The range of formats it can play with extensions is so good I still use it, even on Linux. Nothing else can deal with all the old tracker formats.

I recommend XFCE. I used both for years and in my experience it's like KDE but stable.

>The historical implication: because there is a lot of it, I put a lot of thought and effort into writing it

Really? That must be some ancient history, because I've seen rambling walls of text on the internet derided for decades. I always appreciated the Feynmanian respect for economy of time over traditional formats, where if authors said their piece but still had space they'd damn well fill it.

(Of course, slide all the way down that slippery slope and you'll just hit Twitter.)

Can you really take over a project anybody can fork? Freedom is just a name change away.

Yep. Each screen is just a list of prebuilt columns reused over and over. Then they used a form of crude RLE on the lists.

There's other desktop environments. XFCE has worked flawlessly for me for years, though its Wayland support is still experimental.

I had to help someone elderly set up Windows 11 recently and it was monstrous. The error messages were useless and when we finally got it going, the UI was horribly sluggish. There was a time Windows was a solid default choice for the average consumer, but Windows 7 was 15 years ago.
