I refuse to upgrade to Windows 11, here’s what I’m doing instead

An old PC's motherboard has recently marked a decade of service, and while it performs well for web browsing and media streaming, the end of support for Windows 10 is approaching in October. Microsoft encourages users to upgrade to a new Copilot+ PC. The user contemplates several options: continuing to use the PC after the end-of-life date, switching to a Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) version of Windows, or attempting to install Windows 11. The user expresses dissatisfaction with Windows 11, feeling it lacks essential features and customization options. They also find staying with Windows 10 impractical due to the eventual phasing out of support. The user identifies Linux Mint as a compelling alternative, having found it compatible and customizable, and expresses hope that other Windows 10 users will consider transitioning to Linux Mint as well.

The game formerly known as Operation Flashpoint is getting a remaster, while developer Bohemia Interactive has released its engine source code

Operation Flashpoint debuted in June 2001 as a significant military simulator with an expansive open-world design, allowing players to engage in combined-arms warfare across large islands. Players could control various military assets and command squads, offering a level of realism and complexity ahead of its time. Bohemia Interactive announced plans to celebrate ArmA: Cold War Assault with a remastered edition featuring a reengineered Poseidon engine, widescreen support, and modern hardware compatibility. A demo is available, serving as a "self-contained slice" and a "sanctioned asset pack" for fans to create new content. Bohemia has released the complete engine source code on GitHub, upgraded to C++20 with cross-platform support, while ensuring that the license does not extend to the ArmA or Operation Flashpoint trademarks. Bohemia is also developing ArmA Reforger, which recreates iconic islands and serves as a testbed for the anticipated ArmA 4, set for release in 2027.
