@mms Finally installed gemini browser again! Wow thanks for writing about this, I was not aware this condition exists!

Great guide for running Windows 11 in KVM on Linux by Rob Braxman.

I've followed it almost to the letter, only skipped the manual storage pool configuration.

It runs great on 8GB of RAM and 4 cores. It actually boots faster then Win 11 in dual boot! I previously didn't use virtio-win drivers, but they make big difference!

Another note: Win 11 Pro eval actually installs without Copilot by default. I only disabled One Drive and uninstalled Xbox apps.

@Chris1776 @Tionisla Wow thanks, that looks awesome!
@encthenet Just wanted to drop my couple of cents here, but other posts summed it better than I could. I can't believe where they are going. They've decided to bury this browser and determined they won't stop until no one uses it.

@Tionisla Not too happy with this news. Seems like some kind of fork is inevitable. Not sure why, but tech bros seem to view X support as something conservative, purist, undesired and what not.

I'm not sure where this came from, I know X is old, but it can still do the job, I know it's toolset and it is great fit for lightweight systems.

To look back and review 2025:

I wanted to learn more about networking and Unix in 2025 and I think I've succeeded 🤗. Mastodon community helped a lot in this endeavor, thank you all!

I don't have much spare time to tinker with BSD any more, but I'm looking into Fedora and tmux at the moment. I'm having a great time, and also just spending more time outside or with kids.

Wishing all of you all the best in 2026! 🎉 🎇

@osnews Great news!
@ploum Excelent! 😁

Let's just not bring politics into everything. In last months I've seen a fair share of unhelpful generalizations from both camps here. I've read that X users are stone-age desktop lovers, MAGA idi*ts, zombie cuddlers, "against the new, beacause it's new" and what not. Same way not everything from Wayland is bad (I use it on my work machine, but not on my older machines). I'm happy someone will maintain KWin so that I can still use Plasma on those machines. End of story...
