@framework Has anyone here got ideas about how to deal with a false delivery notice from FedEx?

No response yet from Framework via the support link in the order confirmation e-mail.

#fedex have form for this. Someone (driver?) 'signs' for the package, which never arrives. Customer kicks up a stink, then FedEx sometimes find it down the back of a sofa 2 days later.

This seems very, very dodgy to me!

@Contramuffin Well, well!

Today, FedEx said the parcel was still stuck in customs, then 20 mins later someone who said he is a neighbour brought it around on foot, saying it was delivered to his pkace 2 days ago.

Vikki didn't recognise him from the local area...

@Contramuffin Anyway, parcel undamaged/unopened.

Fedora 39 running nicely. Very happy :-)

I've had a thought--previous machine had Windows 8.1 Pro for one old app, and I need 1 copy of Windows anyway.

How about keeping Fedora as my daily driver, with #VMware Workstation running an image of my old Windows 8.1 Pro?

Any 'gotcha' I should worry about?

@Contramuffin I decided to give it a go, and downloaded Workstation bundle and ran it. Installed OK, but running VMware it needs kernel-headers-6.5.10-300.fc39.x86_64 and I can't find that anywhere, so I guess it's a bit soon for Fedora 39 :-)
