You can run Windows applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud directly on your Linux desktop (KDE, GNOME, or XFCE) as if they were native apps using WinApps. It works by running Windows inside a virtual machine (using Docker, Podman, or libvirt) and then showing Windows apps seamlessly on Linux with FreeRDP. Your Linux home folder is accessible in Windows, and you can right-click files in Linux to open them with Windows apps. This lets you use all Windows programs without leaving Linux, improving productivity and convenience without needing dual boot or separate hardware.

January 6 is Epiphany or Theophany. Wise Men, or magi, visited baby Jesus with gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The Bible doesn’t say how many magi came or their names; tradition says three: Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar. Some churches also celebrate Jesus’ baptism this day. Before December 25 was Christmas, January 6 was the main day to celebrate Jesus’ birth. It ends the 12 days of Christmas with food, parades, and gifts.

We wish you all a happy Epiphany day.

☦️Epiphany and the Cross-Diving Tradition
On the feast of the Epiphany, believers in a number of countries take part in a folk-religious tradition known as cross diving.
🔹 After the blessing of the water, a priest throws a cross into a body of water — a river, lake, or the sea.
🔹 Participants then swim to retrieve the cross from the water.
🔹 It is believed that the person who retrieves the cross first receives a special blessing for the year ahead.
🌍 This tradition is especially common in countries with a warmer climate than Russia, such as Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, as well as in several other countries and regions.
🇷🇺🇿🇦 This tradition is also practiced within the Russian-speaking diaspora in South Africa.
