Keep in mind the newer Updates have been breaking peoples PC's from booting. There is a reason I haven't been making Windows 11 mods, and it's not just because I disagree with their direction. Every single month since late last year the Updates have broken things - they are using AI to make their updates/code changes. If I agreed with them then I'd be putting in more effort to make a usable Windows 11 OS, I just can't bring myself to spend the time to fix it when I know the very next months update will break things again. I reverted a customers Win 11 laptop to last months Update and it booted fine again. now as for the StartAllBack, this needs constant updating to work with the updates also, currently it crashes explorer.exe (especially on shutdown/reboot), In other words, if MS are going to actively block 3rd parties tweaks from making things like the users want them too, I'll not give them any of my tweaks - it's a waste of my time.

I've not felt like I have to mod Linux more, everything I need to do has just worked and none of the updates have broken a single tweak. I'll only have to update things as I find I need them and when they release their next major version at the end of the year, so that is why it's been extra quiet around here - I am no longer chasing versions as the OS Updater updates all the apps at the same time, so there is very little reason for me to be version chasing apps like I was with windows. On top of that I've not had any feedback, so I've not needed to make any apps/games for anyone else either. So it's been really quiet.

thank you for making it possible, keep up the great work

I've built a Microsoft Office 365 for Linux based on the scripts given, so now you can somewhat use it

I just found a nice weather app https://amit9838.github.io/mousam/ fo
r linux

As well I just learnt if you hold the windows key and press the right mouse button inside a window it will allow you to resize it without going right to the pixel perfect corner (left button with win key will move the window without needing to move to the titlebar. handy stuff

How is everyone doing ?

Hope the forum/site is behaving like it should .

Doing good. Hows the home working out for you?

@unitop4 - Slow but good , wife had a bumper bump wreck yesterday in her 2022 infiniti QX80 that will cost , insurance at least will cover it as she has never had no accidents .

Because Mint isn't getting any new releases until after December I am tinkering with CachyOS, I tried to make it default to Cinnamon but failed, but what I have is a KDE build that is fully offline and customised with LastOS features. I am trying to make an alternative to Debian, but built using archiso rather than penguins eggs, it's at the stage I can boot live and Install the OS and boot into the installed OS, I just need to add the LLStore to the firstlogin scripts now and it should hopefully be done by today, I'll probably share it public once it's doing what I need, in case anyone wants it. I was sad when CachyOS went online rolling release only, so having it work again offline at all is a bonus, (only got it working last night) so time to add features - it has ark, wine, xed already integrated - so now it's LastOS tools time.

I found wget fails to run on cachyos, so I've changed it over to only using curl, I'll do another update in the near future to take out wget, it's left in for now, even though it's not used
.

So a new LLStore version is up

I have the store run silently on first logon and I am in the process of adding packages to make it work better out of the box

Coming along nicely, I have WINE and Steam integrated (as anyone who is wanting to use cachyos will 99% likely be wanting games to be out of the box, else they'd stick with Mint). LLStore integration is perfect now I fixed the downloader to use curl instead of wget and I've not had any crashes or problems at all. still lost more to do, but if anyone has free time, I'd be happy to share my day 3 or 4 efforts to play with. I do have plans to make all my LLStore apps/games be fully updated with CachyOS support as a few of them don't currently (due to missing some SDL2 libraries or 32bit needed etc), It'll keep me busy anyway.

Steam even works in the Live OS, I just had it running as I was installing the OS, so pretty happy with that, it's not really meant for that, but you can
