    You use the normal remote desktop client in windows, which displays an X desktop on the remote *nix machine. Google will turn up all kinds of advice on setting things up, for example: Fedora 40 : Configure Xrdp Server : Server World

  5. Poodlefaking WintoGO so it updates to new build via WU.

    That was just the first link shown by google when I searched for PortableOperatingSystem. As a fellow skinflint, I use Rufus to create Win-to-Go USB drives (win10 only though, for use on Macs).

On the other hand, you don't really need your win11 enterprise iso to install win11 enterprise. A win10 or win11 pro install will be morphed to enterprise if you change the...
  14. Gurus help needed Windows batch script to convert text file into csv file

    The previously offered powershell command renames the file without altering the contents. Try this: get-content ifile.txt | %{$_ -replace " *", ","} > ofile.csv Note that after the -replace, there are 2 spaces before the asterisk. This should be equivalent to your sed command, replacing...
