Windows 11

[Cotswold]

Yes, I run Windows 10 in Virtualbox.

But I only need it for Access - and I don't do anything in Access except for help here and on UtterAccess. And occasionally an Excel spreadsheet

IMHO, Access is the wrong tool for the job going forwards in today's connected world with many different formats. Desktop with Windows and a wired connection is no longer king. ............................

Hello cheekybuddha, Just wondering which database solution(s) you use on Linux, if you don't mind me asking.

Mainly MySQL, but I also have a couple of VM's with Postgres and SQLServer Express installed.

What I meant to ask was, which FE on your Linux?

For database management I use DBeaver and (less and less) MySQL Workbench.

For interfaces, I build web frontends.

I'm running Linux (Mint 22) with MariaDB, phpMyAdmin, and Apache. Runs on my local LAN, effectively a web based system.

Yeah, explorerpatcher is the bomb - but sad that we have to use 3rd party workarounds to "restore" functionality that Windows OS's keep taking away bit by bit

While this is a Windows 11 thread, Windows 10 has appeared here. Windows 10 is supposedly expiring on October 14, 2025.

Windows 10's end is coming: here's what you should do about it

End of support for Windows 10 means an upgrade could be on the cards.

Another annoying thing the later the OS you go is disappearing and very hard-to-grab scroll bars everywhere. I'm like hunting for the damn thing, tickling the edge of the screen in various places, hoping to convince it to pop up and show itself - incredibly annoying
