windows has sucked ever since 8

Windows 10 was alright if it weren't for the constant almost-forced updates.

I miss Windows 7.

7 still took getting used to for me, I miss XP

[–] xcjs@programming.dev 5 points 9 months ago

I...do not miss XP, but I understand the nostalgia attached to it.

I learned a lot of technical skills on XP, but that's what made me appreciate the architectural decisions behind UNIX-likes all the more.

XP was good too, but the whole swarm of vulnerabilities ruined it for me.

The last version of Windows I liked was 2000

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Same. I held out on it for a really long time, until finally some stupid game pretty much forced me to update.
