maybe google project ara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara

this is actually still very useful for vms, containers, etc. even over LAN it’s quite usable for ~gtk2 programs.

they’re probably disconnected from internet, most likely misconfigured kms server or smth

for some reason, all these devices i see around these days seem to run android (one of 5/6/7/8 based on the exposed ui) or win10… haven’t seen any linux desktop-ish thing here

for mobile distros theres also droidian (basically mobian with downstream kernel and halium) and maemo leste (continuation of nokia’s maemo fremantle)

lol no, these smart watches are powerful as older smartphones, their stock os is already android/linux based.

based as always

kdenlive and openshot are my choice. openshot is easier for basic stuff but kinda buggy (at least it was in 2023)

well yeah, it surely is. win10 iot ltsc itself is defo getting support till 2032, but massgrave’s hwid/tsforge may get blocked at some point, though most people highly doubt that since m$ doesn’t really care at this point. (heck, the massgrave repos are hosted on m$ owned github) in addition to that, massgrave’s hwid mode generates an hwid on microsoft’s servers just like genuine windows licenses, so i’m pretty sure it’ll remain working, even if the method to generate hwid gets blocked somehow…

i do believe switching to a gnu/linux distro is a much better choice, but this is also an option if your relatives really prefer using windows or need to.

i would do vnc through tailscale or reverse ssh

massgrave.dev

i’d rather spend time actually learning and doing things instead of being an LLM slopper lol

as a student, this is much more interesting than studying

devuan is a solid distro that just works, not sure what’s your problem with that

if you have the storage, just dump the whole drive. you can then boot that windows installation again, or even use it on a vm under linux.

it’s generally a good idea to not have your home folder accessible to windows programs running under wine. other than that, i don’t see the need for an antivirus. keep your system updated, and use virustotal for the occasional suspicious file

last commit 3yrs ago… seems unmaintained

their ui was perfect. why can’t we have nice things…

seems like they had a decent name ‘revolt’ but got some cease and desist and didn’t resist and decided to switch.

has anyone tried their iOS client? from their description it seems like it’s less mature than the android version, kinda concerning as my friend group has some iphone users.
