Window Maker Live 13.2 brings 32-bit life to Debian 13

Is it really 270 MB of RAM?

You said it was using "270 MB of RAM", but your own screenshot with fastfetch shows you're using 560 MB RAM. Are you able to post a screenshot of the actual RAM usage please?

Avalonia brings Linux, browser support to Microsoft's MAUI cross-platform app solution

Re: Unknown unknowns

Biggest issue with Uno right now is that it doesn't support Wayland, which means you'd be using XWayland and this results in some random annoying bugs. A Wayland support issue was raised a year ago but there's been seemingly no activity, which is disappointing.

Free95 claims to be a GPL 3 Windows clone, but it's giving vaporware vibes

My personal favorite is Windows 93: https://www.windows93.net/

I love how the Defrag program is actually a snake game.

Re: First question

Liam, does it do VoLTE though? Many countries (like Australia) have been shutting down their 2G and 3G networks, which means you need to be able to make calls via 4G, which requires VoLTE. This was a major issue in Australia last October when they switched off 3G and millions of phones couldn't make calls, even emergency numbers. Hopefully that's not an issue with this phone?

QNX 8 goes freeware – for non-commercial use

You know what would be great? If we could run QNX on the desktop, so that we could do our development completely on QNX.

I don't understand why QNX killed off Photon and the desktop builds. I recall using QNX 5 or 6 on my Pentium III 450 back in the day, and it was so far ahead of Linux back then. The most amazing thing was the desktop responsiveness, especially the fact that I could play audio whilst multitasking - with zero stutter - something even modern Linux distros can still struggle with! And an even more amazing example was the famous 1.44MB demo floppy which fit an entire DE, something that is still just as impressive today as it was back then.

I'm really sad that QNX for the Desktop no longer exists. At least make it opensource and let the community support it, if you can't make money off it. Why just simply kill it off?

Met Office cuts off Linux users with new weather widgets

Not a problem for nix geeks

I don't see this being an issue for any *nix geek worth his salt. All you have to do is hit up WireShark or similar to sniff on the traffic sent to/from the widget and it shouldn't take too long to whip up a native client written in python or something...

Worst case scenario: you can always run AIR under Wine.
