RISC- V_MCUs_with_always-on_Hey_Hi_(AI)_processing⠀⇛ Upbeat Technology, in collaboration with SiFive, has introduced UP201 and UP301 always-on Hey Hi (AI) MCUs for ultra-low-power Hey Hi (AI) and IoT applications such as wearables, drones, and sensor-based systems. The UP201 is designed for compact, battery-driven devices such as smartwatches, hearing aids, and IoT sensor nodes, whereas the UP301 targets Hey Hi (AI) and vision-based applications for more complex edge systems such as smart glasses, robotics, and industrial Hey Hi (AI) equipment. Both chips feature a dual-core RISC-V architecture. The SiFive E21 lightweight core is Always-On (AON), managing continuous low-power sensing, whereas the SiFive E34 performance core activates for higher workloads. The MCUs also integrate a 2.5D GPU and various I/O options. * ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Atari_just_resurrected_its_most_potent_foe_in_the console_wars_from_45_years_ago,_the_Intellivision_Spirit_—_$149_console comes_with_45_games,_was_brought_into_the_Atari_fold_through_IP acquisition_last_year⠀⇛ Atari has taken retro gamers by surprise with its announcement of the Intellivision Sprint- a console celebrating 45 years of its old foe. * ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Open_Source_Hack_Lets_The_Razer_Nari_Headset_Work_With Linux⠀⇛ The Razer Nari is a decent wireless headset, but it’s a little oddball—because it uses a bespoke USB dongle for pairing. This is all well and good if you’re using a supported configuration; plug it into a Windows PC, run the utility, and you’re good to go.

Vim is now very popular and has spawned numerous successors. But its key feature, modes, is not obviously-beneficial, to the point that if Bill Joy didn't make vi (vim's direct predecessor) fifty years ago I don't think we'd have any modal editors today. * ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ A_royal_gold_medal⠀⇛ I am of course humbled and greatly honored to have been selected as a receiver of said award this year.

Not too shabby for a wannabe-engineer like myself who did not even attend university. * ⚓ Nelson Elhage ☛ Solving_Regex_Crosswords_with_Z3⠀⇛ For a while now, I’ve been fascinated by Z3 and by SMT solving more broadly. While on pat leave recently, I was reminded of the existence of regular-expression crossword puzzles, and allowed myself to get nerdsniped by writing a Z3-backed solver. I expected to spend perhaps an afternoon cranking out a quick solver; I ended up getting sucked into understanding and debugging Z3 performance, and learning far more about Z3 and about SMT than I expected. * ⚓ Rlang ☛ Rfuzzycoco_released_on_CRAN⠀⇛ My Rfuzzycoco package just hit the CRAN: https://cran.r- project.org/web/packages/Rfuzzycoco/index.html !! Publishing to CRAN is a rigorous process, and it was particularly challenging as this package includes custom C++ code. * § Perl / Raku⠀➾ o ⚓ Eskild Hustvedt ☛ The_joy_of_rediscovering_Perl⠀⇛ So, since I wanted to get away from the node-ecosystem, and my static site generator was written in JS, I thought I would try my hand at writing one in Perl. This is the most fun I've had writing code for years. It's just so nice to write. o ⚓ [Old] The Effective Perler ☛ Use_v5.20_subroutine_signatures_– The_Effective_Perler⠀⇛ Perl’s roots were in simplicity and getting started as quickly as possible. We wanted to define subroutines without much work. Instead of creating signatures in a C header file and worrying about inputs and outputs, Larry made subroutines take in lists and return lists. Done and done. This simplicity means you have to do quite a bit of work yourself. You have to process the input list, in @_, assign your own default values, and declare the variables to possibly store them. You ended up not saving much for the typical programmer. o ⚓ Geeks For Geeks ☛ Function_Signature_in_Perl⠀⇛ A Perl function or subroutine is a group of statements that together perform a specific task. In every programming language user want to reuse the code. So the user puts the section of code in function or subroutine so that there will be no need to write code again and again. In Perl, the terms function, subroutine, and method are the same but in some programming languages, these are considered different. The word subroutines is used most in Perl programming because it is created using keyword sub. Whenever there is a call to the function, Perl stops executing all its program and jumps to the function to execute it and then returns back to the section of code that it was running earlier. One can avoid using the return statement. Defining Subroutines: The general form of defining the subroutine in Perl is as follows- * § Python⠀➾ o ⚓ Chris Holdgraf ☛ The_slow_boring_of_hard_boards_in_open_source⠀⇛ Python recently adopted PEP 751 for lockfile specification.

Two were almost literally dumped on our home, cluttering the entrance. They're about as tall and me and taller by far than Microsoft's OOXML. By their clients' own admission, some other party (or parties) funds these lawyers. So it would appear they act as a proxy, or instrumentalised as we explained this_morning. To repeat: "A Web site called Gawker published a correct and amicable article about a billionaire, Thiel, being gay. Thiel couldn't sue Gawker for anything, so instead he bankrolled the lawsuit of Hogan, drowning Gawker in legal bills." By their own disclosure to the Court this past January, they're already north of 500,000 pounds for their own legal bills (including VAT), not counting the bills of the_serial_strangler_from_Microsoft. All in all, one can reasonably estimate they've already spent close to a million dollars just trying_to_remove_pages_from_this_site, in vain. Even a million bucks didn't do that. When_asked_who's_paying_their_bills_they_refused to_answer. They try to overcompensate with sheer volume for a lack of solid, clear arguments (we are the victims here [1, 2]). Judges do not have time to read so many boxes full of papers; these lawyers try to drown out our own arguments with decrees. They've also made it abundantly clear that they use Microsoft software to prepare this (as_usual); American software, American clients, with an American president who fancies_pouring_out_diarrhoea_on_the_American_people. █ Related: Brett_Wilson_LLP_Spreads_Trumpism_to_the_United_Kingdom,_Looking_to Profit_From_'Legal_Colonialism'_(Overriding_Sovereignty) |

chain that began in a parked car and ended in corporate Linux servers and ESXi hypervisors. Call it a BYOC — a bring-your-own-car attack. And it required only a few cheap gadgets. The key (pun intended) was the driver's phone — using the car to reach the phone, then using the phone to reach the company's network. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ F5_hack_highlights_persistent_supply_chain security_concerns⠀⇛ The F5 breach targets a "foundational technology" relied upon by government agencies and critical infrastructure operators. > * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Over_73,000_WatchGuard_Firebox_Devices_Impacted_by Recent_Critical_Flaw⠀⇛ Affecting the Fireware OS iked process, the vulnerability can lead to remote code execution and does not require authentication. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ CISA_Warns_of_Exploited_Apple,_Kentico,_Abusive Monopolist_Microsoft_Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Leading to code execution, authentication bypass, and privilege escalation, the flaws were added to CISA’s KEV list. * ⚓ Security Week ☛ Government,_Industrial_Servers_Targeted_in_China-Linked ‘PassiveNeuron’_Campaign⠀⇛ A threat actor has been infecting servers of high-profile entities with backdoors to exfiltrate information and deploy additional payloads. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ A_Cybersecurity_Merit_Badge⠀⇛ Scouting America (formerly known as Boy Scouts) has a new_badge in cybersecurity.

That's easy—the configuration of mod_blog differ between my development server and public server. On my public server, I have the following bit of code in the configuration: [...] o ⚓ Stéphane_Graber:_The_FuturFusion_Cloud_stack⠀⇛ Besides my regular open source contributions and running my own consulting business (Zabbly), I’m also the CTO and co-founder of an Open Source company called FuturFusion where I’ve been running Engineering for well over a year now. My main focus over there has been building the FuturFusion Cloud stack, a completely open-source private cloud solution built around Incus. As part of that, our engineering team has been hard at work over the past year or so, improving Incus itself but also building a number of other projects from the ground up to make it easy to build and operate large scale Incus deployments. * § Kernel Space⠀➾ o ⚓ The New Stack ☛ How_To_Get_Bare-Metal_GPU_Performance_in Confidential_VMs⠀⇛ Kata, for those of you who don’t know, is an open source project that combines lightweight VMs with container runtimes. It uses hardware virtualization technology to launch a separate VM for each container, providing strong isolation between containers. Each container, in turn, runs a minimal, stripped-down Linux kernel. Kata Containers aim to offer the performance benefits of containers along with the security and workload isolation of VMs. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Install_local_deb_packages_in_woofQ2⠀⇛ Forum member IOwt3ch posted about a deb package that works in Easy Excalibur: https://forum.puppylinux.com/ viewtopic.php?p=158146#p158146 IOwt3ch is interested in remastering, to produce a custom EasyOS drive-image file; however, Easy no longer has remastering tools. Instead, I recommend to use woofQ2, which gives very precise control of building your own EasyOS -- you could even give it a different name. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME_Tour_in_openSUSE_and_welcome_app⠀⇛ As a follow up of the Hackweek_24_project, I've continued working on the gnome-tour fork for openSUSE with custom pages to replace the welcome application for openSUSE distributions. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Krkn-AI:_A_feedback-driven_approach_to_chaos engineering⠀⇛ Chaos engineering is the practice of deliberately introducing controlled failures into a system to uncover weaknesses before they affect end users. By continuously running chaos experiments, teams can build greater confidence in their systems and identify real performance bottlenecks. However, applying chaos in real-world environments can be challenging due to the complex, dynamic nature of applications and infrastructure, especially in environments like Kubernetes. In this article, we introduce Krkn-AI, a project that addresses these challenges by providing a framework for AI-assisted, objective-driven chaos testing. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ How_to_import_provider_network_routes_to OpenShift_via_BGP⠀⇛ This article demonstrates how you can import provider network routes into Red_Hat_OpenShift Virtualization with border gateway protocol (BGP). As cloud-native and hybrid environments grow, so do networking demands. OpenShift needs robust, dynamic networks, which BGP provides. This integration overcomes traditional Kubernetes networking limits by enabling dynamic routing. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Distribution_Release:_Clonezilla_Live_3.3.0- 33⠀⇛ Clonezilla Live is a Debian-based distribution for duplicating and restoring disk images and partitions.

Because it's intuitive to press "Start" to finish work. Right? After Microsoft had weakened IBM (by cheating) it was trying to acquire a market monopoly in operating systems. It did, in fact, significantly increase its "market footprint". At the time, GNU/Linux distros started to become visible, but many saw them as a way to replace expensive, proprietary UNIX. There was no KDE or GNOME yet. █ ⣿⡿⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣻⣿⣻⣛⣛⣛⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿ ⣿⣹⣿⣿⣯⢻⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣼⣻⣻⢟⣏⡫⣿⣿⣟⣽⢩⠋⣽⢹⢹⢫⠋⡯⡟⣃⣿⡆⣤⠀⠘⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⢿⣿ ⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⢧⢻⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢻⣧⣦⣬⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⣱⣿⠀⠸⣿⣛⣻⣿⠿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡻⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡇⣿⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣻⣷⡈⠩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⡀⠀⠐⠲⠾⣿⣿⣛⣻⣎⠃⣿⣿⠀⢘⣿⠉⠛⠃⠃⠶⢶⣖⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⢌⣿⣇⣿⣼⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡆⠀⢸⣿⣖⣿⣿⣦⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣶⣦⢠⢀⡀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⠿⠿⠛⠿⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡙⢷⣮⣝⠻⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⡾⣿⡿⣿⣿⣭⣿⡟⠛⠉⢀⣀⠜⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣶⣿⠀⠈⢹⣿⡞⡄⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠱⣜⢿⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⢟⡛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣤⣙⠻⣽⣶⣭⡉⢭⢙⠻⣿⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣇⠀⡇⡏⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣾⣿⠀⢀⣜⣳⢇⢸⣿⡶⠶⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⠸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣭⣤⣝⠻⠿⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣽⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⣾⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢥⠙⣿⡇⣿⣿ ⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣝⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡶⢩⠄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠗⣨⣴⣶⣶⣶⢷⣶⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⡌⠇⣿⣿ ⣿⢨⣭⣍⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡇⡇⠿⠇⠀⢶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣿⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡛⣧⡀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⡆⣿⣿ ⣿⠸⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠁⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣿⣿ ⣿⢸⢶⣮⣭⣍⣙⡛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣋⣥⣥⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠿⠧⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⢸⣿⣶⣭⣛⠿⣿⣿⣶⣮⣭⣙⣛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡯⣡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡙⣮⠿⠀⠲⠿⠷⠶⢶⢀⢸⣿⠹⣿⣿⣿⣅⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣆⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⢸⣿⣷⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢟⣛⡵⢊⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⡾⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⣼⡌⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣎⣿⢰⣦⠻⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠠⠄⠄⢠⠄⣽⣿ ⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣛⣭⡶⠾⢋⣥⡘⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣟⣽⡇⠀⣀⢤⣬⣭⣭⠭⣈⠻⣷⡙⢿⣧⣶⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠸⡿⠟⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣦⣝⣋⣒⣚⣛⣋⣑⣒⣛⣛⣛⣂⣁⠉⠩⠭⠭⣭⣭⣭⣥⣭⠭⠭⠭⡭⠭⠭⠭⣭⣍⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣁⣈⣉⣠⣭⠭⠭⠭⠬⠭⢬⠽⠤⠾⠯⠭⠭⠭⠥⠶⠶⠶⠦⠴⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠭⠽⣭⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⡩⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⢒⢲⡀⠈⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣩⠭⢍⣉⣉⣉⣩⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣮⣭⠻⣿ ⣿⢸⡇⢀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⡟⡿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⢺⣿⢼⣧⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣋⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣸⣿ ⣿⣼⡇⢸⡆⠀⢸⣿⣿⢣⣱⡿⢿⢿⡇⠀⠘⣿⣛⡿⠀⢿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⡿⣻⣿⣮⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⣿⠃⢸⡇⠀⣾⠉⠱⢷⣝⣜⠌⠉⠙⠀⠀⠈⠛⠁⠀⢺⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣷⣏⣿⣿⣧⣯⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⢹⣿ ⡇⣿⠇⢸⡇⠀⠸⠄⣀⣡⣟⢻⣮⡆⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣪⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡛⠍⠂⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠷⠹⣿⣿⣟⣿⢏⣿⣿⡷⢶⣿⡋⢭⣭⣍⢸⣿ ⡇⣿⠀⠘⠁⠀⠀⣷⣝⡿⣧⡼⢟⣼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⡛⢷⣔⠙⠿⣿⣿⢱⠀⠀⠀⣼⣶⣄⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢫⣵⣾⡿⢷⣦⢩⣭⡕⢿⡿⡫⢉⢝⠃⣿⣷⢌⠻⢸⣿ ⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⢟⣅⢷⡶⣨⣻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡃⣿⣦⡙⢷⣦⡊⢁⠏⠀⢀⢀⠈⠻⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⡺⣿⣸⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢑⣊⠿⢟⣛⣛⡛⢃⢕⣾⣿⣰⢸⡷⢮⣄⡌⡙⣶⣅⡾⣿ ⡇⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡇⠈⠛⠈⠃⠈⠁⣎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⡻⣦⡙⡟⡎⠠⠞⠁⠼⠷⠦⢼⣛⣛⣛⡛⢛⣓⡛⣛⣛⣛⢛⣛⣙⡛⡊⣂⡛⠿⢿⣿⠙⠵⠚⠉⠭⡁⠁⠛⠑⢄⢣⢇⣿⣟⣿⠧⣱⢇⣿⣙⡇⣿ ⡇⣿⠀⢸⡆⢀⣾⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⡻⣾⢋⣤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣥⣥⣴⣴⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⡔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠐⠀⢀⠁⠉⠁⠋⢾⣼⣿⣿⠧⣱⡟⣼⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⡇⣿⠀⢸⡇⠹⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⣫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡻⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠤⠄⢤⠤⢀⡀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣇⣱⣿⠑⠛⠛⠛⠇⣿ ⡇⣿⠀⢸⣃⣙⣛⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢏⣄⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⡟⢸⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢛⣫⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⡇⢏⣞⣛⣿⣐⢻⠪⡇⢺⣿⣷⡅⡟⢹⡘⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣫⢿⢱⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⡀⡀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠰⢚⣓⠂⡀⠀⢸⣿ ⣯⡜⣿⣛⢻⢿⢾⠿⣿⢛⢿⢻⠻⢿⡟⣻⣿⣥⣀⡀⠀⢸⣽⡏⡎⠆⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡭⢭⣽⣿⠿⡇⠲⠒⠺⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢁⣿⣷⣾⠀⡇⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣷⡝⣧⣢⣮⣾⣦⣭⡮⢾⣾⣴⠼⡷⠵⣟⢻⢹⣿⡄⢸⣾⠰⡈⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡟⢠⡇⣿⠀⢠⠴⣿⣛⡇⠄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡜⣼⣿⣿⣿⣇⡇⠀⠨⣿ ⡇⡿⣣⣿⡇⣇⣿⣿⣿⣬⣽⣔⣼⣤⣻⣸⣿⢾⡿⣿⡇⢸⢛⢀⠃⠀⠀⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠮⠭⢘⢇⣿⣿⠿⠯⠟⣷⡇⠀⠀⠉⠉⢒⣚⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢁⢠⡄⣿ ⡇⢸⢿⠿⡿⣻⣿⣿⣟⠟⡏⢽⠫⡏⡝⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠁⣸⡰⣖⣴⣀⣀⠀⠀⠊⣩⣭⣥⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣋⣭⣶⣮⣼⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣵⣾⣿⣵⣏⣿⣵⡞⣷⣾⣿⣦⣄⣀⣀⣨⣭⣭⣭⣅⣠⣾⣦⣮⢳⣿ ⣿⢸⣦⣦⣷⣼⣿⣿⢿⢶⡷⠾⡶⣿⣾⣿⠟⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⠶⠖⣒⣒⣒⣒⣶⣶⣶⣒⣒⣒⣒⡲⠶⠯⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⢭⣭⡽⡷⣶⣶⣶⠶⠶⣲⠒⠒⠖⠒⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⠾⠾⠬⠯⠥⠭⣭⣵⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⣭⣝⣻⣷⣫⣠⣻⣜⣧⣶⡗⣿⣿⢣⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⢧⣿⢻⣿⣿⡏⢫⡏⠹⠋⣟⣏⠏⠟⣿⣦⡹⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣫⣶⣿⣿⢿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣷⣬⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢹⣿ ⣿⣗⣿⣿⣧⣝⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣼⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⠷⣷⠿⣶⠿⢾⢶⢿⢟⢿⠿⡷⣮⣝⠿⢿⣿⢻⢏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣯⣭⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣇⣿⢏⣾⡏⣯⢭⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⠺⢙⣨⣚⣘⣿⣤⣸⣘⣸⣘⣧⣟⣿⣿⢳⢸⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⢿⣾⡏⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠫⢟⣛⣛⣛⠻⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢼⣿⡷⢿⣿⢿⢾⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⢿⠿⣿⢛⡟⡻⣿⣿⡟⢟⢛⠏⡿⣼⡏⡗⣿⣻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣤⢻⣿⣟⣛⣛⣻⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⡗⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⣉⠓⠲⠶⣮⣭⣭⣙⣛⡛⠲⠶⢶⣬⡘⣿⣇⠧⣹⣨⣿⣇⣿⣴⣽⣴⣸⣧⣿⣭⣷⣭⣾⣿⣿⣼⣬⣶⣵⣯⢧⢿⣿⣇⢿⣿⢸⣿⢿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣛⠷⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⡎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⡗⣿⠋⠥⠶⠿⠛⣛⣣⣽⣷⣶⣬⣍⣛⡻⠿⢿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣬⡍⣭⢩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣝⡻⣿⢟⣫⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣶⣿⡿⣿⣿⣧⠻⣷⡻⢼⣿⢳⣮⣛⣫⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⣧⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⡧⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠻⣿⣶⣶⣾⣏⣩⠽⡃⣛⣬⣭⣭⣭⣝⣛⡻⠿⠟⣿⣿⡿⠸⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢿⣇⠥⣿⣮⡛⠿⠟⣼⡶⠒⢤⣬⣭⡙⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⣲⢿⣿⣿⣶⣶⡇⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣫⣴⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣿⣿⣿⣶⠁⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣘⣵⡼⠷⣾⠿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⢹⡿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠸⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⢸⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢊⣾⣿⣧⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⠭⣜⠿⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⠗⠁⠀⠙⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⢇⣄⠤⣬⡆⣧⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢿⣟⣿⣿⣟⡃⣿ ⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣨⣭⣛⡛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢣⣾⣇⢿⡆⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣦⢀⣀⢈⣜⣾⣭⣵⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⢿⢸⣾⣿⣿⡗⢿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⣸⣿⣿⢟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣌⠟⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢟⣭⡆⣶⣶⡌⠿⣣⣶⣶⠮⠛⠁⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢟⡻⡋⣿⣷⣝⡻⢿⣷⣤⣾⣿⣿⠟⣼⡿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣾⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⢸⣿⢣⣿⡟⠭⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⣿⣿⣟⣂⡝⢿⣿⣮⠝⢁⣶⣿⣿⠱⠿⣶⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣭⣶⣿⣿⡿⠿⣯⢳⡁⢸⣧⡟⢛⣓⠒⢍⡍⠍⣦⡏⣿⣽⠋⠀⠀⢠⣭⣚⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⢸⡏⣾⣿⣷⣽⣵⣿⠟⡋⢅⣒⡨⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⣀⣠⡞⣿⣿⣿⢩⣴⢻⢁⣼⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⣿⣿⢻⠻⠩⡹⣇⢿⡿⡇⡺⣟⣽⣿⡏⠀⣾⡷⣳⣶⡇⣫⡥⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣷⡹⣿⣿⡇⣿ ⣿⢸⡇⢏⣼⣿⡿⡋⢐⡰⠾⢿⣏⣚⣖⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⢟⣿⣿⣿⣟⠩⣿⣿⣷⣿⣧⡙⢸⡿⢃⢿⣿⣿⣿⢱⣿⡻⡍⠏⣇⣦⣧⣷⣿⣾⡿⣱⢃⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⠟⠑⢿⣿⣇⠉⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⢿⡇⣿ ⣿⢸⣇⢸⣵⢫⢎⣼⡋⠦⠀⣸⠀⠈⢻⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠦⡾⠋⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣏⣻⣿⠟⣊⣤⢻⣮⠻⣿⣿⣌⢿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠿⢟⣫⣭⣶⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢹⣿⣻⣿⡿⠏⢺⡇⣿ ⣿⢸⣿⣜⢿⠁⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⠶⡛⠌⠻⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⢡⢻⣷⠙⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢱⣾⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⠟⠋⠀⣄⠊⣷⣿ ⣿⢸⣿⣿⣜⣐⡩⣷⣿⠟⢳⣮⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡹⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⡿⣠⣛⠿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⡠⢹⢿ ⣿⣜⠿⠿⠿⠿⠑⠭⠂⠉⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣄⣐⠖⣒⣒⣒⣒⣀⡒⢒⡒⣀⡀⣤⣤⣴⡟⠁⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⢣⣿⣿⠽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣐⢚⣛⣵⡜⣸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣥⣭⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣯⣿⣵⣽⣿⣯⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣭⣼⣷⣶⣶⣾ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2329 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/The_Fall_of_Windows_98.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/The_Fall_of_Windows_98.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Fall of Windows: 98⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2025, updated Oct 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GRENDEL_pt4⦈_ As more homes got a residential Internet connection via ISPs Windows_95 needed to offer more utilities and pretend that the Web browser was in fact an integral part of the operating system (that was a lie; it was perpetrated due to the antitrust_case). Windows 98 was not particularly special in any way, but by 1998 there was not much competition left and GNU/Linux was only beginning to gain ground, not only in servers but also some PCs. In years to come GNU/Linux would reach 'peak hype'. Maybe that's because people were tired of unstable, error-prone, and virus-ridden Windows.

After a lot of struggle the company released a DRM prison known as "Vista" (rebranded, remember "Mojave"?). It was an utter failure on so many levels, but Microsoft still enjoyed the market momentum/inertia of the past decade. Soon after that Microsoft decided to leverage software patents to attack what it called the "Most_Potent Operating_System_Competitor”. It tricked Novell into signing a terrible patent deal. Then, Microsoft began trying to milk "Linux" for money (royalties). Vista flopped, so Microsoft needed to focus on attacking the counterpart. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⡿⢿⢻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣵⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠶⣶⢶⡶⣶⣶⣿⣚⣿⢿⣿⡟⣻⢛⣿⢿⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣿⣷⢯⣣⣣⣝⣪⣷⣃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣦⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣇⣮⣆⣏⣦⣯⣷⣹⡨⣽⣿⣿⣏⣿⣼⣰⣣⣿⣿⣿⣽⣧⣷⣽⣧⣿⣰⣽⡇⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢹⡹⠯⢽⢻⡟⡟⡏⣛⢹⠩⣿⣿⡟⣽⡏⣿⢉⡏⡋⡏⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠝⣿⣻⢻⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣫⢿⢯⣽⠙⣿⡍⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⡻⢸⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡮⢷⣮⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⡾⣿⢿⡿⡶⣿⡾⣿⢷⣿⣷⢿⣾⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢿⣿⣷⣼⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣾⢷⣿⣿⣾⣷⡟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣸⣇⣼⣩⣼⣇⣿⣿⣿⣱⣶⣾⣇⣇⣿⣿⣿⣲⣇⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠧⢻⢸⢈⢿⣸⣹⣿⣿⣷⣹⣜⣧⣣⣾⣼⣇⣿⣷⣹⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠯⢹⢩⢻⣏⠝⣟⠟⣯⣻⢫⢻⡹⣿⢫⣽⢹⢻⣿⣭⢹⣏⡋⢹⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣾⠾⢾⡷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⡿⣷⣿⣾⡿⣶⢿⢿⣿⣾⢟⢻⣷⣿⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣨⣿⣸⣸⣐⣇⣇⣿⣿⣽⣿⣼⣿⣿⣧⣇⣮⣸⣿⣿⣴⣸⣿⡟⣾ ⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡤⣤⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⣉⣉⣭⣭⣿⢻⣿⣿⢙⣻⢹⢽⢁⢿⠮⣿⡭⣿⣿⣿⢛⣛⣻⣵⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣯⣵⣒⣢⡤⠄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⣤⠄⠛⠯⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⢦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣏⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣒⢀⠀⠀⢸⣯⡆⠀⠀⠀⠰⣗⠿⠀⣤⣤⠙⠊⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣽⣭⣭⣭⣵⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣏⣭⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣹⣎⡄⠀⢠⠀⡀⠠⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣮⣡⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠚⡸⣽⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠰⣾⣶⣾⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⠫⠑⠲⠆⠘⠛⠃⠠⠶⠀⠀⣠⣠⡽⣿⣿⣿⠠⡔⠛⢿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣯⣷⣿⠟⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣸⣿ ⣿⣫⣿⣿⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡱⣹⡿⣟⠯⠽⠶⣶⣮⣝⢿⣿⡯⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢁⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⠾⢿⣿⢿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢬⢻⡯⣹⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⡻⣮⡿⣷⡴⣿⣭⣗⣶⣿⣷⣮⡻⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠈⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⢩⣸⣼⣧⣝⣟⣝⣻⣿⣇⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣦⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⢨⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣮⡻⣿⣿⣮⡩⣿⣻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⢟⡟⡻⡟⣝⣿⣿⣿⠩⢭⣫⡻⡏⢹⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⠿⢿⣛⣯⡆⣿⠟⠛⠋⠙⢳⣿⣿⣿⠋⠉⠙⠿⣼⢿⣽⣶⣾⣝⢯⡻⣿⣿⣾⣽⣮⡻ ⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⣅⣞⣤⣦⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣽⣼⣷⣥⣭⣧⣽⣿⣿⣿⣾⡿⢷⣾⣧⣷⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡹⣾⣿⣿⣻⣿⠇⣏⣀⠀⠘⢁⣼⣏⣈⣹⣧⡀⠀⠀⣿⣾⣜⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣛⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢿⣿⠈⢿⢛⣯⢻⢐⡏⡞⣗⣽⣸⡇⡵⣿⣿⣿⢈⢸⡇⣇⣃⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⡤⠒⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⠉⠙⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠁⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⠫⣽⡻⣍⡃⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣾⣷⣿⠻⢿⣿⢟⢟⡟⠟⢟⠟⣿⡟⡟⠽⣿⢫⡏⣹⢻⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⡦⠉⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⡄⣾⣿⠿⠷⠶⠶⠶⢤⣤⠀⠘⣿⣿⣼⣯⣼⣽⣯⣵⣧⢾⠷⣿⠶⣷⣶⣿⣷⡷⠿⠷⠿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⠤⠤⠶⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣠⣾⣿⣷⢻⡏⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠱⡃⠀⢿⣞⣘⣍⣇⣯⣺⣸⣧⣧⣤⣷⣶⣟⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠔⠒⢢⡶⣒⡶⢚⣛⡠⠤⠄⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡞⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⡀⠀⠉⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⡃⠈⠀⢸⣹⣛⣻⣿⡌⠙⠛⠛⠲⠶⢦⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⢿⡛⣿⣿⣿⡏⠏⡏⣽⢹⣏⣿⣙⢿⣿⣿⢮⣎⡯⢽⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣏⠇⠀⠀⣾⣏⣿⣸⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣼⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣶⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡸⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣏⢿⣿⣿⢩⡏⣻⢘⣿⣿⣿⣆⣿⣔⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡇⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⣀⣰⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⢧⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣾⣷⡷⢾⣷⢿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢩⡟⠏⡟⡝⡆⣾⣿⣷⠀⠀⢰⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡸⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⡇⠮⣃⢽⣿⣇⣇⣿⣜⣦⣺⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣷⣷⡿⢾⠿⣿⡇⠀⣾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡞⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢧⣿⣷⣿⣻⣿⣽⣿⣿⣻⣵⡄⠀⠀⠀⣿⢿⢿⣿⣟⡟⡻⡏⣽⣿⣿⣹⢸⣈⡏⣫⢠⣷⡇⣝⣇⣽⡸⣺⣇⢰⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠴⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⣶⣶⣯⣝⣻⣿⣞⢿⣿⡀⠀⠀⣻⣿⣮⣼⣼⣥⣧⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⣿⣿⣿⢟⢻⣿⣿⡿⠿⢃⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡼⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣮⣟⣿⣷⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡇⠀⠀⣿⢿⢿⡏⡹⡹⣿⣿⣿⢷⣇⢏⣷⣹⣇⣿⣿⣿⣼⣧⣿⠁⠀⠀⣸⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣇⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣿⣿⡯⡻⣿⠁⠀⠈⠻⣿⡇⠀⠀⢿⣯⣷⣷⣷⣷⡾⢿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢱⢹⣑⣻⣿⣿⡄⠀⢠⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣾⣯⡻⣿⣮⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢀⢇⢿⣗⣙⣜⣧⣻⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢛⢿⣿⣷⡄⣼⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⡻⣿⣿⣾⣿⣧⢤⣄⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⣿⣿⢛⠟⢻⠉⡿⣙⣣⠉⢿⣨⣃⣿⣹⣼⣾⣾⣿⢇⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣥⢿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣣⢿⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣷⡽⣇⣼⣶⣧⣽⣴⣷⠷⢿⢿⡿⣻⡟⠟⣿⣿⠟⠉⠁⢾⣧⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣶⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡸⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⡾⣫⣽⣷⡟⢻⣿⢻⣇⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣩⡟⣿⣸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣲⣷⣭⣵⣷⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢯⣽⣛⠷⣶⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣃⢿⣦⠀⣠⡴⣛⣵⣾⣿⡿⣫⣾⢸⣿⢸⣿⡸⣧⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣷⣿⡾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⣛⡷⢾⣭⣟⣻⠿⢶⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢟⢕⢅⣷⡹⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡜⢻⣛⣭⣾⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⡿⡫⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣎⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣭⣛⡿⣷⣶⡏⠽⣛⣻⠿⣶⣶⣤⣄⣀ ⣷⣟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢇⣒⣙⣛⣿⣿⣿⢟⣽⣾⡏⣫⡄⣸⣿⣿⡏⣭⣭⣿⣭⣥⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⢿⣷⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡻⣿⣛⣛⣛⣳⠾⣩⢭⣿⡏⢿⣷⣮⣭⣟⣻ ⡩⡲⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⢿⣾⣿⢟⣵⣿⡿⣫⣼⣿⣷⣿⢹⢿⡇⡏⡟⡿⢻⢻⢻⢻⢻⢻⡏⡟⢻⢻⠻⢻⡟⣿⠙⣯⣻⢈⠏⣧⡻⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣯⣭⣷⣷⣯⣽⣻⠿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣇⣝⡳⣶⣮⣭⡽ ⠶⢷⣶⢟⡽⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣵⣿⡿⣫⣾⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣼⡇⣇⣆⣇⣾⣜⣜⣬⣼⣮⣿⣧⡯⢾⣾⡾⡧⡿⣾⣶⣿⣾⣾⣿⣵⠿⢣⣟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣷⣿⣷⠶⣯⣭⣟⣻⠿⢶⡝⣿⣷ ⢀⢄⡥⣫⣚⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣵⡿⡿⣫⣾⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣇⣿⣮⣟⣟⣻⣭⡭⡹⣇⡵⣧⣊⣇⣿⣠⣇⣧⣄⣷⣿⣼⣿⠏⠀⠈⠙⡿⣯⣿⣶⣽⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⢏ ⣑⣫⣾⣿⣯⣽⣿⢟⣵⣿⢿⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣸⣿⣫⡶⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⢻⣿⣿⢙⡋⣻⣹⢙⣝⢚⣿⡿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡃⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣟⡫⣓⣵ ⣶⣾⣯⣭⣭⣿⣵⣿⠟⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠳⣼⡎⠛⠿⠾⠿⠷⠾⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⣀⣀⢰⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣻⢿⡿⢟⣯⠽⣶⣒⣲⣯⡽⣴⣛⣿⣿ ⣭⣽⣿⡛⠛⢛⣸⡅⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡿⣣⢾⣝⠿⢰⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠏⠀⢸⣿⠃⠉⢸⣝⡻⢿⣿⣷⣾⣽⠻⢿⣿⢟⡖⣭⣚⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿ ⣭⣭⣿⠀⠀⣸⣿⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⣿⣷⣶⣾⣭⣛⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠏⠀⠀⢸⣿⡃⠀⢸⡺⢝⡳⣯⢽⣶⣾⣿⣿⢎⣎⡺⢿⣿⣿⣷⣯⣽⣛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⢿⣿⠀⠀⢼⣾⠀⠀⢠⢻⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣯⣽⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣮⣗⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡏⠀⠀⠀⢸⣟⠁⠀⣼⣿⣿⣾⡟⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣸⣼⣿⣷⡎⠙⠻⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣾⣽⣛ ⣷⣾⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢠⣿⣷⣝⠿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⣰⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣉⡇⣿⣿⣯⣿⡇⡇⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⠢⡀⠈⠙⠺⢿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2783 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/The_Fall_of_Windows_XP.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/The_Fall_of_Windows_XP.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Fall of Windows: XP⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2025, updated Oct 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GRENDEL_pt5_\_MAN_OF_MATA⦈_ With GNU/Linux being a rising force and Apple being on the verge of collapse, "2000" became "lipstick-on-a-pig 2001" (XP). The new Fisher Price-like interface and some hill in a wallpaper (Teletubbies) were a reason to shell out money and purchase a new version of Windows (or PC). What for? Who knows... XP rode the inertia of prior versions of Windows, but GNU/Linux was gaining fast, especially in servers.

Crossposted_from_Techrights Last year, at the end of October, I received a bizarre E-mail from the lawyer of the 'Hulk_Hogan_of_UEFI' (regarding articles from 2021). That was about a month after my wife and I had sued him [1, 2] - something he should have very well predicted as I spoke_about_this_in_2021 shortly after the_serial_strangler from_Microsoft_had_been_arrested. The timing is not a coincidence; we'll_cover that_in_the_future. I'm constantly reminded to explain, even repeatedly, why Hulk Hogan is relevant here, more so after 'Hulk Hogan of UEFI' openly admitted someone else was bankrolling his lawsuit against my family and I. A Web site called Gawker published a correct and amicable article about a billionaire, Thiel, being gay. Thiel couldn't sue Gawker for anything, so instead he bankrolled the lawsuit of Hogan, drowning Gawker in legal bills. We're actually sort of flattered or proud that such despicable people are so desperate to censor us - to the point where they're looking_for_rich_people_to sponsor_their_SLAPPPs (whose total cost can be a million dollars or more). They upload everything to Microsoft servers and always act like savages, just like Hogan and Thiel would. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣙⠛⠋⢓⡂⠠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣴⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠛⠻⢷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣻⣯⡟⢏⡻⢡⣴⡋⢺⡽⣗⣶⣾⣿⠿⡿⣿⡿⢿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣯⣏⣽⣿⣮⡝⠱⣾⡷⠀⡰⣿⠶⣘⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠒⠒⠂⢹⣿⣷⣦⣄⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⣠⣤⡀⢀⢀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠝⠐⢶⣾⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⢿⣻⢓⡉⢿⣹⡿⢿⣾⡿⣿⣿⣿⡦⠀⠈⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣦⣀⡀⠀⠀⢐⡀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠀⠀⢀⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡄⠰⣿⣿⣿⣏⠭⣿⢡⣿⣝⢯⡏⢿⡜⠾⡟⠈⠟⠃⠻⢿⣿⣷⣀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠛⠿⣶⣆⣿⣿⠀⠰⢿⣶⡀⠂⢸⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠁⣼⣿⣿⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⢿⣇⢨⣤⣪⣤⣤⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠟⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⢻⣦⣶⣀⣉⡙⠀⠋⣹⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⡷⡦⣹⣋⠟⠋⡑⠤⣀⣀⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⣶⠆⠔⠺⠂⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣯⣥⣿⠋⠛⠁⠘⠻⠭⣿⣻⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣸⣦⡀⠀⣀⢂⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣏⠻⣿⠋⠽⣿⡉⣻⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⣤⣙⣦⣸⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣹⣿⣷⣾⣿⠝⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡼⠿⠁⠀⢀⡈⢻⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠙⠉⠹⣿⣿⣿⣯⡙⠛⠓⠊⠉⢠⣌⣻⣿⣿⡷⠛⠃⠹⣿⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣷⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢡⣷⣿⣿⡷⠖⠀⠉⠙⠑⠁⠘⢿⣷⣦⠀⠀⠠⠌⠿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣦⣀⢀⣴⡿⠛⠹⣽⠷⠲⠦⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⠁⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡷⠂⢀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣌⣉⡀⠀⠈⠉⠠⠼⠿⠖⠺⡿⠛⠈⠉⠛⠁⠉⠁⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⡿⠿⠃⣀⣴⣿⣿⣧⣌⣻⣿⡿⡇⠈⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡟⠙⠟⢃⣴⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⢛⠿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣶⡂⠀⠰⠆⠀⣀⣠⣀⣄⡀⣀⣴⡆⠀⠘⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠤⠽⢻⣯⣄⢉⣿⣿⣿⡾⠃⢠⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃ ⣤⣀⣠⣄⣤⣀⣤⣤⣄⣤⣀⠁⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⠋⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⢰⡿⠟⠉⠙⠢⣶⣤⡀⠚⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠃⠠⡄⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣘⣿⠿⠿⠛⢿⡧⠛⠛⠋⣁⡄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⣴⣰⣶⠿⠋⣁⣀⠴⠚⣷⣍⣻⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠿⠃⠁⠀⠀⣼⣋⣼⣟⠛⠛⢿⣏⠢⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⡀ ⡿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⣿⣟⣛⠟⡟⡋⠵⢖⣶⣖⣶⠂⠀⠙⠉⠈⠛⢤⣴⣫⣴⣶⣿⣿⣽⣇⡷⣿⣿⣷⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⣸⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇ ⣿⣏⠩⠆⣚⢁⡁⢬⣟⣳⣶⣤⣤⣴⣾⢎⣛⣟⠁⠀⠀⢠⣶⣾⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣻⡟⢻⣧⣀⣹⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣏⠛⠧⠒⠷⠤⡔⣾⣹⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡴⠃⣿⡏⢻⣿⣿⣷⣬⣟⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡈⠙⠛⢿⠟⢟⣛⠋⠉⠉⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣏⣛⠻⠿⠟⠿⣿⣿⡿⠷⢬⡿⠇⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢀⣠⣤⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡙⠾⢯⣄⡀⠀⣠⡀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠈⠀⠄⠀⣬⣀⣀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⣤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢋⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣯⣷⣾⣶⣴⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣷⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣋⣁⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣀⣈⡘⢿⣿⡟⢁⣿⠞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⢀⠈⢻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣟⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣍⣉⠁⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2945 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/This_Linux_app_will_make_you_ditch_your_mouse_for_good.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/10/22/This_Linux_app_will_make_you_ditch_your_mouse_for_good.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ This Linux app will make you ditch your mouse for good⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 22, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_rise_of_keyboard-first_computing⦈_ For many Linux users, the mouse has always been a secondary tool. Between terminals, shortcuts, and window managers, it’s possible to control nearly every aspect of the desktop without ever touching it. That efficiency mindset has led to a new generation of keyboard-driven workflows that emphasize speed, precision, and flow. Hints fits perfectly into that philosophy, giving users complete desktop control through an open-source interface that responds instantly to their typing. What makes Hints stand out isn’t just what it does, but how naturally it becomes part of your rhythm. It overlays subtle labels on interactive elements, letting you type instead of clicking. You can open apps, switch windows, or even press GUI buttons with a single keystroke. Once you adapt, the traditional point-and-click workflow feels sluggish by comparison.
