they even have a full distro, clear linux, which is actually pretty good? i found out about it when i was compiling a newer mesa for my chromebook like a year ago (and was surprised to find the iris driver was donated) only thing preventing me from using it really was because i'm a baby that needs apt

Private Speech posted:that is what I use Cygwin in path for cygwin requires the same thing (external libraries) though? and cygwin sucks rear end compared to wsl? i tried using winelib and winegcc too but i couldn't ever figure out how to get them to work properly agreed on that last point though. that's why i tried busybox

somewhat related: are they still actively working on WSL1? don't get me wrong, WSL2 is great and all, but i always thought WSL1's architecture was very interesting

Lysidas posted:old crufty formats are also good sources of security vulnerabilities, like jbig2 and tiff, i have a lot of sympathy for wanting to drop support for that kind of stuff the weird thing is though a lot of them continue to be supported anyway (see av re: cinepak), you just can't encode to them any more and if it's not supported in a quartzcontext then you can't save it, either. then there's also poo poo like libavcodec, which to add ms content they're at least using in edge (but that's more the chrome lineage) i'm firmly convinced tiff will never truly die, kinda like postscript. it's been entrenched for what, 35 years? despite how many better options? lol

i must report i finally installed the aforementioned explorer patcher and it does indeed solve all of those problems i have the windows 11 taskbar but the start menu is rounded 10-style, plus context menus work the way they should

Silver Alicorn posted:I forget, was there any hype leading up to windows 11? I remember a lot of buzz before 8 and 10 but 11 just showed up one day and I haven’t had the energy to care apparently they just decided to update everyone to 11 anyway i posted about this in cjs but my desktop is stuck in some sort of purgatory because it doesn't have a TPM v2. it's on a version of 10 that's apparently outside the RTM branch for 10 but inside the branch they use for 11, which i can't update to usually i just use linux on there. it's easier

mystes posted:Wasn't that just an accident where they messed up which computers they released the updater to? Or did they change their mind again more recently? i'm not sure honestly, i'd love to figure out a way to update it without blasting away everything on a 2 TB ssd as far as i can tell it just doesn't find any updates other than the rtm 11 updater. for reference it's on 10.0.21390.2025
