Windows has ruined my computer after one round of forced Windows Update. Thankfully, Powershell is still working enough to let me robocopy everything so that I can safely reinstall an OS.

Right now, my dilemma stands on the following:

• Do I just bite the bullet and move straight to CachyOS?
• Or just install Windows IoT?

For background, I’m using CachyOS for my daily driver and Windows for work-related things. While I’m familiar with both, I’ve since struggled so hard with making my daily work tools such as CapCut and Premiere Pro function with CachyOS.

Additionally, it also affects the reverse engineering work as it seems that Unity 5.6.5p1 can only be ran on Wine, and that the windowing for it is so broken that it cuts the title bar whenever the mouse gets out of focus. I know that native Linux support for Unity does exist for newer versions, but as you can see, the refactoring work will take a while with the old versions until we get to the natively-supported version.

Unfortunately, I’ve decided to just go try out Windows IoT instead in hopes of making this laptop faster with a smaller OS footprint as well. I might move the development to my other CachyOS laptop (which is my personal use one) once I refactored up to the natively supported version.

I guess it won’t hurt having a Windows machine to test the desktop client for the RE’d game.

Again, apologies. I’ll make time soon to give an update re: the reverse engineering progress.
