From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I miss 3.1. the blue background was a specific blue and the gray taskbars were gray. What a wonderful time.
I fully agree. Windows 8 and up are so sadly neutered
In all fairness, nothing beat Windows 8 on tablets. The touch controls were fantastic. Was disappointed when 10 got rid of them.
Oh for tablets it was fantastic. I'm mainly just speaking to the styling. I actually didn't mind windows 8 functionally
I mean, if you want to relive the glory days, here you go.
Reply here with a screenshot or PM me when you're done, please. 😁
Oshit. Now this is a reason to log into my PC.
