  Amazing how much time flies. I think, Win10 isn't THAT old, is it? Then I see it's been out almost 9 years. Running Win10 today is like running Win95 in 2004, 6 years after Win98, 3 years after XP.

    > Running Win10 today is like running Win95 in 2004, 6 years after Win98, 3 years after XP. Maybe I have just gotten old(er) but I remember being excited about Windows XP. I had an Pentium 4 computer with 128 MB of memory and a 40 GB hard disk. I was very excited to put Windows XP on that machine. I got on Windows XP as quickly as I could but I am not so enthusiastic about Windows 11. To compare, the current desktop version of Fedora Linux that came out a few weeks ago runs just fine on an old dell optiplex with i3-2100 processor and 4 GB memory. I have a 1 TB Samsung Evo 860 SSD on it but that's besides the point :) Gnome works just fine with 4 GB memory.

    That was a bit wacky for me to realize too, but on the other hand, windows 10 was marketed as the last windows, the eternal windows, updates forever and no new versions. So I think I had the expectation from the outset that I’d be using it a while.

    Version changes were significant back then and upgrades were very worthwhile. As one would hope, everything is far more stable now.
