Windows 11 venting
-
Venting on! This is a vent!!! <=== Why does Microsoft make everything so D*** difficult? I don't want to use Windows Hello... Stop prompting me!! Why does the system configuration require editing the registry? Why are they attempting to duplicate the Mac experience? Why does updating a simple action mandate a blessing from the Pope and/or a drunk Newfie? Why are they making the simplest operation a major exercise in futility and frustration??? Why is it that .... H***, I'm could go on for quite awhile but I won't. Suffice to say I am not a fan of Windows 11. Venting Off!! If it wasn't for the fact that I am deeply mired (?) in the Windows environment. I would move to Linux. I might just consider learning how to develop the a KDE type interface for Linux and write one that emulates Windows 7!!

Or you could just go real retro : [GitHub - grassmunk/Chicago95: A rendition of everyone's favorite 1995 Microsoft operating system for Linux.](https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95#:~:text=XFCE / Xubuntu Windows 95 Total Conversion) There's also this : [GitHub - linlinxza/Windows-7-Full-Theme-KDE-Plasma-only-: Here it is. A Full Windows 7 theme!](https://github.com/linlinxza/Windows-7-Full-Theme-KDE-Plasma-only-) But it doesn't seem to have had any updates in the last 4 years, so it may not play nice with current KDE versions.

I feel for you, I am not really doing Windoze software anymore, part of the reason you have described. Windows Peaked with 7, still have it on a couple machines at home. 10 is OK(ish), 11 as you said, I still have a Windows 2000 machine takes an age to start up (only 16 bit!) but you can beat it with a rock it will keep truckin', make a loud noise 11 will fall over (or drain your battery if you are unplugged!)

After my first attempt at installing Win2000 on a blank machine succeeded in a fraction under 11 minutes, I fell in love with that version. Sadly I've had to move on, but still remember it fondly... It did everything you could want it to, never complained, never crashed, and everything was pretty much where you would expect it to be. Downhill all the way since then as far as I'm concerned...

The MOD still (or did use it until recently) use it. It's NT at heart it will work on a stone tablet if it meets the basic boot requirements

Hi, Sadly, I got rid of my last copy of OS/2 version 4 about a year ago. That was a solid system even running on a Pentium box with 480 meg drive. I tried it on an I-5 and it was scary fast and very very stable.

Hi, I traded someone my Windows ME disks (floppy's) for their copy of Windows 2K. I believe I got the better part of that deal. Sadly, that disk is long gone. I do have a CD with key for Windows XP laying around somewhere. And a copy of Redhat 7 hiding somewhere as well.

I still have an ME installer that I never used all legal OEM copy some where.
