Like curious ones who become patients in A&E, after putting things in
orifices that have no business being there!

Some say, we can use W11 on a Pi without cost. But no. It's just a try.

I would never miss Raspi OS ;-)

Windows-10/32 runs OK on an RPi-400 for non-critical programs. One at a
time. Try the Twister OS.

I've not tried it, but I suspect it would crawl rather than run.

So does the ARM64 port of Office apparently!

I don't like Windows at all. Only uses it if I have to.

The charming Raspi 400 declares finally a kind of "one linux for all".
For example in schools, books or videos.

Linux finally looks all the same.

I choose the programs I want to run first, then the best OS on which to
run that software. Yes, the Raspberry Pi OS is a good one, and I use it
but with both the graphical and command-line interfaces.

If, like me, you have software which requires Windows, it's good to know
that running on the RPi 400 may be an option.

For the more recent members of this group: Its also worth remembering
that WINE is available for most Linux installations: its an APi
translation layer over the Linux kernel that allows Windows applications
to be run without the need to have Windows running in a VM and, unlike
actual Windows, can still run games etc. that were developed under
versions of Windows that are no longer supported.

It's available for Raspbian and supports 32bit binaries. I've only run it
on X86 Fedora distros, but the implication of having it available for
Raspbian is that it should run 32 bit X86 binaries on an RPi. It is,
however, quite a large chunk of code since it probably runs under an
emulator on ARM systems and consists of a shedload of libraries that
emulate Windows APIs.

Yes, hence the reference a while ago to TwisterOS which prepackages Wine
and other stuff for a polished experience. I didn't know either, but as
they explain on their page https://twisteros.com/about.html it's
actually Box86 (or QEMU) that translates from x86 to Arm and Wine that
interprets the Windows calls.

Yes, I wondered about that: thanks for the confirmation.

In my (limited) experience QEMU works well on an RPi (512Mb Pi 2B). The
PICAXE Basic compiler runs in a modified QEMU instance. I've done little
so far except to verify that it works and that the generated binary is
successfully transferred to a PICAXE chip where it runs OK.

Suggests: Notfall und Unfall.

Although, last time I went was because of a fall, so it seems like a bit
of a silly language.
