      Ever since Windows 10, Microsoft has shown to be a sadist.

          Windows ME wasn’t a sadist. It would have to actually work to get that far. The best thing that happened to a laptop I had which came with ME installed was to put Win98 on it. Ran great after that.

            Windows ME was a bastardization of the NT and DOS environment. I was a Microsoft support analyst at the time. From the insiders perspective, it was the biggest pile of shit

              ME was a freak of software development, not an outright sadistic experience.

          Go on… Pop!_OS? KDE Fedora? And why? I was about to move to Mint Cinnamon 22.2 until you said this, but I’m open to recs.
