Im glad games work on proton/wine nowadays.

I grew up in the era where my first computers were MSDOS, then over to win 95, then XP. Back then, most of the iterations on Windows were revolutions in what you could do with your machine. But ever since vista....its just been terrible one way or another. I didnt really enjoy Vista, 7, 10, or 11. They all do relatively the same thing. Theres no "killer" app that is exclusive. Even the AI stuff in win 11 is more a hindrance.

Enthusiasts forget, most people don't care about their operating system, they care about running their programs. Before you HAD to use MS products to run your programs. Nowadays, most programs are going cloud/hybrid in some manner.

eh I'd say 7 was peak windows.

7 was the windows where the configuration options started become less pronounced. You had to "know" where to go to change any system configurations. There were also many different ways to do the same operations that XP and some other windows had just one way of doing a thing. I remember something like multiple ways of powering off windows just one example.

Its better than modern day windows in that it had better backwards compatibility layers (in my opinion).

It's true, they suck at everything. Except making lots of money and killing competition. They're pretty good at that.
