Bill Gates installing Windows!
The 20th of next month (April) will mark 1 year exactly since I made the switch from #Windows to #LinuxMint. Look forward to a detailed post on that day detailing my thoughts on #Linux as an #OperatingSystem. 
So uh, #Arikoto now has GDT.
I'm not even sure if my #GDT #Code is correct but I think it works.
#GitHub repo:

GDT code:

I'm dreading moving onto #IDT and #Interrupts now...

What Microsoft is actually telling you, Anatoly, is to throw Windows OS in the trash and switch to something practical, like Linux.
Your hardware will continue to be usable, but you'll be free of Redmond's shackles.

Did I just do a #Markdown conversion of Mark Russinovich’s seminal 1998 article on #WindowsNT (and by extension, all modern versions of #MicrosoftWindows)’ debt to #DEC’s #VMS #OperatingSystem? Just so I could have a decent copy apart from the dusty carried-over archived version at https://www.ITProToday.com/server-virtualization/windows-nt-and-vms-the-rest-of-the-story ?
Why yes, yes I did. Why not?

The #linuxdaw library continues to grow, reflecting the development of #linuxaudio as a platform. Not only is the range of native #linux #plugin (s) growing, but also the maturity of #pipewire and #linuxdesktop itself. Truly amazing times for #musicproduction with this popular #opensource #operatingsystem.

PD: @alf Nice addition with the #clap, #lv2, #vst, etc. icons! 
#Kuroko without an #OperatingSystem
We have truly reached the limits of Kuroko now.
This isn’t even my project, I don’t know why I’m even making it run on different things.
Palm OS - an operating system for palmtops. The first models of palmtops running Palm OS appeared in 1996 (Pilot 1000). At first, the Pilots were manufactured by 3Com. Later, 3com devices were called Palm Pilot, then, as a result of transformations, Palm Computing was spun off into 3com, dealing only with palmtops. https://archiveos.org/palm-os/ #palmtops #operatingsystem
