anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn't just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.

windows xp truly was peak windows.

(everyone should switch to linux, btw)

Yes!

It think it's actually why I'm a Linux user, now.

(I like to claim it's because I'm very good at software and I understand sustainability principles.)

But...also...Windows took away my pretty desktop.

My carefully tuned, color coordinated, work of art, desktop environment just went away during a Windows upgrade.

And my journey to find a better OS began.
