I don’t know why I even bother opening the settings app

    Windows had 3 peaks. 95, xp, and 7.

    Now I just use Linux. I know not everyone can, but for everything I do or need to do it all works just fine there so I couldn’t be happier.

      Everyone can, really. It’s not 2002 anymore. Linux has been ready for prime time for some time now. All it lacks is critical mass.

        I mean people with tight corporate requirements cannot. Certain headaches with security designations, not all software works great in Linux, even though most do.

          My point is there’s no required savvyness like it used to a couple decades ago.

          A corporation is arguably best positioned to make the transition. The one I work at has all their administrative systems as cloud apps. The few production systems that run native can be run in a Citrix or RDP environment. Even now, with user stations running Windows, these systems are accessed through RDP for… reasons anyway.

      Yes, XP was pretty great too! Can’t say much about 95, we switched from DOS directly to 98 back then, which crashed all the time. I heard good things about 98SE though.

        My memory is 98 was more stable than 95 but I was also quite young at the time so I wouldn’t trust my memory that far back
