NT 3.5 was the last good version. Fight me.

You’re absolutely right about this. 7 is basically a Vista service pack that got rebranded.

All of the “good stuff” people credit 7 with came in Vista.

8 wasn’t nearly as bad as people think, and there were big improvements to the kernel that make it a definite improvement over 7.

The problem for most people was the Start screen, which if you could get past, left you with what was a really good OS.

Less ads and telemetry than 10, too.

It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.

The only reason I don’t use KDE is because it doesn’t do the super-key expose/dash/overview like Gnome.

If someone could port AUX’s UI, that would be perfect.

And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it’s love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!

macOS seems to handle this pretty well, honestly. About the only issue I have is XQuartz and even it’s pretty good.

What’s the issue you’re seeing?

Heh, DMA. There’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

I’d always heard “Onterrible” for Ontario, and I’ve definitely never heard anyone call it “the Heartland Province”.

one all of the photos are people who wouldn’t wear bikinis

I personally think they should.

• OpenLook
• OpenMotif
• OpenTransport on MacOS
• SCO OpenServer
• HP OpenMail
• HP OpenView

You couldn’t throw a ball without hitting something branded as “Open” in that era.

Stable means different things in different contexts.

Debian being stable is like RHEL being stable. You’re not jury talking about “doesn’t crash”, you’re talking about APIS, behaviours, features and such being assured not to change.

That’s not necessarily a good thing for a general purpose desktop, but for an enterprise workstation or server, yes.

So it’s not so much that Debian would replace Fedora, it’s the Debian would replace RHEL or CentOS. For a Fedora equivalent, there’s Ubuntu and the like.

Debian Stable.

It’s always the answer to "what distro do I want to use when I care about stability and support-ability.

Maybe the sodium and/or nitrate load? It’s not that great for people, either.

I’ve read a variant of this that’s little more interesting, and useful, because it includes the backstory, as well as Canada’s role (which does overlap a lot of the US).

It’s not 100% accurate, largely because of urbanization, but you can see how we got to where we are today.

I mean, you could also have clothing that’s a) not made from plastic and b) lasts longer.

But you know, capitalism.

Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)

When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they’re supposed to do?

HP laptops–at least business-grade ones–are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.

Pirate an old, pre-CC version.

That’s what I do. Admittedly it’s Photoshop 3.0 on a Mac Quadra.
