This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I would take Windows 8 over 11.

I had a bad experience with windows10 at the start. It had one process, I recall scvhost.exe or something that would eat tons of ram and cpu for no particular reason. I rolled back to win8.1 cause of that and skipped 10 pretty much entirely.

Not even sure why people claim win10 is much better than win8.1. Start menu was dog shit, yeah. But how often users actually use start menu besides of shutting down PC. All in all, under the hood windows 10 was not so different from win8.

Windows 7 tho. The best OS, literally.

Best Microsoft OS maybe...

I would take XP over milennium.

win8 is actually very good. just need to replace the start menu thing. they optimized the os to run on crappy atom tablets so it's actually faster than 7 on low end machines.

At risk of being a cliche: try Linux. It's really not hard to install.

I have three PCs: Win10, Mint, and Bazzite, and then laptop with Mint.

I miss Win7, regardless.
