Downloading the UUPDUMP on Fedora. Frankly, I'm just not sure why I should be interested in an operating system whose "upgrades" revolve around changing icons. If anybody has tried Gnome 40 please let me know. End rant.

Had to install Everything cuz Windows can't search natively!
That's just stupid!

I can't upgrade to this build. I've tried three times now and it gets stuck for hours at 98% every time.

Downloading to my physical machine. There are some things that have to be done in Windows, for example, Google Chrome Canary is not available for Linux (that I am aware of), and Chrome handles programs like doxyme better than Firefox nightly.1 of the VMs on Linux completed the other two are paused and I will finish them after this puppy is done. BTW Everything is a very good program Edwin so thanks for mentioning it. Bye for now.

Hi there
I've been an advocate of KDE as a Linux GUI for donkeys years -- try the latest plasma desktop - really good and works !!! - zillions of configurations to choose from including up to 8 Virtual independent monitors - great for multi-monitor systems.. I don't usually have a Linux GUI on things like NAS but on laptops etc it's sensible to have a GUI for normal working plus a Windows VM or two.
Black themes available too -- I don't like those myself but I know loads do - even on Windows.
BTW Edge does work on Linux but I still prefer Firefox both on Linux and Windows (until they hose it up with "Too many new features etc etc") !!
However back to Windows - my view is that these builds should only appear if there's either serious improvements in performance, new hardware support that can't be done via a normal WU or genuine features to be added. One thing I've been wanting for YEARS is for file explorer (or equivalent) to be able to display path/directory and file name combinations > 266 chars. Internally Windows can do it but so many apps that require a "File browsing interface" use the old "file browser api which still restricts to 266 chars). These days with large NAS / HDD's of several TB in size it's quite easy to reach the 255 char limit if you need to give meaningful names to music / video tracks etc.
Path/directory/file names > 266 chars still come up in the old Ms dos 8.3 truncated names !!!!
Cheers

I was very much into linux at one time. Linux Mandrake with KDE was my favorite. Before I could buy the boxed CDs at Best Buy I would download new builds over a dial-up internet connection. It would take about 3 days. Sometimes longer before I started using a download manager. I switched to Linux because I really hated Windows Vista. It wasn't until I became a tester for Windows 7 that I switched back to Windows. Now I just dabble around with Linux Mint. I can truthfully say that Windows 7 brought me back and Windows 10 is keeping here. I was close to going back to Linux when Windows 8 first came out.Hi there
