Backup Portable USB

Submitted by pierre65 on January 24, 2025 - 5:28am

I would just like to point out that the current backup of Portable apps
use version 24.07 of 7-zip
which has deprecated for security issues
would have to be changed with the 24.09 release ?
Thank you

Rufus Portable Is Grayed Out

Submitted by illyriad on January 6, 2025 - 7:34pm

I downloaded portable Rufus but when I go to use it the functions are grayed out and the Media Creation Tool I downloaded does not appear in the App. My laptop is an Acer Aspire E15 and my OS is Windows 10 Lite by Phoenix. I am trying to put Windows 10 22H2 back on my PC instead of the Phoenix App, but I cannot make the bootable USB with Rufus. Any ideas? Thanks.

Which distro for updateable apps?

Submitted by Vicinal on December 19, 2024 - 4:42am

Used Ubuntu for 2 years in late 2000s.

Eventually moved back since individual apps (Firefox, Chrome) couldn't receive feature updated outside the 6 month cycle, only security updates. I found that asinine.

Needs are basic, I live on the browser full time. Polish and eye candy preferred but not essential. Real time upstream apps are.

Also if anything is compatible with Snapdragon ARM chips, that would be nice

Thanks
