Bring back windows 2000.. Being forced to upgrade to XP just to get wifi integration was saddening, and the point where I jumped ship.

Microsoft is like a nepobaby that has inherited their status and continues to make bad decisions to piss it all away without any severe consequence.
Back when they pull this shit, my PC bought on 2014/15 can't support win11(using i5 4440), which basically force me to upgrade my PC or risk getting infected, then i swapped to Mint and Mint look at my hardware and goes "ehh 🤷" and let me install anyway. The experience is significantly better, no begging me to activate cloud backup, no begging me to swap to an OS i can't install.
Now i bought a new PC before the price went dogshit and put on cachy + KDE and can't be happier, not much different than using Windows, and that old system would be upgraded to a better cpu before giving it to my nephew.
