For me, fitgirl installer does not work with wow64 (where you do not have to install 32 bit libraries). I had earlier also tried with wine-wow64 package from chaotic aur repo, and it did not used to work back then, and now arch linux has made the default wine package wow64 version. This has benefits (smaller package size, you can disable mulitlib repo, etc), but now installer does not work. It gets stuck as soon as any decompression is about to begin. And to me not much is clear. My guess is the freearc compression that fitgirl uses, its decompressor does nto work in wow64. Has anyone else tried for whom it works? Maybe I have to add a separate dll for this and create a override. Fitgirl faq does not mention it (probably since wow64 is still relatively new).

If this is not a right community for this, then sorry, I do not know of a better one. (wine team would not handle requests related to pirated installers, fitgirl or related communities in general do not do linux much, and of them, only a small fraction would be using wow64)

For testing purposes, You can grab almost any installer, I went and sorted by size (smallest first) and got it, and it does not work. (I am not going to provide link here for somewhat obvious reasons)

The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.

Even with android custom ROMs like Lineage, support eventually ends. Meanwhile, you can just slap on linux onto any old computer and its still getting the latest updates. 🤔

Why not just do the same thing with phones? Forever phone updates? 👀

Donald Trump's administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.

The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a "Happy Flag Day!"

"Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great," the department stated Saturday.

The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.

Thought I'd share a success story.

France’s National Gendarmerie (military police) rolled out GendBuntu, their own custom Linux OS

• Around 35,000 desktops/laptops deployed by December 2011, and today 97% of 103,000+ PCs run GendBuntu
• They started by replacing Office, IE & Outlook in 2005, then moved to Ubuntu in 2008, achieving a 40% reduction in total cost of ownership
• The switch slashed annual license and maintenance costs by millions of euros (~€2 M per year and ~€50 M total) .

The switch away from big Tech to Open Source alternatives might not be easy, but it's been successfully done before.

Trump’s army parade was neither the totalitarian North Korean spectacle that critics had grimly predicted, nor the triumph of MAGA nationalism fans craved
