Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    I would disagree. I feel xp was the last good windows. After that it all went to shit.

    You mean Windows 2000?

    [–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (5 children)

    You mean whatever one you first used and have an unhealthy nostalgia for. I mean Windows 98.

    [–] digger@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Give me Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!

    [–] Blinchik@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    Nah, Windows 3.11 is peak

    You say that until you think back and TCP/IP wasn't a native protocol so you had to use and configure something like Trumpet Winsock for your SLIP or PPP connection. Dark days, man.

    Man Microsoft plus was awesome. I used to stare at the foucault pendulum for hours when I was a kid.

    3.11. So good you had to type WIN to fuck your PC.

    The first version of Windows I used was 2.0. NT was a huge improvement over the DOS based ones, but things started to go downhill with XP.

    [–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 2 points 1 week ago

    This is the right question, it was the last 100% NT kernel before 9x ruined everything.

    Funny you say that. I did tech support when XP first came out, and I quit my job and switched to Linux.

    XP SP2 was actually pretty good though.
