• Temporarily (?) running Win11

    Weird thing, I got hit with a vulnerability in either Chromium as used
    by Nativefier's Web apps I'd made, or the Chrome browser, under Debian,
    it appeared to be contained within the app's space and not destroying my
    OS itself, but out of an abundance of caution I wiped the internal SSD
    with Win11 25H2, and installed Norton which I still have a license for
    through the next several months, to scan my external backups, wasn't
    logically necessary, but I was just trying to approach it as though
    anything could be wrong.

    Now that I have reassured myself that whatever happened is behind me,
    the question would be how long before I reinstall Debian, but I'm
    actually giving Win11 a chance, there are some advantages to using it
    perhaps, although if I were to bet I'd think I'd tire of it.

    If I cover my dick with very fresh dog feces, will you blow me, Joel?
    It really would be the Christian thing to do.

    Yeah, we all know you're AC/DC.

    That's not it, though, I'd potentially keep this because Winblows can
    run certain apps natively, that what's available for Linux doesn't match.

    No, there is nothing Christian about being a homosexual demon.

    I've got a Win11 laptop and even fired it up yesterday to refresh my
    memory on WSL but usually it's a base for various projects, horizontal surfaces being what they are.

    I don't dislike Windows and used it at work since our clients ran Windows
    but there is nothing I use that isn't available on Linux. I mean the exact application, not a close substitute. For a sublime level of ridiculousness
    I even built a .NET IoT application on Linux and transferred it to a
    Raspberry Pi 5 to make the LEDs blinken.

    I don't want to blame that experiment but the Bookworm OS on the Pi
    started taking minutes to boot so I burned a microSD with Trixe that boots fine. fwiw, Bookworm was on a Samsung Evo and the new one is on a Amazon Basics. I've had excellent luck with the Basics cables etc and that
    apparently extends to microSD cards.
