• Meshnet only supported in Windows 10

  After Windows 7 End of Life I decided it was too risky to use Windows 7 on any machine connected to the internet. Same reason I don't use Windows-XP anymore. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Bitwarden 2022.8 crashes on Windows 7

  Please note that Windows 7 is no longer actively supported by Microsoft (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-7) and we can no longer guarantee backwards compatibility in cases like this. Source: almost 2 years ago

• "We back up all of our data every night..."

  I'd tie it to Microsoft's support lifecycle. Even Windows 7 is out of extended support now. Source: about 2 years ago

• Once billed as a revolution in medicine, IBMs Watson Health is sold off in parts

  Windows 7 went EOL in on Jan 14, 2020. Are you talking about the Extended Security Update? That ends Jan 10, 2023. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-7. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• June 30th, 2024, will bring the End of Life (EOL) of CentOS Linux

  Another suitable option, which has handled the situation of Red Hat source RPM releases[1] quite a bit better imo, is Alma Linux. https://almalinux.org/ Similar goal, but is working more directly upstream with Red Hat[2] as opposed to the (as I last had read) undisclosed and non-open approach that Rocky Linux has taken. 1: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream 2:... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• what is the typical size of Linux updates?

  This might be a good use case for RHEL family distribution (such as CentOS Stream or AlmaLinux) or Debian. These are much longer lived distributions, and provide fewer update churn over time than other distributions. Source: about 1 year ago

• Can't get Nagios to work on Ubuntu 22.04

  If If you feel more comfortable on a RHEL based distro, there a good alternatives to CentOS such as AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux. Source: about 1 year ago

• Rust language forked by community into Crab

  This situation still exists and Gregory Kurtzer's RockyLinux (Greg started CentOS originally), CloudLinux's AlmaLinux, and others exist to fill the need for a freely installable RHEL clone. Source: about 1 year ago
