I miss WinXP. Simply the best, imo.
It was your computer, and it was friendly.
That's not how you spell "Windows 7".
XP properly started the rubbish which keeps piling up in Windows 11. Remember the online activation, for example?
Still, Windows XP was much more user friendly/user respecting than 11 is.
One of my random Linux boot-up sounds is the WinXP boot theme.
Does anyone has an easy way to put windows 98 sounds on Linux? I would love to have it for one day (and probably revert after, just enough to deal with nostalgia)
