Tux Paint for Windows rebuilt with ARM64 compatibility

We received a report that the Windows build of Tux Paint would not run on a Microsoft Surface, and team member Shin-ichi rebuilt the installer EXE version of Tux Paint 0.9.35 with x64 and ARM64 compatibility, so now it does! :)

Enjoy!

oh ok

[verilog-official]

what is your CPU arch

x86

x86-64/amd64 (bleh)

arm/armel/armhf

arm64/aarch64

ia64 (can I marry you)

ppc/ppc64 (the ones in the old macs)

ppc64el (the new ppc ones I think)

RISCV (oo ily)

I successfully got Zorin OS 16.3 Core running on an ARM64 Machine. It's like 5 AM, and I'm literally writing this on the ARM Linux version of Firefox because I just needed to. It took me hours of just trying to read between the lines of vaguely related forum posts and doing my best, as someone who doesn't really consider themselves a Linux pro, but I eventually got something right, and now I have Zorin OS running on an M1 iMac via a UTM Virtual Machine, despite there being no official or unofficial ARM version of Zorin OS Core. Idk what to do with this knowledge, so I'm just letting everyone here know because idk what else to do, and I'm kinda excited it actually worked (and is working well) because I really wasn't expecting this to happen.

Starting Production🎉🥂

ZippOS is an alternate operating system for stand alone “spacial computing” devices. The goal of this project is to provide end users, who at their own discression, void their warranties to replace pre-packaged software bundled with their hardware. As the lead developer of ZippOS, and as an end user of a “spacial computer”, I am displeased with the current operating software, and the decisions of parent companies that distribute these products are inheriently unstable, brown-nosing share holders and consumers, and completely unaligned with the end users. As these devices are marketed as computers, I want to provide software for said computers as a choice for the end-users who feel the same as I do.

ZippOS will be a lighter(get it?), faster booting operating system built from scratch with Rust-Lang and some ARM/RISC-V assembly code to replace both the BIOS (ZIOS) and the operating system. The operating system’s goal is to have the same user functionality and multimedia multi-instancing in a mixed reality setting, citing BeOS/HaikuOS as inspiration. This operating system will have security and graceful degradation as the main focus for user safety because the main enemy for ZippOS is the companies who made the stock software it replaces on the end-user’s spacial computer. Users can also enjoy various stimulating options for navigating the software (i.e. “rolodex” style hub menus, table-top program/application storefront, “grabbing” and “throwing” programs/screens to be cast/mirrored to and from realspace and cyberspace, etc). ZippOS is a project software operating system under development, and currently has no plans to publicly publish to the open net, nor are there any current plans to open-source the software.

I made another little blog post!

You can read it here, and it’s about trying out asahi linux, the new(ish) distribution of linux for arm macs. tldr; it works really well, honestly better than linux ever worked for me on intel macs, and imo anyone who has an arm mac should try it out.

this post is gonna be the first of 3 about trying out different systems - around this same time, i also made a small tool for cargo, rust’s package manager/build system, to help migrate configs between machines, and i also tried out nix. building the cargo tool wasn’t too bad, though there were some things about it that irked me, and nix was, to put it kindly, an experience i never want to go through again.

hopefully i’ll be able to get out the blog posts for those other two things, and yall can let me know your thoughts :)
