RIP Woody Leonhard
A reader informed me that legendary Windows guru Woody Leonhard has passed away.
His contributions to the Windows are too numerous to count.
You can see his obituary at the site he founded, AskWoody.com.
Years ago had some kind words for my site and I was humbled and grateful.
Godspeed sir.

New Drivers From Intel
Linux Mint 22.1 Install
I’ve got Linux Mint 22.1 installed and running fine in a VMware virtual machine. As many of you know I do much of my computing in my Linux Mint VMs.
I did not do an upgrade because going from Linux Mint 21.3, which I was running, required going from 21.3 to 22 to 22.1 and frankly I wasn’t in the mood.
Here are a few screenshots. Click on them for full sized.

Linux Mint 22.1 Is Out
“Linux Mint 22.1 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2029.”
Blog Post (has full list of download links) | New Features | Release Notes
Notable in the release notes are virtual machine display issues.
I’m still on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. That is now 2 versions behind. I will test out the new version in the next few weeks, most likely doing an in place upgrade first.
