    Hmm, openSUSE Tumbleweed has been the best OS I’ve ever used, and it’s still available. Windows 7 was marginally better than Vista because they fixed the broken stuff, but it still had all the problems of a Windows OS.

      Except all problems of a windows system werent on win7. Bloat? Minimal, was mostly the theme that was heavy but could be disabled. Forced updates? Didnt exist yet. Hardware requirements? A running pc. Half assed new ui? Didnt exist yet. Confusing configs that were all over the place? Nope, started in win8 and 10. Software comparability? 90% hell yes.

      Win7 was a polished vista, with loads of bloat removed, performance improvements and 1000% more stable.
      Win8 started screwing with shit and moving stuff partly and it went downhill from there.

      And im also comparing it to os’ of the time. Clearly with todays tech id pick a linux over win7 anyday, but in those days win7 was king
