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.

Yeah like XP was way better than windows now, and 7 was mostly fine in retrospect, but even as a gamer who always used windows, but had experimented with linux, I always knew windows was shit even back in the XP days. I remember doing so much debloating and random troubleshooting.

And most of the troubleshooting was just stuff like "reboot, reinstall, remove and re-add printer,..." which really does nothing to the actual issue and just fights symptoms.
