Metal on Vinyl is dedicated to reviewing new and old release heavy metal albums that have been issued on vinyl. I look at each album from a musical perspective, and also review based on sound quality. I’ll also let you know if any extra bonus material such as artwork, posters etc. are included with each release.

As a website that reviews heavy metal on vinyl music, it’s important to know what I use to judge these albums.

To see new source ports popping up for a game that is nearing 30 years old is testament to the impact Quake had and continues to have on the gaming/modding/mapping community.

openSUSE Leap 15.5 is the latest release from a distro that has a long history, dating all the way back to 1994 when then German startup S.u.S.E. began packaging German translations of Slackware.

Have a legacy bit of kit that needs ActiveX controls to run? I'm looking at you Hikvision surveillance system...

So you want to play Quake II, but you don't know where to start in the 21st century. Fear not, as this guide will show you how to obtain and run Quake II on you new Windows 11 machine.

I love Elden Ring. I don't love effects like chromatic aberration and vignettes, artificially limiting the framerate, or sitting through an unnecessary intro every time I launch the game. This is how to fix those things.

If you maintain a fleet of corporate Windows PC's like myself, you may have had to configure the Windows 10 Start menu so it looks the same for everyone by default and has corporate apps pinned as tiles. This consisted of generating an .xml file from the Export-StartLayout PowerShell cmdlet, copying said .xml file across to each machine on the network via Group Policy, and telling Windows to point to that file for it's Start menu configuration (well that's how I did it at least).

Microsoft has decided that is no good for Windows 11. Now if you want to configure the Start menu, you're suggested to use Microsoft's very own Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which of course isn't free. Hmm.
