Don't worry, windows is doing more work towards making Linux the new ubiquitous os than anyone currently
"You'll sudo shoot your eye out, kid."
Ho ho hooooooooo
I'm configuring my new Linux desktop as a Christmas vacation treat for myself :D
Forgot how much fun customising small things like icons and sounds was - takes me back to the old days of theming Windows 98 and XP. My spouse is judging my questionable sound effect choices but IDFC it's fun!
YES!!! I used to take so much pride in theming!
It's actually one of the reasons I really enjoyed Windows ME. Usability was awful, yes, but it came with so many icons and sound packs and wallpapers and screensavers!!
Back in the day I even amassed a bunch of .WAVs cut from movies for computer sounds. It made frustrating fatal errors softer when accompanied by "Bring out yer deaaad!"
Linux really does feel like that again, except it's actually usable.
Also I'm so glad KDE has login sounds now, so I hear the MechWarrior startup sequence whenever I log in. :)
Santa was a microsoft underling all along.
If that happens we would have a new minimum good base line. That means all other OS have to work on be better than Linux. So good competition would happen.
nicely framed style Bill: πͺ
that day came and went when heavily customizable window managers were alive. everything now pales in comparison.
