    Why did I forget that there was a Windows 8?

      Because most people were still running Windows 7 at the time – the only reason to get it was on new hardware. And it only lasted for 2.5 years before everyone switched to Windows 10.

      Also, remember Windows 8.1 existed?

        I miss Windows 7. I don’t remember ever operating or working on a Windows 8 machine. Windows 8.1? Same. Maybe some kind of selective memory retention?

      Everyone just used that software that added a start menu and disabled that full-screen stuff. So it kinda just felt like win10.

      Feel myself a weirdo, because of the fact that windows 8 was my favorite windows version, and GNOME 3.38 is still my favorite DE, even though I’m on GNOME 43 right now.
