    DOS and win2000 (debloated) was the only ones i could stand.

    XP debloated was almost tolerable, but 2000 was nicer for reasons that i cant remember.

    I’m not sure about calling windows the OS before me/xp though (whenever they put the NT kernel into consumer) - i think before that it was still effectively just MS-DOS as the operating system. Windows was more like a desktop environment in linux terms.

    For example i think I used the same windows 3.1 or 3.11 across several operating systems, dos 5.0, 6.0, 6.2, 6.22. Windows 3 never really seemed to do any basic OS stuff , like configuring memory or disk drives or setting up IRQs for like soundcards and stuff.

    Win95/98 never actually bothered me; it was easy to opt out of the gui (which i didn’t like at all).
