Are you sure? Doom was GPL’ed in 1999.

Dunno. I feel like if you’ve used an image from a reputable source under the proviso that you’re licensed for it, and it turns out you’re not… you may be able to blame Unsplash etc. and just swap the image out.

Unsplash, Freepik, Pexels, and countless other sites exist where you can get free images with clear licensing.

You can tell it to use the system version of Wine

If you have to use Windows and you’re power-userish enough to go setting up static IPs, it might be worth learning a bit of PowerShell. You can do everything with it!

…but still nicer than 11, right?

Use Windows XP to annoy both Linux users and those guys who get a serious bee in their bonnet about EOL software

MS no longer produces an official Teams binary for Linux. (Correct me if they’ve started doing so again)

Further to your point about Adobe: their market position is such that they’d probably rather you pirate their software than not use it at all

It does. Last time I did it, though, it required a couple of files to get going. Have a look here for info: http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/

I was 7 when I first properly used Linux. My dad somehow found a prebuilt which came with SuSE - I assume version 7 or thereabouts. It didn’t last long, sadly, before we switched over to Windows XP.

Then at age 14/15, I ran Ubuntu 10 as my daily driver on my netbook. Then #! for a bit.

Used Windows 7 and 10 until… I guess age 26/27 since that’s what we’re doing, when I switched to Debian full-time. (Via MX-Linux, which didn’t quite work out)

Looks a bit like Soundtracker et al.

[Trinity Desktop Environment] (https://www.trinitydesktop.org/) is really cool - a bit more XP-era, mid-2000s style, though.

I’m not sure I do, please can you explain?

VMware offers their Workstation hypervisor for free now. I’m able to run Windows 10 surprisingly well using that, and use relatively intensive software like Affinity Designer without any noticeable issues.

I think it was prior to version 2, but these days it’s based on Sid - https://vanillaos.org/nerd-info

Yes, it’s called VanillaOS! https://vanillaos.org/

Aren’t the Templars still kicking about? Or is that just in the conspiracy theories?

The Sims 2 performs better on Linux than it ever did on Windows.

Y’know, for what it’s worth.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine did an entire episode lampshading this whole thing. (S06E14 for the curious)
