It won’t run my MS Flight Sim X either...
Can anybody help me?
It’ll be incredibly safe and totally predictable: it won’t be on any of my computers.
Microslop is amateur crap, not worth the effort or risk.
It’ll be full of bugs and stuff will start costing $$’s.
Is MS Flight Sim X on Windows Store as a UWP application?
I don't run Flight Sim myself, but perhaps another FReeper can give assistance.
There are people still using Windows? (...scratches head)
Who knew, huh?
>that can only install apps from the Windows Store and is restricted to Microsoft’s Edge browser.
I would write an Assembler and C compiler in machine code first and then write a text editor in C before I would even look at such a pithy offering.
Just a couple of weeks ago I switched to Linux Zorin. It looks and acts just like Win7. As an ex certified Windows tech I made the conscious decision to not go beyond Win7.
My only regret since the switch is not doing it sooner. Everything runs on Zorin that ran on Win7. It even has a program called “Wine” that allows Windows apps and programs to run in its native format on Zorin. When everyone else using Windows was sweating bullets from the crybaby malware or whatever it was called; I was living comfortably knowing it would not affect me. The beauty of it all is I dual boot with Zorin being the default but I can boot into Win7 if I so choose but so far there hasn’t been a reason to and I can access all my files in the Windows side.
There are other Linux options too like Mint or one that looks more like a Mac that runs on the far less expensive PC type computer you can actually work on yourself or the kid next door can too.
Once the ISO is downloaded and burned to a DVD; the user has the option when booting up to run Linux Zorin straight off the DVD to try it out without installing it or to install it. It runs much faster once installed though.
Very interesting; I’m not familiar with Zorin, but I”li’l check it out.
You can only install the junk from windows store on windows 10 S
So, VirtualBoxen are haram it seems.
Have been using some form of Linux since 1994.
Seldom ever operate a Window machine. (still have several, wife has one)
And computer life is much simpler with Linux. And there are some really great command line software programs that I would not like to give up.
Image Magic is an amazing batch processing command line image processing tool. Have been using it for a very long time. It was available in both Windows and Linux. So? MS is only shooting themselves in the foot.
One I haven’t tried. Thanks
It must be nice to be retired, and not have to work for a living. Or be a “Genius” in an Apple Store (I wonder if they could be sued for false advertising?)
Mark :-)
I have Win 10 Home running on four machines with Classic Shell as the UI. Runs fine now and may be soon history if MS messes around too much. Installed Linux Mint on an older retired machine for trial and was impressed with the performance.
For later
Yeah, I won’t be getting 10 S or any hardware that requires it. I’m running Windows 10 with the Linux subsystem - best thing that ever happened to Windows.
