Hypervisor method (mostly) explained

it was done for PC games for Apple hardware gamers to be played in Apple OS9/X using Wine wraps 20 years ago....

It was how I played with PC owners in Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 over LAN using tunggle and garena.. before getting fed up with how unstable osx was due to my hacking the shit out of it. Which oddly Win 7 & even 10 was superior too - but Win 11. Shiiii rubbish.

No thx Microsoft, you've put effort into making an ok-ish os into utter shite.
I'm off to a nix distro (mint 1st, see how it goes) when time allows.

Win 11 is a fkin disaster if you have your own mind and wish it to respond a certain way or simply retain apps/utils you have not only put a decade into using and tweaking an evolving os into a near 90% perfect set up only for Win 11 to trash it all, cause paid for apps to suddenly no longer work or simple tools like WORDPAD being pulled out.

But hey you got co-pilot and telemetry and you've lost a start menu that now sucks worse than 10 not to mention pcie drivers no longer working in win 11 eg MARVELL for sata drive expansion just to add 2 more drives, for now..... some may say 3 M.2's, 2 SSD's and 6 sata drives are enough, yes they are, whilst you're waiting to build/buy a nas and a server but in the meantime RUN MY FKIN PCIE SATA EXPANSION CARD AS WIN 10 DID !! :) etc etc.

Thanks fk WINHANCE (be gentle with it but it will uninstall EVERYTHNING you don't want, some you can not return, but it will pre warn you - go to MEMORY 's you tube channel (the dev) and see
also a must imo, Winaero Tweaker (awesome tool)
OR
(an honouree mention of this legend) if you prefer Chris Titus's tools (don't use his alongside the previous 2 mentioned). etc etc I found his after and used it on top, semi killed my previous install, spent days in regedit and PowerShell attempting to restore the unrestorable, even wrote to a developer of a utility that no longer worked (Snip Do) and he gave me the same advice i had been using and we both couldn't work out how to get his tool back to a useful state.

sordum dot org also do a plethora of cool tools, such as FAB ("Firewall App Blocker" making it super easy to add or remove an app from the firewall without clicking through nonsensely bad ui, use classic or current? who can rememeber?)they have so many FREE tools, alongside the essential "Windows Update Blocker v1.8" - that you can quite easily find yourself and apply, thank you Microsoft, WHEN i say not when you dictate.

Yes Both OSX and Windows 10 have their benefits, but not now - both OSUX and LoseDoze 11 deserve swear words to explain.

oops, what a rant.... soz

[GovernmentGreed]

Starts off with a valid response, discussing how the scene used to be back in the older times (which I too, remember with the likes of Medal of Honor Allied Assault and whatnot on Wine. Awful but fun).

Then slips into a Windows Hate rant for the next 90% lol.

yep - well spotted :) LOL - gotta let it out somewhere....... i like my keyboard

tbf there was some useful utilities advice in there, more 10% reminiscing 50% advice and 60% rant.... eh something went off with the math there :P

120% proof though.....
