Quote from: Vasudev on March 09, 2025, 05:55 PMNot sure if anyone noticed Windows 11 23H2/24H2 are completely broken for me while creating custom ISOs. I will be switching default firefox to chromium. Transition is hard on my old linux laptop which has bookmarks with tags from 15+ yrs. Tried out Thorium but it was buggy with Google Sign in. Brave has UI stutters on linux. On mobile, Brave working without any issues. Increased my battery life by 20-28% or it could be latest kernel update 6.1 on Pixel March update.

24H2 is broken. I don't want it until they fix it. I found a solution to the issue with mapping drives, but it's not just that. I'm running 23H2 on my new rig and so far it's OK, at least for the most part.

If switching to a Chromium browser I strongly suggest you take a look at the Iron Browser at https://srware.net/iron - this is a carbon copy of Google Chrome but without the telemetry and all the other garbage. It's lean and mean and I recommend it highly. It what I use for sites that either demand Chromium browser or won't run well under Firefox. I might add that as of this writing I have version 131 of Iron, and I'm still running those extensions Google wants to get rid of (e.g., Ublock Origin).

I might add Iron also comes in a portable version. You could try it and just remove it if you don't like it.
I was using Thorium and found this article on chromium fork https://chromium.woolyss.com/#browsers
SRware iron is using old outdated version. Current stable version 134.x.89 and dev build is 136. You can find it in the same link above if you want to try avx512 builds to check performance on new rig.
Brave is good but only problem is, bookmark icon can't be moved or hidden so went with chromium for near stock experience on Linux and windows.

I believe the dubious distinction of the most sparsely populated country belongs to Mongolia. Not even 4 million people in a country not much smaller than Kazakhstan.

All that's for you? Is that in a single sitting or do you cook for a few days?

Tonight, I'm going to show you another recipe (even if it was already presented on the forum).

Look at the photos below.

Here are the ingredients to prepare a raclette: some potatoes, some French rosette (humbert may know this as salchichon in Spanish), and the raclette cheese.


Here, the potatoes are being cooked in a stockpot.


It's normally required to have a raclette device for such a dish in order to melt the cheese. But raclette is not a traditional dish in the US, in India or in Sweden, and I guess that humbert, Vasudev or shadow.97 are not equipped with such an elaborate device.


That's why we are going to melt the cheese with a simple frying pan.


Once the cheese is melted you can pour it on the potatoes.



Note that a raclette is usually accompanied with a white wine.

If you want to show us a foreign version of the raclette, it would certainly provoke a feeling of "jamais vu" within the users the forum.

shadow.97 and Maher must be wondering what it is.
Actually, you can see a chicken thigh and some potatoes. They are cooked in a stockpot. A chicken thigh is called "cuisse de poulet" in French.


Here you can see the cooked chicken thigh and the potatoes.


It's a fine recipe suggestion if you want to prepare a meal for your guests.

Look at the photos below.



Here we can see an uncooked pork roast (rôti in French).


The pork roast was cooked in a stockpot. It is accompanied with fresh green beans. The beans were sauteed in butter with parsley.
