Debian. Vista. And somewhere around Snow Leopard, though I stopped getting upgrades around that time so fuck you apple.
These are the selections of the peak power user, and they shall not be questioned, as the punishment is using Windows 8 for a month, followed by death, which will be merciful after that month.
I always think that Vista was alright, it just took a bullet for every version of Windows that followed. It introduced overdue changes to many long-standing Windows conventions, changes that still stand now. If Windows 7 had been the next one after XP then everyone would have hated that instead.
But yes, I do agree, 8.1 was great, a lot better than 10. The problem with it was the start menu (easily fixable) and the fact that MS didn’t invest money or time in it after 10 came out, so a lot of bugs went unfixed.
It was way too early. If that happened after 11, very few would mind. But it happened way too early. 7 had the classic 6.x kernel start menu, and 8 suddenly had… no start menu button at all 😬. That was their mistake, way too much change way too early.
i never liked the inconsistent window management though.
On 8, (i dont remember for 8.1) there were some apps and menus that forced “tablet mode” and could only be interacted with in fullscreen. Other applications would open in what looked like tablet mode by default but you could break them out into desktop mode, after which they behaved normally.

What?
Vista was ass until the very end.
Windows 8.1 is the last best windows OS
You’re gonna get downvoted because of 8.1.

I never minded the metro menu tbh.
It’s funny that windows tried to do what is done on Linux (gnome) and Mac and got blasted for it.
I use a full screen style start menu everywhere else.

8.1 fixed 99.9% of all of this, it was actually quite good but suffered by being called 8.1 instead of 9
Exactly like XP, Vista was horrible until a couple of service packs. Then it was better than XP SP2 and release Windows 7.
Idk I liked 7 over vista from the very beginning personally.
