You all might not believe me but last year I knew someone who ran XP on his daily machine. It obviously didn't work correctly with a bunch of things. I advised him to at least use a light Linux distro to access the internet, he didn't care , and I didn't push the subject anymore.

He was a curious and very nice lad, pretty much "stuck" in the early www days (including his online minset), totally into retro anime but current online security wasn't in his agenda. ๐Ÿ˜–

Nothing against retro OSes, I have a old laptop with XP installed just for legacy stuff, but I don't connect that thing directly to the internet.
