The biggest issue with Linux is the culture. I get that longtime users get and understand how to use it. They understand the commands. They know what -r and -n do.

I still look at my microwave daily to remember what the buttons do. There's only 6 buttons and a dial. Although, 7 buttons. I just remembered the dial is also a button. It's the start button.

Point is, I'm not going to learn terminal. I'm going to point the thing. Then I'm going to drag the thing. And I'm going to double click the thing.

I've attempted to learn terminal since 2014. I have a 0% success rate doing anything. Even copy/pasting other peoples commands. I always get an error, and I don't understand the error. So I google the error, and then I don't understand the explaination.

The way I have always explained it is, the OS is like a car. And terminal is how mechanics diagnose and fix the car. I tried changing my oil once, and blew up the car.

Just put Linux mint cinnamon on my laptop a few days ago. It was stupid easy and now my laptop is running fantastic.

Windows 13: The "window" is back in but actually it's just a 1 way mirror so they can look in but you can't look out

Windows 95: Identical to Windows 98.

No because it worked most of the time

Vista was excellent if you had a decent machine. It didn’t run on the ancient machine my parents had, but it ran quite fast on the laptop I had. Never experienced a single crash besides the one when it slipped out of my hand.

Vista will always have a special place in my heart. I learned so much from Vista, like 'Oh, wdym I can't go back to XP?" "This is a torrent, and this is an ISO." "This is how you install an OS." "Wdym they're stopping support for XP?" and "This is what Ubuntu is."

Vista was horrible. 8 was actually not that bad I barely remember 7 existing

But XP and 98 were the best ones

Seriously, 98 was just the third addition of 95, it wasn't really some big thing of its own.

Nor Millennium Edition or Windows 2000

Millennium Edition was so bad, it had all the blue screens of their predecessor and successor combined.

Ipchains: What the fuck did i do?

Linux would be more like a random assortment of planks, slabs of glass, paint cans, and a handwritten set of assembly tips and tricks.

Windows ME had the same fixed 64KB user resources and 64KB GDI resources memory limits as Windows 95 and Windows 98 for system resource allocation regardless of how much actual RAM you had. Since ME was more resource-intensive than the previous versions, you could run out of these resource allocations while still having very much free RAM much faster.

The end-result was the computer becoming unusable even though you had resources available that the OS could have otherwise used. Certain inefficient applications like I believe Quicken could snarf up all of the system resources so you had to restart with everything you could disabled to run that one application. Same computer on Win2K would run circles around WinME.

They broke stuff frequently and implemented half baked ideas that didn’t really go anywhere.

ME had the same problems as Vista and 8

By their end of life the next product was a good one because of the problems we went through with the half baked one.

ME brought us XP

Vista brought us 7

8 brought us 8.1

They forgot 95 and ME as well.
