But people in the 90s were doing their work just fine, with that same UX paradigm. What's the difference now?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that software's UI and UX doesn't need to evolve. But it bothers me that a perfectly usable UI gets criticized only because it's "old" and doesn't look "modern" (tf is a "modern UI", btw?).

the difference is that we want guis to be better than they were. yes you can still use a 90s ui.

im not criticizing it because its "old". i think i gave a pretty good reason in my OP.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
