Something I love about GNU/Linux is that you can easily give it a retro look. This is the XFCE theme I'm using.

Modern ubuntu (and slowly mint, as they abandon what used to make mint great) is no different to modern windows. Note that I was only referring to old windows. Win 8+ hate is a given. The note here is that modern cut down versions of linux are still not as good as old windows.
Windows 7 and less has minimal bloat. The bloat that exists can easily be permanently turned off. The bloat in linux is almost impossible to handle. When I installed sparky min gui, it's memory footprint was almost double that of my cut down xp install. The tools to and knowledge needed to do the same things I did to win xp, to linux, is absolutely disgusting.

are you trying to run a server without knowledge
This sums up the linux community when I point out why linux will never be as good as windows (was).
Modern Ubuntu is for faggots. I've said everything I need to.

XP is using less resources than most of the linux distros I use.
Security is for people who don't know how to use a fire wall.
Why would I buy and use new hardware when I have perfectly good old hardware? Also new hardware is mostly garbage, specially since bios was abandoned.
Sure, I don't know what Im doing. Can't argue knowledge level against someone who thinks modern ubuntu is ok.

Everything that a server needs to do that does not require a modern operating system. In this case, data storage. I can also run a large variety of other non resource intensive services. Modern hardware is rubbish. The software behind it, is rubbish. I get perfect piece of mind and minimal frustration in just setting up and using old tech than new. EUFI marked the end of what was good.

So much more intensive, but has even less functionality than it used to.
