I'm probably one of the last people who use Win 8.1. The only thing I use there is Smart Switch to back up my phone. For everything else, there is Mint. I'll keep up with that setup until my hardware fails.

I have an old pc running windows 10, it would be cool if it stops getting updates. Makes for a nice offline pc to get some old apps and games running in the future.

The year of OpenBSD desktop it is, then!

I'm serious, I'm getting burnout not just from Windows, but even from Linux.

And saying that every GUI is easier to use than every TUI or every config file format is wrong.

GUIs can be hard and easy to use. Config file formats can be hard and easy to use.

The fallacy is that GUIs can theoretically be navigated "intuitively" without looking for documentation for setting up stuff, but in fact I dare you try it.

OpenBSD was the easiest system to maintain on desktop I've had.

Unfortunately, I wanted Wine and gamez.

OK, no rtw88 for OpenBSD, so ... no.
