My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
#1 is by and far the cause I see when people ask me 'why did thing break?!'
There's a lot of 'Well, I edited the registry and then deleted these two files and installed this 3rd party software so that it looks like it did in Windows XP!' floating in my circles, which almost entirely correlates to the people who are mad that their install is, yet again, broken/not working as expected/having weird problems.
Of course, people are doing this because Microsoft can't stop shitting up Windows in a way that annoys people, and thus leading them to do things that maybe aren't the best idea.
So, in summary: it's a land of contrasts, but stop adding bullshit nobody wants Microsoft.
Yet further proof that all anyone really wants is Windows xp with modern support.
Well, people are trying to do just that. Small team and moves slowly, but slow progress is still progress.
Will it run on a Raspberry Pi 4, 4GB?
The year 2000 was peak human technology. It's been downhill in every way since, until generative AI - which is f'in amazing. But let's be real, the future belongs to the bots.
Can confirm. N64 existed before year 2000......but not WWF No Mercy, which came out in 2001. Lets call it 2002 was peak. Pretty sure GTA Vice City was out by then.
Honestly, I'd get on-board with just about anytime 2000 to 2010. The enshittification of the internet and social-media-driven comment culture didn't start in earnest until smart phones took off.
That is what people want out of Windows, it dove off a cliff from there. I'd still be using Linux, but it'd be a harder choice if the alternative was XP instead of Data Harvesting Simulator 11 begging me to subscribe to me own hardware.
