So far, my favorite was XP
@Dagnar Linux Mint is closer to XP than any Microsoft OS since 7
One of these days I suppose I gotta get going on learning Linux. But for me, it's like learning Russian, because I suck at these things.

@Dagnar there's not really that much to learn imo. An HR guy I helped installing kubuntu is doing just fine. He needed more help with the installation than using the actual OS
How about Windows emulators? Most of what I use is Windows only.
@Dagnar an emulator that emulates windows or emulators that emulate something else on windows
@Dagnar if you mean wine (Wine Is Not (an) Emulator), then just give me the software names and I can look up if they work (or have alternatives)
I dunno. What I'm talking about is for example my VPN, or Steam. Most of my games on Steam are Windows only and if I switch to Linux I can no longer play them. Is there a Linux version of Brave? I need to know these things. Also, is there an icon driven shell similar to Windows or am I blasted back to DOS style command prompts?
@Dagnar yes all of these things work on linux. VPNs have linux versions usually and Steam is the reason why most games work on linux now. Enter any game on protondb.com and see for yourself. Brave has a linux version, as does any browser, even Microsoft Edge. Also interfaces vary but you can choose from MacOS-like ones like Gnome to Windows like ones like KDE Plasma (Win 7) or Cinnamon (XP). Nothing you listed is an obstacle. You just need to do a bit of reading or at least watch 1 youtube video on desktop linux to get a better picture.
@Dagnar I can answer any questions you have but I was expecting specialized software for some hardware you bought in 2005... not Brave Browser.
@Dagnar heres a screenshot of my taskbar, and "app installer" to give you an idea.
I can work with that.
@Dagnar I always put the taskbar on top. You obviously can keep it at the bottom (as per standard)
@teto@cawfee.club @Dagnar@nicecrew.digital I prefer maximum control so i have 4 task bars, because more is better
