>user interface cleaner and more usable than literally any modern linux distroGenuinely how is this possible?
>>107816462millions and millions of dollars and half decent leadership
>>107816462Its not exactly fair to single out linux. XP is superior to all modern user interfaces. All modern software is bad, not just linux.
Linux is first and foremost a server OS.The desktop environment its a work of a couple of masochist hobbyist that wants to use it as a desktop experience.Unless someone pours money on the development (like valve with their steam os) it will never be usable
>>107816462uishittery is womanly considerations+even vanilla genome is superior in functionality
They actually care about UX. Linux is still plagued by devs that think Terminal is a suitable way to use a computer for general use
>>107816528it absolutely is thoughmsdos proved it
for me it's how they just stack each new release on top of the old
>>107816462I can fucking stand XPs default view.>No status bar>Abridged address bar>Disgusting title icons>no desktop icons for computer, documents I know you can change this, but 99.99% of normies don't and they all have shortcuts to my computer instead.Filthy
>>107816583Problem, spaz
>>107816583found the amogusXbox One dashboard
>fisher-price toy OSlol, you think that's peak?cute
>>107816528>for general useNo, linux devs program for power users. It's Linux, idiot. Anybody who can't navigate around without a terminal don't belong in the secret club.
XP is literally an NSA honeypotYou can't even watch CP without getting raided
>>107816696i completely approve of this and i hope you get sent to guantanamo
>>107816528Not great.Now you have millions of people ready to try Linux, hoping to jump from Windows. It's not that bad as far as I see, but the "comfort is not necessary" way of thinking is inexplicable.UX makes or breaks an offering.
>>107816583Fuck. It's actually worse than KDE.
>>107816462whatever you say
>>107816462Fisher-Price UI
>>107816462>Publish this folder to the Webwhat does that even do? like it gets uploaded to onedrive and generates a link?
>>107817413It makes you wonder.
>>107816528It is. I can toggle this terminal with super+a and change my volume with the numrow and the arrowkeys, mute/unmute my mic, change output to my monitor. All the same sorts of features that are in the windows mixer, just in a terminal window.
>>107817505>>107816528the mixer
>>107816462thats sovl how its all built on top, stage by stage. Unlike Linux that where a 2026 distro probably doesn't have a shred of code from the pre-pandemic world and software deprecates if not updated at least once every six months
>>107816528*cared. Past tense. We're sad about it being over too bro
>>107816462People were paid to make it happen, why is this so hard to understand?
>>107816462Bloat and die paradigm. They want everything to get progressively worse.
>>107817141I want to jerk you off.
>>107816462It is pretty damn identicle to KDE and Cinnimon.
>>107817533it literally bricks if you don't update it enough, it's garbage made by corporate brainwhashed firsties
>>107817141so are you just gonna post this without saying a single word about that theme?
>>107816462and then you go to use it and realize it was acutely a piece of shit and the thing you are remembering is being younger and happier and less picky about things.
try doing anything more complicated than opening a browser and suddenly youre 20 windows 3.1 menus inside some GUI garbage
>>107816462You can literally re-create the same thing in Trinity
>>107816528>mfw webdevs larp like this then get typosquatting npm viruses
>>107816462This things reminds me of this toy unc
>>107816549>msdos proved itNigger are you serious? The vast majority of people on dos would load up a gui of their choice after boot. We're a hands on species, a gui is intuitive and taps into what we are far better than a terminal can.
>>107816583fuuuuck i hate windows so much.
>>107816462Windows XP was so great and peak.All the menus and buttons had great readability and were instantly understood regardless if someone was computer savvy or not.The whole system was lightweight and lean, stable too.You paired with Winamp and Office 2003, what more could you need from a personal desktop computer?Dare I say it was the perfect operating system and there likely will never be another one like it.
>>107820448>zoomers will never experience the 00sGrim
>>107816693Linux hasn't been a secret club thing since valve and youtubers began developing for and shilling it respectively.
>>107816462Common sense. Back in the day they had to give something good enough back to their customers or risk losing the money. Then along came enshittification, which they milked from Vista onwards just to eventually degenerate into enjeetification, which's the final stage in this long, self-inflicted journey to collapse and exactly what birthed Windows 11. There's no going back, though, the writting is on the wall.
>>107816522>Yeah Valve revolutionised desktop Linux by...uhh....using an existing DE that every distro already has
>>107820448Why? Were you playing with that when your parents used Windows XP or what?
>>107817141How do I get that look?
>>107817013>"comfort is not necessary" way of thinking is inexplicableIt is very easy to understand when you realize that lots of Linux devs aren't making a product for a customer, or even for a user. Free / open source devs are often motivated by reasons such as implementing something they need to use themselves or just working on something because they find it enjoyable. These aren't the same incentives that a company making a product it wants to sell has, the guy making something for himself or doing it for fun doesn't have any customers for his work and doesn't have much of a reason to care about any users who get his work for free. After all, anyone who doesn't like it can contribute improvements and changes too, right?Even the Linux projects that receive some sort of funding don't really make a product to sell in the same way MS used to make Windows.
>>107816462Do you remember boomers ?The one you like to shit on constantly ?Yeah those one, they did this.While modern devs, zoomies and millennials can't code shit.
>>107816462its not just xp, its litterally any gui from the 90s to the 00s. ui got a downgrade to accomodate the masses.
IMO the worst thing is they did 360 and walk away, they dropping flat design trend and come back to mac os X or windows 7 gui design and they do it worse than in 2010
>>107816583Is there anything left from "Metro" on Windows 11?
>>107816462not a single thing of what you wrote is genuine you imbecile. kys.
>>107816583There I fixed windows. You can thank me later
>>107816462>>107816528You aren't owed shit, entitled brats. Linux devs build software for themselves (or the infra corpo who employ them). Not you. You'd never pay for software, so software tailed for your mental handicaps doesn't exist. Learn the terminal or fuck off.
Windows XP is still being used almost 25 years later, and even works on the modern internet thanks to Supermium and Mypal. It's the janny that mops up Microslop.
>>107816462>search sucks>no window tiling whatsoevergive it up grandpa, your 780ti is already on its last legs
>>107816462Lol, you're retardExplorer on your picture basically has ads in it ("Publish this folder" and Microsoft logo which is clickable and opens Microsoft site), there's also add to their printing services if you select text document.Start menu doesn't have proper search for its entries, this shit doesn't have virtual desktops, explorer doesn't have tabs and multipanel view (that's why most power users used Total Commander instead).Not only it's inferior to modern KDE (and in some aspects even to GNOME) but it is also inferior to KDE and GNOME from its time.
>>107823570>Not only it's inferior to modern KDE (and in some aspects even to GNOME) but it is also inferior to KDE and GNOME from its time.Total mental illness. KYS unironically
>>107816462I know no one who actually used that ui. everyone switched to classic
>>107819269>>107821620what you are looking at is the trinity desktop environment, the twin theme is quartz, widget theme is phase, while the icon set is tde classic (which is extended by a friend of mine), the color scheme is taken from 4chan's yotsuba theme.it also took manual panel tweaks to get it right
>>107825326i apologize for the lack of immediate response, i didn't think much of this thread, i do appreciate your interest in my setup though, this was by far my most favorite setup of them all, alongside picrel, made on the same desktop environment
>>107825372but what does fooly cooly mean?
>>107825428cooly that is fooly? a cool fool? i might as well get fooly cooly with haruko if thats what it means
i know for sure that >>107818491 wants to get all fooly cooly with me
>>107821330apparently zoomers consist solely of gen alphas now. why are millennials like this?
>>107822107bottom right of pic
>>107825839Don't you have some flossing to do? Or is that fidget spinner still stuck up your ass?
>>107823386Terry A Davis used Windows 7
>>107816583You know I really hate to try and defend windows, but this photo is pretty outdated.I dont have metro calc or the store installed either
>>107816462When you consider how much of XP's interface was written in HTML and JS, it really is something, isn't it.
>>107816462You need top-down command with some things, and UI design is one of those things, You can't make beauty by committee lest you get bikeshedding of the worst kind.
>>107830296It was the second step into active X interfaces after Windows 98/ME. It's just ActiveX and Silverlight were way, way, way faster and more compact than what Electron has become. Which is something I didn't think I would ever say about either ActiveX or Silverlight.
>>107816693This but unironically
>>107823570trying this "ACTUALLY BOTH SIDES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME" dogshit doesn't work when you're actively forced to use OneDrive now without intensely nasty registry hacks. Shove your fence right up your asshole.
>>107830325He's right that XP is overrated now as a whole. Keep in mind that back then there was no WSL or Powershell. The CMD terminal was ancient and couldn't even copy paste properly. If you wanted a tolerable CLI you had to install cygwin/msys through an awful gui to get a crippled gnu environment, dev tools were fucked and split between vs and msys. As a Windows XP was peak though. The OSes have actually converged into some kind of blur of each other, patching each others weaknesses with Windows taking WSL and Wine actually working now.
>>107821284Skeuomorphism really needs to make a comeback
>>107830296And designed to work with IE6/7 with its buggy mess nonetheless
>>107830680IE6 is not a buggy mess, its an incredibly fast and lean layout engine. It got a bad reputation later in life due to webshitters shitting up the web with retarded bloat.
>>107832349It didn't conform to many of the standards that every other major browser did, so it was annoying to support and some websites just didn't bother
>>107816462Gnome is way cleaner
>>107832400gnome looks like dogshit
>>107832419You look like dogshit.
>>107832372The main thing that IE did not conform to was the box model. In this case IEs box model was correct and the standard was wrong.
>>107821610he said pours money not revolutionized.
>>107816462look at that, everything you ever need is right there and its not messy
>>107816583i actually love this cause you know that the older the menu is the more serious your issue is
>>107832495>settings don’t work?>time for control panel>control panel don’t work?>time for regedit>regedit not enough?>cmd.exedamn dude
>>107816475no amount of dollars would make freetard devs sane
>>107816528This. Microsoft at the time had lots of skilled and smart employees. And they did good work.>>107816583Only low IQ people and women have an issue with that.
>>107833253>cmd.exe opens up>hackerman starts playing>sfc /scannow
I prefer the classic theme more.
>>107816462It's nice, but claiming it's better than anything Linux has to offer is just delusional.
>>107816462>>user interface cleaner and more usable than literally any modern linux distroNeither of these claims are true.
>>107816462>user interface cleaner and more usable than literally any modern linux distroNo it's not you baby duck.
>>107816462Literally why do we need more resources than Windows 2000 or XP to run a modern usable user interface?
>>107816583this is the worst thing ever for OCD people but the only reason they do this is for legacy compatibility reasons
>>107835252been here done that
>>107828779those are trends that died at 2019 at the very latest, also i swear that's a stereotype that has been propagated by fucking reddit
>>107837176I sometimes feel like an OCD fag with how retarded I am about software, but honestly linux fucks my "OCD" much worse than Windows. With windows I know there's pretty much just one way and that's microsoft's way, and no matter how shit it is there's one best stable option and that's IoT Enterprise LTSC. With Linux you always feel like you should hop or change something because possibilities are endless and each next hop comes with extra issues and bugs and no satisfaction.
>>1078164621. paying people to do stuff2. firing people if they don't do stuff3. not hiring trannies, niggers, indians or the irish.
>>107816528what's the use case for not using Terminal as a suitable way to use a computer for general use?
>>107817533what's the usecase for not using the latest software?
>>107821649but anon, don't you understand that it's always better than proprietary software? BECAUSE IT IS OK
>>107825839apparently boomers consist of people older than you now. why are zoomers like this?
>>107830391>He's right that XP is overrated now as a whole>Because it wasn't Linux
