Switzerland's Federal Chancellery is preparing to offer a FOSS workplace suite to some 3,000 employees – but the Swiss Armed Forces are pushing ahead faster still. European interest in digital sovereignty isn't limited to the European Union: the Swiss Federal Chancellery plans to offer selected government employees a FOSS alternative that will run alongside Microsoft 365. The chancellery is launching the program with an initial 3,000 staff, out of some 47,000 federal employees. The platform is expected to become available to about 3,000 selected employees from the end of 2027, with the first phase forecast to cost CHF 9 million (£8.2 million, $11.1 million). For comparison, Swiss Radio reported last year that the federal government had spent CHF 1.1 billion (£1 billion, $1.4 billion) on Microsoft licenses. The program follows the BOSS Proof of Concept feasibility study, which began last year and tested browser-based FOSS tools with 172 users. The English version of the report says: "Functions examined included document editing, email, calendar, contacts, tasks, file storage, audio and video conferencing, chat, and identity and access management." The study carefully spells out four limits to its scope: It would not replace Microsoft 365 It would not have 1:1 functionality It would not have full M365 compatibility It would not be permanent infrastructure It's important to make this stuff plain right at the start. Back in 2022, in a piece whose working title was You can't buy software, this vulture mentioned a member of one of his online communities who wanted to replace Microsoft software with free software – but demanded complete fidelity, including intact imports of all his Outlook files. This kind of exact and perfect match is basically impossible, and the four bullet points above strike us as a good effort at managing users' expectations. The Chancellery concluded that the browser-based suite was suitable in principle for key standard tasks, although it also identified technical and operational limitations. The next phase will cover less than 10 percent of federal employees and is expected to take about 15 months. The plan is to use the openDesk suite from the German state-owned enterprise ZenDIS. This is the same collaboration suite that we reported Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was adopting in July, following neighboring Schleswig-Holstein in 2025. The move is part of the Swiss government's Digital Switzerland Strategy 2026, announced in Bern at the end of 2025 – less than a month after its Federal Council's report on Swiss digital sovereignty. They also follow the 2024 introduction of the Federal Law on the Use of Electronic Means for the Fulfilment of Governmental Tasks – or EMBAG for short. The government has a fresh interest in open source – indeed, the Chancellery maintains an online catalog of its own open source tools. Back in July, Heise reported in English that the Swiss Armed Forces were making similar moves. It cites a German-language report from Swiss publication Republik, Die Cyber-Spezialisten des Bundes kehren Microsoft den Rücken – The federal government's cyber specialists are turning their backs on Microsoft – which has more details. The military is moving faster: Republik says it aims to complete the migration by October 2026 – next month at the time of writing. Again, there is a local precedent – this time, from Austria. In September last year, representatives of the Austrian military presented a talk at the LibreOffice Conference in Budapest: Migration to LibreOffice in the Austrian Armed Forces (ÖBH). Last month, the ÖBH gave a long interview to the Document Foundation about how and why: part 1 and part 2. ®

Microsoft has pumped ads into the Windows Start menu and pushed users through setup screens promoting its services. Now it's bringing advertising to the Windows desktop with a Harry Potter promotion in its Bing Wallpaper app. Users of Microsoft’s Bing Wallpaper app took to Reddit and Microsoft’s own Learn site, where users can post questions about Microsoft products and services, to ask why their usual rotation of scenic desktop wallpapers was interrupted Monday by an ad for Harry Potter films. The wallpaper displays a minimalist vector image of the Hogwarts castle from the film adaptations of author J.K. Rowling’s seven-book fantasy series along with text reading “Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts 11-film collection” and an additional line noting that all eleven movies in the series are “available now.” “Why in the world is my Bing wallpaper today an advertisement for a film collection, not a beautiful landscape or nature photo,” a Microsoft Learn poster identifying himself as Reed Miller said. “Will there be more advertisements, and if so, must I uninstall Bing wallpaper now to prevent them, or is there a way to opt out?” Reddit users similarly expressed dissatisfaction about their usual rotation of photographs being hijacked to advertise a movie collection. “Usually it's animals, landscapes, or architecture,” one poster noted. “Today it's shit.” While both Miller and Reddit commenters complained in part about Rowling’s transition from author of kids’ books about a young boy who grows up with a hidden identity to an anti-transgender activist, one need not lean on the fact that Rowling’s intellectual property is the one being advertised to find dissatisfaction with the move. Plenty of people leaving ratings on the Bing Wallpaper app’s Microsoft Store page since Monday made no mention of Rowling or her politics in their one-star reviews, only noting that they were upset the app had turned into one that delivers desktop ads. “What's next? Immediately uninstalled. Fair warning to everyone else,” one reviewer said. Another pointed out that the settings for Bing Wallpaper now note AI is used to generate some wallpapers served by the app. Others complained that there had to be a better way to monetize the Bing Wallpaper app. This isn’t the first time such a seemingly innocuous app has drawn criticism. As we noted in late 2024, the Bing Wallpaper app was spotted snooping on and decrypting browser cookies. When asked, Microsoft didn’t technically deny it, only telling us at the time that it didn’t peruse and decrypt “all user Edge and Chrome cookies,” with Firefox not getting a mention. Beyond the Bing Wallpaper app, Microsoft has a lengthy history of privacy controversies involving user data – and inserting ads into Windows, including Microsoft Store promotions that landed in the Windows 11 Start menu in 2024. One could argue that the many iterations of cramming Copilot into every corner of Windows in a bid to increase user numbers are tantamount to advertising, too. We reached out to Microsoft to get more info on the latest addition to its in-your-face advertising portfolio, but didn’t immediately hear back. In the meantime, your best bet might be uninstalling the Bing Wallpaper app before it hijacks your wallpaper. ®

The Asahi Linux gang has announced support for Apple's M3 silicon, with a few ifs and buts for owners that want to try out the code on their hardware. According to the project, "Asahi Linux now officially supports Macs with an M3 series SoC!" There are, however, some substantial caveats. Want performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration from the GPU? You'll need to wait a bit. How about the HDMI port? "The lack of DCP support means that the HDMI port on equipped MacBooks is currently disabled." Sleep does not work either, although the project noted: "This will be addressed once full DCP support is wired up for M3." Even with those limitations, it is quite a feat of reverse engineering. According to the project, almost everything supported on the M1 and M2 series machines "just works." This includes the webcam, internal microphones, USB, hardware-accelerated video decoding including support for AV1, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The lack of GPU support is nevertheless a significant limitation that will make anything other than a 2D desktop a painful experience. Work is underway, but the synopsis of a talk planned for the X.Org developer conference at the end of September points to hurdles caused by hardware differences from previous generations. Although support for M3-series machines has been merged into the installer, it remains gated behind Expert mode, meaning users must run the installer with EXPERT=1 enabled. The project aims to drop this requirement in time for the Fedora Linux 45 beta in a few weeks, barring any major regressions or other showstoppers. Apple debuted the M3 in 2023, and Asahi's support extends to the M3 Pro and M3 Max. The M3 Ultra, found in the Mac Studio, is not yet on the supported list. With luck, the work on M3, including its GPU, should stand the team in good stead when tackling Apple's subsequent chip generations. Apple announced the M6 last month. ®

Kumander Linux has been around for a few years now and version 3.0 is nearly ready, with some strong nostalgic appeal. We recently came across Kumander Linux and thought it was an interesting distro – although not technologically "interesting," which isn't always a good thing. Underneath, it's almost boring: Debian 13.6 with Xfce 4.20. These are safe, solid, sensible choices, combining a lightweight mainstream desktop with one of the most established Linux distros. What's not to like? What's fun about Kumander Linux is its looks. It makes a very convincing effort to look and work more or less like Windows 7. It doesn't go as far as the wholesale "borrowing" of commercial assets and trademarks seen in Wubuntu, AKA "Windows Linux," nor is it a strange, hacked-together combination of genuine Windows components like Classic 7. It uses a mixture of FOSS and freeware components. The office suite is LibreOffice 25.2, configured with a Microsoft-like ribbon UI. The image editor is GIMP 3.0.4, and it comes with native Linux versions of some familiar Windows tools, such as Google Chrome, PuTTY, Audacity, and VLC. Yes, Chrome isn't FOSS, but it's a much more widely used web browser than Firefox. The customizations go beyond appearances, with some of Xfce's stock tools replaced. For instance, Xfce's slightly feeble Task Manager has been replaced by a tool that was new to us, System Manager. There's also an easy point-and-click Software Center. Both were written by distro developer Roy Hoejgaard. The presence of non-FOSS tools such as Chrome means that a few additional repositories are configured. Flatpak and WINE are both preinstalled, but neither comes with any apps preloaded. One simple but effective touch is that the Start menu lists popular apps from Ardour and Blender to the Steam client, suffixed with Installer. These are not the applications themselves, but handy links for downloading and installing them. Kumander isn't the smallest distro – it's a 4.25 GB download, and a full install takes 11 GB of disk. Even so, providing installation links rather than preinstalling all those applications makes it substantially smaller than Zorin OS Pro, for instance. Xfce is pretty lightweight, and Kumander Linux 3 takes about 725 MB of RAM at idle. In places, we do feel that the customization has perhaps gone a little too far. For instance, when we opened a terminal window, we found that the default shell prompt said C:/home/lproven>. Familiar to a nervous Windows migrant, yes, but almost misleading – there are no drive letters here. It's harmless, though. The distro's About page explains a little of its history. The name is an indirect tribute to Commodore computers – it's "Commander," but spelled the Filipino way. We think this is the first distro we've seen from the Philippines. The changes to Xfce are modest: Kumander doesn't even use the docklike plugin for a Windows 7-style taskbar with pinned applications. Instead, it has its own Quicklaunch plugin. This is documented – unlike some other customized distros, it has a page with links to the repositories of all custom components, which is good to see. Even the Extended Security Updates scheme only has slightly over a year left. The international edition of Windows 10 LTSC is nearing the end too. Only the IoT edition has years left. If you're disenchanted with Windows 11 and modern flat user interfaces in general, you have our sympathies. If you miss the gradients, transparency, and overall look of Windows in the Noughties, but want Debian stability and Xfce simplicity, Kumander Linux 3 offers an appealing combination. The current build is Release Candidate 2, and it looks close to being ready. ®

It looks like the Racoon has bedded in and settled down, as Canonical releases the first point release of this year’s Ubuntu LTS version, offering an upgrade to users on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat). Ubuntu 26.04.1 is the first point release of April’s long-term support version, which will be supported until 2031. Assuming that it follows the pattern of previous Ubuntu LTS releases, 26.04.1 will be followed by four further point releases – usually, the final release comes a little while after the following LTS release. That means Ubuntu 26.04.5 should arrive some time after Ubuntu 28.04 - meaning in or around September 2028. It’s accompanied by most of the remixes releasing matching point releases: Kubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, and Ubuntu Cinnamon. Notably, two flavors are missing from this list. There are 10 official flavors but only eight point releases lists. There was no official 26.04 release of Ubuntu MATE. Maintainer Martin Wimpress has stepped down – he has a new project called Nøughty Linux he’s working on instead. There’s not much to see on the website yet, but if you’re curious, his talk at the 2025 Ubuntu Summit will give you a taste. Ubuntu Unity isn’t in that list, either. That remix missed the 25.10 release cycle because lead developer Rudra Saraswat – whom we first talked to in 2022, when he was 12 – is at university. The good news is that some developers did step up to help and there is an Ubuntu Unity 26.04 release. It replaces a bunch of subcomponents of the previous version, though, and that means it’s officially not an LTS release. Ubuntu Unity users should be aiming for the 26.10 release instead. This first point release has a few consequences we can expect. One is that for LTS users, it’s upgrade time, if you are planning on trying to stay current. Canonical does not start offering new version upgrades to LTS users until the first point release. Now that Raring-point-one is here, people running Ubuntu 24.04 “Noble Numbat” will start to see offers to upgrade to the new version. This applies to those running their Ubuntu servers as pets, rather than herding them like cattle. One of the things that really crumples the cardigans of hardcore Debianisti is that Canonical inserts messages into the output of the apt command. So the upgrade offers won’t be limited to graphical desktop users. Another consequence, albeit less concerned with any of the official flavors, is that System 76’s Pop!_OS 26.04 is expected soon. The company said on LinkedIn that they were aiming for an end-June release date. That didn’t happen. The team is certainly hard at work. Its in-house COSMIC desktop hit version 1.0 in December last year, and earlier this week, it released COSMIC version 1.7.0. That means that the next Pop!_OS will now use Ubuntu 26.04.1. The Reg FOSS desk is becoming quite fond of COSMIC and Pop!_OS, after a fairly shaky start. It feels quite a bit faster than Ubuntu itself, and on our newer testbed laptop – a 2018 Dell XPS13 – it’s not only very fast to start, but its ability to change the screen DPI on the fly is very handy. On older kit, it can make effective use of NVIDIA GPUs that the official binary driver can no longer use on modern kernels, although we have seen it freeze up quite a few times on those 10-15 year old machines. COSMIC is new and it’s developing faster than any other desktop in the Linux world. The team has ambitious plans for “Epoch 2” and beyond. At the rate they’re moving, perhaps Pop!_OS 26.04 will come with COSMIC 2. ®

Microsoft has dropped Windows 11 26H2 into the Windows Insider Release Preview Channel and released August's preview update. Windows 11 26H2 shares the same servicing branch as Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, and many of the tweaks and updates that users are looking forward to have already appeared in the monthly Windows updates. The latest, the August Preview Update, includes such modifications as the long-awaited movable taskbar, more Start Menu customization, and the ability to drop web and Microsoft Store suggestions from local results in Windows Search. The update will turn up via an enablement package – a relatively small piece of code that switches on functionality already downloaded, but currently dormant. "Think of it as a switch rather than a full operating system replacement," Microsoft wrote. It's considerably more compact than a multi-gigabyte full download and reinstall of an operating system. Resetting the support clock The shared codebase and shared updates – Windows 11 26H2 will share the same release note KB identifiers as 25H2 and 24H2 – might have some users wondering about the point. One answer is support. For example, support for the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 24H2 ends on October 13, 2026. Windows 11 26H2 resets this clock, with 24 months of support for Home and Pro versions, and 36 months for Enterprise and Education editions. Enterprises will still need to validate the new release. The servicing branch is the same, and if something works with Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2, it should work with Windows 11 26H2. However, Microsoft still recommends "testing with devices running recent versions of Windows 11 to confirm compatibility with your apps, policies, and infrastructure." Some organizations will have already done this, while others will have waited until the Release Preview milestone was reached. Microsoft took careful aim at its foot when it skipped the Release Preview stage and released the infamous document-destroying Windows 10 October 2018 update. It has been considerably more cautious in the years since. The move to Release Preview was accompanied by the August Preview Update, which included a raft of improvements, but was also greeted with dismay by some users complaining of problems with cursors and black desktop backgrounds following the installation. As far as Microsoft is concerned, it is not currently aware of any issues with the update. ®

The controversial Omarchy distro is attracting both criticism and fans – and financial support, too. Omarchy is an opinionated respin of Arch Linux and a pet project of Ruby on Rails creator David Heinemeier Hansson, better known as DHH. Although the first release was as recent as June last year, this week sees the release of Omarchy 4.0.1 – a security fix for the mid-August Omarchy 4 “Quattro”. Although it started out just over a year ago, Omarchy now has a sibling project Omakub, which is based on Ubuntu, and an organization behind it called Omacom. A week ago, DHH announced the launch of the Omacom Foundation with $8 million. Its founding patrons include figures behind Shopify, Stripe, Dell, Block, Cloudflare, Sesame, and 37signals - closely followed by people behind Dropbox and OpenClaw, taking the total to $10 million. The project, like the man behind it, is controversial. But that means attention, and an “opinionated distro” gets opinionated reviews. Some of the criticism is strong stuff: for instance, Merchants of Insecurity, whose top line is: “First, a PSA: Do NOT use Omarchy if you care about security of your machine even a little bit.” Author “One Happy Fellow” is not the first: last year, a member of Framework's community forums posted Omarchy is not a secure distribution and should be taken off the Linux installation options. Others like it or give it a guarded thumbs up while saying it’s not for them. There really is no such thing as bad publicity. As P. T. Barnum put it: "Say anything you like about me, but spell my name right." DHH is no stranger to controversy. We suspect he doesn’t mind at all. The Register reported in late 2025 that Framework, known for its repairable laptops, was sponsoring Omarchy and Hyprland, and in turn, multiple people criticized Framework for sponsoring such controversial projects. That piece linked to some of the criticism of DHH, but he has been attracting criticism since at least 2014. We tried it, and it does work. It has a unique UI based on the Hyprland tiling compositor and a panel and menus provided in the new release by Quickshell. This is heavily keyboard-driven, but ignores almost all existing keyboard shortcuts and UI conventions from other OSes. There are no title bars, let alone close buttons or anything like that. No middle-click or right-click app menus. The jaded take of the Reg FOSS desk, who is a big fan and advocate of keyboard-driven UIs, is that such things usually reflect ignorance of existing user interface standards. We found it a bit clunky. We had to install an additional tool, hypermon, in order to be able to make our testbed machine’s second display useful. You can’t use established pacman commands to update it – you must use the custom omarchy update script, and when trying that in a VM, we hit a known bug. On hardware, it worked fine. It’s Arch, extensively preconfigured. Lots of apps are preinstalled, and the selection is surprising and not typical of a FOSS product. The selection includes Discord and WhatsApp for communications, Docker, Obsidian for note-taking, Neovim as an editor, and OBS Studio for streaming. There are optional extras for using speech, automatic dictation via Voxtype, and other unusual features. There’s a terminal-based music player, cliamp. (We like the name of that one, and may keep it around.) There are, of course, options to add AI tools – one of the startup messages invites you to configure your preferred plastic pal who’s fun to be with LLM bot. It’s pretty big. A default install (not that there is any other kind) took 14 GB of disk space after the first update. It did install in a VM with a 16 GB virtual disk, but there wasn’t enough disk space to update the OS. It uses about 1.5 GB of memory at idle. It’s not lightweight, but then, Omarchy definitely comes with batteries included, as well as (to quote a friend’s old email signature) “bells and whistles, plus a couple of gongs. Don’t forget the horns, the custard pies and the water-powered whirling knives.” If you don’t know your way around existing environments or distros, want something fashionable and snazzy looking, and are willing and happy to jump in and learn, then this is an interesting new option. You may not agree with the politics and views behind it, but you must be able to either tolerate them – or ignore them. It works, it’s quite fast, it looks striking, and it does the job. If you just want something clean, fast, pretty, and with tiling by default, personally, we’d suggest Pop!_OS instead. ®

AROS is an all-FOSS re-implementation of AmigaOS, and after years of effort, it now supports Arm kit – both 32-bit and 64-bit Raspberry Pi hardware, especially the Pi 3. The AROS project's nightly builds page has some interesting new offerings. Notably, there's raspi-aarch64-system for 64-bit capable Raspberry Pi hardware, including the Pi 3 and Pi Zero, and raspi-armhf-system for older ARMv6 based devices. We first mentioned AROS 13 years ago, and last took a proper look in May 2025. Building a version of AROS that runs natively on Arm processors has been a long term goal, as the AROS Arm support page details. It has made good progress, though, and now the nightly images include a version which runs well on the Raspberry Pi 3. (Unfortunately, the Reg FOSS desk’s Pi 3 is currently running PiHole full-time, and Pi 4 support is slightly lagging, with no sound or networking.) There's no specific mention of what has changed on the project's Github repo, but we suspect that some judicious use of LLM has enabled this sudden burst of progress. Since May 2026, there have been 13 commits by Claude Code. Even so, it works. This is an existing, human-written OS which can now boot and run on a Raspberry Pi 3. The install images are small – only slightly over 100 MB in size – but if you want to give them a try, you should also copy the contents of the additional raspi-aarch64-contrib or raspi-armhf-contrib files, which contain an additional gigabyte of compressed files with apps, demos, accessories, and supplementary tools. Whether or not it has been made with LLM bot assistance, we think this is an impressive step forwards. AROS has been able to run on Arm CPUs for years, but until this, it ran hosted on top of another Arm OS – usually Linux. Now it can boot and run on bare metal. We feel this is a good step for several reasons. Although the native platform for AROS was for many years x86-32, on that platform, AROS is a small fish in a big pond: there's a vast array of off-the-shelf hardware for x86 PCs, and it’s impossible for a tiny experimental OS to support more than a fraction of it. We have tried and failed to get AROS running on bare metal more than once. For many years, the best way to try it was to run it under VMware thanks to a specialized distro called Icaros Desktop. The Raspberry Pi represents a much narrower platform: there are only a handful of models of Pi, and as a result, a very small number of GPUs and network interfaces that AROS needs to support. That makes it much easier to offer complete coverage. The Pi is also a fairly severely constrained platform: except for the most recent - and most expensive - models, most of the older and cheaper Pi kit only has either 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM. That isn’t enough to do full justice to Linux, Windows, or any BSD with a graphical desktop – but it’s plenty for AROS. This initial build boots to the Workbench desktop in about five seconds. And, of course, those lower-end Pis are still cheap, which is always welcome. For now, the Pi version of AROS is a prototype: it’s incomplete, may not be very stable, and lots of things don’t work yet. An important missing part is that it doesn’t have any 680x0 emulation yet, so it can’t run any classic Amiga apps. Even so, we suspect that quite a few old Amiga fans might enjoy playing with a brand-new £30 ($40) Amiga. If you just want to play your old games, there are much easier ways to do that on a PC. Last year, we also looked at Commodore OS 3 – and in there, we gave PiMiga a mention as well. Both products are free Linux distros bundled with emulators and tons of Amiga apps, games, and demos. Easier still, if you’re a Windows user, just buy a copy of Amiga Forever. Either way, knock yourself out. AROS is re-invigorating other bits of the Amiga world, as well. Later in 2025, we also reported on a new Amiga web browser, which runs on the A600 GS and A1200 NG computers. These are Arm-based machines which run Amiga software via emulation on an OS called AmiBench – which uses parts of AROS. TheA1200 is now officially an Amiga Alongside the A600 GS and A1200 NG Arm-based machines, last year we also mentioned THEA1200 from Retro Games Ltd. This is another Arm-based machine, based around a tweaked emulator, like RGL’s existing Sinclair reproduction The Spectrum. However, THEA1200 just recently moved one step closer to Amiga legitimacy. On its Facebook page, RGL announced that THEA1200 is officially an Amiga product: “The Amiga name has a new chapter. With the recent announcement from Mike Battilana and the Amiga Corporate [sic], we’re delighted to see the Amiga brand move forward with a clear and unified future. We’re proud to be part of that future with THEA1200, bringing the Amiga experience to a new generation while celebrating everything that made the original so special.” As we said last year, THEA1200 is an Arm computer running Linux, which runs a bundled emulator derived from Amiberry. The same is true of the AmigaKit machines we mentioned earlier, the A600 GS and A1200 NG: they too run an emulator based on Amiberry on top of Linux, and inside that, they run AmigaKit’s AmiBench OS. When RGL says it has come to an agreement with Mike Battilana and Amiga Corp, that means Cloanto. Cloanto is the company that sells AmigaForever, and it owns the Amiga trademarks, the Kickstart ROM, and the rights to the original 680x0 AmigaOS. Inside AmigaForever, along with various retro models for games compatibility, there's even a higher-spec VM running Cloanto’s updated version of classic AmigaOS, which it calls 3.X – it also has a page about the improvements 3.X contains. A deal with Cloanto means RGL can bundle the genuine original AmigaOS with TheA1200. This could give TheA1200 an edge over the AmigaKit models in terms of its compatibility with older games and original Amiga apps. (As one sign of the complexity of Amiga ownership, German developer Hyperion also has an AmigaOS license, for the purposes of developing a PowerPC version. The Register covered this back in 2004, and Hyperion used it to develop AmigaOS 4 – used in, among other things, the Amiga X1000 which The Reg covered in 2010. Controversially, Hyperion is using this license to flog updates to classic AmigaOS: in 2022, we reported on AmigaOS 3.2.2 and in 2025 on AmigaOS 3.2.3.) Christian Simpson – known on YouTube as Peri Fractic – recently revived Commodore International, and following its FPGA-powered Commodore 64 Ultimate computer, the company also launched a Sailfish-powered smart flip-phone, as The Register covered back in June. The Commodore brand is back, and it's in the news. However, the revived Commodore doesn't own the Amiga name, or IP, or code. Feel free to call us excessively cynical, but we suspect that this could be a motivation behind licensing some Amiga rights to another vendor in 2026. This exposure will increase the value of Cloanto's IP. Hypothetically, if Cloanto were to sell its rights to the revived Commodore, that could mean it could ask for more money. ®
