Zippy BotEnd of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending
doingthestuffMicrosoft Access and Publisher, the Adobe suite, VR. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of why I can’t completely abandon Windows, yet. I do have a handful of older PCs running Mint though, and I’ll be switching over more. But not all of them.
Publisher is being discontinued soon and will be removed from Microsoft 365 installs
I’ve never used 365. I use a 2019 purchased version. I refuse to pay subscriptions. But my job has a lot of graphics that were created and are still updated in publisher. I’m sure I can find an alternative, but recreating hundreds of files will be terrible, and it will likely all fall on me. And that’s only like 5% of my job.
Ok, I really need to know what you’re using Access for in 2025
Old nonprofit, old files, continuously maintained for about 30 years now. Tiny staff, not many resources to work on migrating the files. It’s just not a missional priority.
That’s pretty impressive. We migrated an Access DB onto an SQL be about 4 years ago. Was an absolute nightmare
For VR, lvra.gitlab.io is a pretty good resource for the state of VR support on Linux currently. Check their supported hardware table.

Welcome to the LVRA Wiki# This is a collection of links, useful resources and guides for the amazing world of VR on Linux. Feel free to contribute to this wiki yourself if you find anything useful that you might want to share with others. Your VR setup all depends on what hardware you have installed/available. Start by reading the hardware page. Keep these things in mind: Generally, for wireless/Android/standalone headsets, you’ll want to use WiVRn. Visit the WiVRn page for installation instructions. Generally, for wired headsets like Index/Vive/WMR/Oculus/Rift, you’ll want to use Envision to build and run the latest Monado. Monado or WiVRn are replacements for SteamVR. Once set up (and complemented with xrizer) you won’t need to launch SteamVR anymore. Install WiVRn directly if you can; it’s a lot easier than building it with Envision, which is only necessary if you need a custom branch (e.g. for SlimeVR support).
