    I converted to Linux KDE 10 years ago and will never return back to Windows.


    My first DIY computer build was Windows 98, but seeing Microsoft progress through malware over the years caused me to abandon Windows. My recommendation to anyone who has thrown away their old gear is to give it a new lease of life by using linux. Once you try it, you will never want to go back to Windows.

    convert a Linux program to Windows 10

    To be upfront, this thread is MY IDEA. I want to suggest to a guy I know that he convert his Linux program to run on Windows 10/11. The Linux binary is 2.8 MB and uses a lot of file I/O. I did some ChatGPT searches, but didn't get back anything useful. Not being a developer I am not sure that I know where to look. If this guy doesn't know much about Windows, what does he need to learn? Where does he start?
    • Win 32 API?
    • Registry?
    • What else?
    What are some good resources?

    Mint or Fedora 10 KDE for new Linux user

    Hey guys, I just picked up a laptop and I am wanting to replace the evil windows Vista with a kinder, gentler operating system, ala Linux. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on which would be the better distro to choose: Mint (kde version if they got it) or Fedora 10. Also, what are the advantages of kde over gnome?

    Also, the laptop is a Turion Rm72 (amd 64bit) - can I run a 64bit distro or do I have to settle for 32 bit? I've read linux doesnt support amd 64s or something similar..

    convert a Linux program to Windows 10

    This is why we have WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). You are not going to be able to make a Linux program run on Windows, unless you have access to the code and it can be compiled to run on Windows with minimum code change.
