Debian on my desktop, Fedora on my laptop.

It was already perfect 25 years ago, guys

“Just”

It has tabs now, but they are painfully slow and janky

You ran Windows 11 on a 286???

That’s an excellent description of Microsoft Office after 2007.

Kind of like an open-source Evercade, then?

Dunno. I feel like if you’ve used an image from a reputable source under the proviso that you’re licensed for it, and it turns out you’re not… you may be able to blame Unsplash etc. and just swap the image out.

Unsplash, Freepik, Pexels, and countless other sites exist where you can get free images with clear licensing.

You can tell it to use the system version of Wine

Even without that, there was still full support for classic 95-style themes, even if they were a bit of a pfaff to put together.

If you have to use Windows and you’re power-userish enough to go setting up static IPs, it might be worth learning a bit of PowerShell. You can do everything with it!

…but still nicer than 11, right?

Use Windows XP to annoy both Linux users and those guys who get a serious bee in their bonnet about EOL software

MS no longer produces an official Teams binary for Linux. (Correct me if they’ve started doing so again)

It does. Last time I did it, though, it required a couple of files to get going. Have a look here for info: http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/

I was 7 when I first properly used Linux. My dad somehow found a prebuilt which came with SuSE - I assume version 7 or thereabouts. It didn’t last long, sadly, before we switched over to Windows XP.

Then at age 14/15, I ran Ubuntu 10 as my daily driver on my netbook. Then #! for a bit.

Used Windows 7 and 10 until… I guess age 26/27 since that’s what we’re doing, when I switched to Debian full-time. (Via MX-Linux, which didn’t quite work out)

Looks a bit like Soundtracker et al.
