now, the trick is going to be, will I remember that #TQSL is available on #Linux in 3 years when I renew again? 😂

@k8vsy it's been a number of years anyway - at least as long as I've been daily driving Linux, which is probably at least 10 years

@N3VEM @k8vsy It's available as a flatpak, no less, which is super convenient:

@k8vsy @scott @N3VEM

It's also in the Debian package system, so I guess to your first question: quite a while.

@IrrationalMethod @scott @N3VEM wow!

I must have missed the memo when I renewed last time, lol

@scott @N3VEM @k8vsy I'm glad it's not limited to flatpak though; I have it on my wavelog server so I don't have to remember how to use tsql most of the time 😀

@mcdanlj @scott @N3VEM

I just tried the flatpack and it seemed buggy on Ubuntu 25.10, not every button was allowing a click, hmm

but I ended up compiling it real quickly, and that seems to be working a lot better!

thank you all ❤️

@k8vsy That sparked my curiosity. The oldest file in tqsl.tgz from Sourceforge is 2001-03-06.

@ly2ss whoa, wow!

I'm impressed! and happy to see it 🙂

I wish I would have looked harder when I renewed last time, lol

@k8vsy I only recently started using TQSL and being an old database user I can't stop my fingers typing TSQL. Duh!

@G8GDS hehe, I do have to pause sometimes too, to make sure I have the right name of the software (I've taken classes where we learned about TSQL)

@G8GDS @k8vsy Yes!!
