It’s just as stupid to blanket defend Graphene. There’s lots of different users, with lots of different use cases. If there was a one size fits all solution for every user on the planet everyone would already be using it.
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 1 day ago:
I think expecting a company that’s this hostile towards uninstalling to distribute as a flat pack is asking a lot. Also maybe this is nitpicking but idk if I’d call containerized “native”
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 2 days ago:
A Linux native version might even be worse. At least in windows you can usually just delete the directory out of \program files or wherever. Linux applications tend to insert themselves into every corner of your filesystem

I get where you’re coming from but nowadays a dynamic public IP is ‘dynamic’ in that it can change but rarely if ever will unless you switch ISPs or equipment.
- Comment on E-Mail with own domain 2 weeks ago:
you would definitely want a static IP (as opposed to updating DNS entries all the time)
Also any IP from a dynamic range is going to make spam filters lose their shit

Tbf RDP works pretty well for basic desktop stuff even over slow links. I’m sure there’s a protocol out there even more optimized for use cases like this.

The fact that I can’t even conceive of putting voyager over lower decks demonstrates that it’s good they’re doing different stuff and making something for everybody
- Comment on Psychedelics are the cheat code 3 weeks ago:
Mushrooms definitely helped me work on my issues. They key with every psychedelic.ive done though is you have to go in with the right attitude. If you’re afraid of what acid might do, the anxiety is going to make you miserable for 12 hours. Shrooms supercharge my emotions so when I did them my 9th day of vacation when I was starting to really miss my dog they made me really sad.

The hypervisor doesn’t necessarily present the guest the exact CPU you’re running. Maybe it was presenting an older model, or something stripped down that didn’t have the features win 11 was looking for. It’s moot.now that you found a solution but I believe this is what happened and moving the disks to a new VM probably would have worked.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 4 weeks ago:
You get into any big organization and legacy becomes a larger and larger part of the way things are kept running. Hell just for shits and giggles look at the back end of blood banks, government, airports and non blood banks back end infrastructure. I would be shocked if anything was running on less then a decade old software.
Maybe on the backend or specialized single purpose appliances. Running decade old OS’s on workstations is negligence boardering on malpractice.

It sounds like your VM config was presenting a COU or TPM config that the upgrade wasn’t comfortable with. If your new machine presented acceptable configs to a brand new VM, then making a new VM and feeding it the old .vhdx would be the same as pulling a storage device and putting it in a new motherboard that was win 11 compliant. After a reboot to install new drivers it probably would have upgraded happily.

It’s dogshit after windows 7
Lol
Not only were there dogshit windows versions before 7, 8 was an upgrade in almost other way other than “omg start menu big now” culture shock. The new task manager alone was worth having a slightly bigger start menu.

25H2 is a feature update. 24H2, for now, gets all the same security fixes. When people say “always run the latest” they mean stay on a supported OS and always have as many security updates as possible within reason.

Have you tried creating a new VM and attaching your existing vhdx or whatever to it?

You have to file no matter what. You’re risking an IRS investigation you probably can’t afford.
