\o/ VLC in space

@videolan

also i’m pretty sure this is KDE… not 100% positive, but that taskbar…
@domi While it would be pretty cool if it was, I doubt it. That looks like a Microsoft Surface, especially with the pen design.
@domi Also: I used to use a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 long ago and it looks identical to the device in that photo, which is why I say this.

@hexaheximal @domi yes, the personal computing devices are Surfaces
And of course they had the Outlook issues a few days ago so...Windows.

I remember when Debian went to space, when did that stop? 😭

The #ISS went [from XP to Debian](https://www.silicon.co.uk/workspace/international-space-station-linux-abandons-windows-for-linux-debian-115869) in 2013 but it think #NASA reverted back to windows a few years ago.
IIRC the life support systems use neither and run on the Russian module whereas the US module uses #ada-based stuff for its core functions.
