A lot of computer users are becoming dissatisfied and disillusioned
with the present trends of the Micro$lop OS.

But we must always acknowledge that Micro$lop, compared to GNU/Linux,
has ALWAYS been a crap system. There is nothing special about the
present degeneration of Micro$lop. Knowledgeable computing connoisseurs
have ALWAYS despised Micro$lop and their judgments are nothing new.

Anyone who has not already long ago abandoned junk Micro$slop is, I
am not sorry to say, a complete IDIOT.

I can assure you that Pan is not exclusive to Windows, unless you mean
that he's using a GUI and being the complete and utter hypocrite he always
is?

There is a Windows installer for 0.146 but 0.146 also was released for
Linux. I'm using 0.162.

Even in my Linux Mint 21.3 repository, Pan 0.149 is available. I don't know what version is available using 22.x. ...

Okay, booted my laptop on Linux Mint 22.1 ... Pan 0.155. As usual, DuFuS is confused.

No, 0.146 is definitely available for Linux. Just DuFuS trolling or lying or being dazed and confused.

I think Ubuntu and its derivatives usually stick with whatever version of
Pan was current when that version of Ubuntu was released. I'm pretty sure
you could compile a newer version (from Pan's GitHub site) if there was some new feature you wanted.

For some reason I thought 0.146 was exclusive to Windows.

Whatever, that's the version Feeb posts with from his Windows job,
during the day. In the evenings he used a higher version nbr for Linux.
