Yeah… I care a lot more about socialism than computer operating systems, and I know my leftism alone exhausts people’s patience with me. Otherwise I probably would talk people’s ears off about how there is a solution to their constant Windows frustrations.

Huh. Guess Debian really is the Universal Operating System that’ll run on anything.

If a thing like that existed, I’d use it. Software that has graphical controls but also tells you exactly what it’s doing is my favourite, I’ve seen a small handful of it out there. The terminal is wicked cool, but the documentation and discoverability issue makes it a bit unapproachable.

I’m generally more of a text worker than visual, but good lord I hate CLIs.

I found a Windows XP theme for Cinnamon. Not because I need it to look like Windows, but because nostalgia can be fun and XP was iconic. The bit I really like is the actual Windows XP default system sounds I also got my paws on, though. That was back when software developers cared about good soundscapes!

Though I have to admit, the classic grey boxy look basically every computer GUI had in the 90s is also something I really like. So maybe I’m just way more stuck in the old days of tech than my chronological age might suggest is possible.
