Early on I went from mandrake to gentoo, been on gentoo forever but decided as I was building my docker swarm that I wanted to go easy so I went with Ubuntu server on my 2 additional nodes, and then for my wife’s machine I went Linux mint. When windows is no longer needed for anything I think I will probably do gentoo on my primary machine. The programmer in me likes seeing compiles

Similarly ksh

Yeah that was definitely one of the things I saw when I was a tech support agent for a PC manufacturer, Vista was very ram hungry and the machines that could be labeled “Vista ready” definitely were not ready for the hunger

One of the problems with Vista was the push for vendors to mark their machines as Vista ready at all costs, where the minimum requirements were way too low, so a lot of people ended up with their first Vista experience being an anemic one, as opposed to one with the right amount of system power.

Vista was also the first time we saw the UAC elevated privilege pop up which seemed to pop for just the simplest of reasons. Mostly because devs were putting too much of user config in the program files directory, or in the windows system directory. This made it so anytime you changed a user preference the UAC would come and ruin your day. Now we just have the devs shoving everything and anything into %AppData% instead.

I feel that, but also my entire rest of my family are migraine sufferers and 2/3 of our dogs go scared and crazy when they go off, July is one of the worst times in our family. I wish people could constrain it to just the 4th instead of like June 30-july 14th
