Just saying Hello, BIG thanks to Glenn as I'm currently running LastOS Ever After Edition v09!
Currently grabbing the latest from Jan (via torrent) - looking forward to seeing if there are many differences when I drop it on the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 I picked up for £65 on ebay (tail end of the forced company hardware upgrades from WinBork11 that filled up ebay last year)
Cheers!!
 
Glad your getting some use out of my work, I know many hundreds of thousands have, but only a few stop by to say hello.

The worst part of making solid solutions is nobody comes by with problems, so your not sure if what you do is valuable or not. It saves me time and I have a group of friends with similar interests, so it's still a win for me regardless.

I know I went full Linux before most others, but I just like being ahead of the curve, was 25H2 Public Preview when I decided Microsoft were breaking everything (August 29, 2025), but I even knew while reading the new so in July 2025 I made the decision to move to Linux, glad I did, it made computers fun again. It's just a shame I refuse to work on Windows 11 now - even to help friends/family. I wont support a system I don't use or intend to ever use. The only reason I even include it in my AIO is because the install and tweaks are the same, but all the extras are not!
 
I absolutely agree with your sentiments regarding WInBork11 - believe it or not, I'd been stubbornly holding out like a screaming luddite and using windows 7 ((Running CLassic Shell to look as much like Win2000/XP as possible)) until I installed LastOS ever After v9 (v8 had an issue of some kind if I recall??) and Iv been merrily buggering about on t'internet and such like feeling like a proper modern 20th century Wizz-Kid! Only thing Iv had to change on old version 9 was an updated version of StartIsBackPlusPlus - v2.9.21 as the older one made the pc booted into a black screen that wouldnt run windows explorer after the update in November 25. You Truly are a Scholar And A Gentleman for the sterling REAL WORK you've done and not even asking for a cup of coffee in return! ;-) :bananadance:
 
To fix the black screen issue you hold in the escape key, this was a known issue with StartAllBack, but yes, LLStore has the newer version of StartAllBack and it'll fix it too once you press the escape key as windows starts (or even on the black screen). This was the down side to MS updates break thing in Windows 10, it's settled down now, so I assume the SiB creator found a more reliable way that doesn't break between MS updates.

We all need coffee, I already get government assistance to survive, so the least I can do is provide something of value. I've not worked a paid job since 2005. but I've not sat around doing nothing, drinking and feeling sorry for myself, I was just unable to use phones for voice calls, my anxiety wouldn't let me sleep at all before needing to do things the next day etc etc, so I wasn't capable of even applying for jobs as the rejection over and over was too much for me back then... I wasn't aware I was going through Autistic Burnout at that stage, the doctors just said I had major depression and put me on pills. Anyway like I said, I made LastOS and I raised 6 kids over the last 27 years.

With the cost of living, things are getting very hard for me, but until I am out on the street I wont complain. I already know I am a lot more educated about computers than 99% of all IT technicians. Just another area in my life I am in the 1% to 2% of the "usual". But I just hate greed and money. Doing things for money has always bothered me, now AI is going to make huge changes to what work is available, I was just ahead of the curve once again. Almost the entire generation of working age kids have felt it's not worth the effort as they can't afford to move out of their parents house, let alone buy one for them to start a family. Money has broken the system through inequality and until things change back to progress before profits, the world will continue to go down hill. We need share spaces, community and purpose/goals and dreams. else we are just the cogs of a machine designed to extract as much money as they can. Just to make a billion air feel the most superior in a room, because after $30 million, does life offer anything better? so why keep making profit value go up, but quality of life for your friends and family go down?, seemed a logical conclusion to me when I was just 13, but I was coding my Commodore 64 when I was 11 and didn't stop coding since.

I used to fight against it all and struggled to be as normal as I can. but now I go with the flow and just accept what I can't change. Time is the only thing I have and I don't waste it at all as I want nothing but peace, deciding to let it all go meant I could live in peace before I rest in peace.Only costs my ego, I now question every ask my brain has, because 99% of the time, it lies to me and has no idea what it "needs".

I make the OS mods because I use them myself and I find them more find than crosswords and Sudoku etc. It's something that lets me feel accomplished and wind down. that's why when LastOS website got hacked over xmas. I was just going to walk away. If my work isn't publicly important, it's not worth being attacked over.
 
It was good of you to drop by and say hello. Yes i believe Glenn is a wizz kid and he should get medal at least for all his hard work.
I too have hard time over the past few years, with my brother passing away due to cancer and i've not in the best of health like the song says "knocking on heaens door". I often think that when i pass that some oeople will rememember me. Not too long ago a friend of mine had passed away he was a brillinat guy who learned mnderin chinese and he wwas so good he would correct the chinese i was so impressed by him, he was about 10 years younger then me. We were all sad that ge had to go.

Well it is good to see LastOS uop and running again and when i get stong enough i will make the transition to LastOsLinux as my more permanent main OS and say bbms and go back tto where it all began msdos6.22 ah... a command prompt with todays speed of computers i'm sure that typing the ommand 'dir' i will see the files list zip by. hmmm.. all of a suden i have this craving for mint :)
