Their CEO is also Kirt McMaster

Isn't this the same guy that said he was "going to put a bullet in Google's head"?

I think I'll pass on anything this guy touches.

The fix script replaces ucrtbase.dll, which is the exact file that needs to be replaced in AoE2 to fix multilayer desync.

Three things I wish worked in AoE2 are:

• native multiplayer desync fix


• multicore support


• Xbox live sign-in

Quoting: tmtvl

Quoting: rustybroomhandleStories like this happen every few years. In the early 2010s, a local government in some European city (I forget which) announced they were entirely switching to Linux in all their public service departments. 2 weeks go by, "no, sorry we're sticking with Windows". Turns out they had a visit from a Microsoft sales rep.

The Munich affair? Yeah, that was something. It's FOSS has a piece on it: https://itsfoss.com/munich-linux-failure/ [External Link]

So I've followed that story since it was first reported in 2003. The last I read about it was in 2018/2019 when they ultimately decided to stay with Linux. Despite the link you shared dating to within the last year, I cannot find any other bit of news or info about them switching back to Windows a second time. That article reads a lot like the articles from 2015.

From what I know and from what I've been able to find, Munich as been using Linux for their workstations for the past few years and have not gone back to Microsoft.

Edit: yup. I'm right. The article says "after a decade of using Linux" which puts it at about 2015 when they had announced going back to Microsoft. The article you linked to has comments going back 6 years (around 2017/2018 when the news was making the rounds). And the link to the source in the article is dead.

As of right now, Munich is the Linux and FOSS success story we want.

:O You mad man! Stop giving them ideas!

Actually, what do I care? I don't use Windows. But still, I'm almost sure it will eventually come to that.
