  I nearly installed WinXP on an old piece of shit all-in-one computer (old celeron, 2gb ram, very slow hdd), but the CPU was too new to be supported. Installed Mint instead.

  One day you turned off a Linux Distro for the last time and didn’t even notice

    I don’t ever turn off my Linux machines. They turn off when the power goes out, and that’s about it.

    If you use Arch or Nix, every day is that last day. One day you disembarked the Ship of Theseus for the last time and didn’t even notice.

    Jokes on you, my distro hopping goes full circle every couple of months

  No, it was when I got out my old high school computer to mess around with it and go “oh yeah” for a little bit. That was the last time I shut down Windows XP.

  For my main comp this was actually from Vista RC something - I had enough RAM & it didn’t give me any compatibility issues (like Millennium before XP on my gaming rig, bcs manufacturer sux at drivers).

  I never really liked XP … I know, Im sorry!!
  (Then again Windows classic theme rullz. Tho the og Aero was nice at the time.)

  I just did a win xp build the other day. I had to make a floppy disk for sata drivers because xp hates installing to sata. Fortunately MSI still has the drivers on their website. I’m still looking for a decent and cheap agp GPU to go along with it.

  Has not happened yet. I keep a copy around in a VM for old games.

  reminds of the poor xp vms ;). I still have disk images somewhere I believe.

  (never used xp on a hardware personally though)

  Oh I definitely knew. I swore off that system after I spent hours repairing a rootkit on my families multiple computers only for it to happen again a week later.

  I moved to Unix and only run a bare bones 11 install for games which is almost not even necessary anymore

  It’s probably been a few months for me. If I could remember where I put that laptop.
