What people really want is to not have to change anything - neither about their lives, nor about themselves.
They want to live in a perpetual 2005 where Windows is forever usable and still just an operating system. Where they feel happy and comfortable in their environment and their skills and abilities.
And I get that, because I feel it too.
But sometimes you have to change yourself, in order to change your world.
I mean if you’re dead set on it you can get a lot of modern things running on windows xp, chromium browsers, dx10/11 games, discord, etc. it’s a nightmare and you’ll have a ton of headaches (especially with the dx10/11 stuff, apparently, I’ve never tried any of this) but it’s possible
I mean to be clear I don’t do it. The only computer I run xp on is an old tektronik mainframe that only has lan access and needs proprietary software to work that only runs on xp
I don’t really count that though since i literally only use it for the one app that allows the logic analyzer and oscilloscope cards to work
The way you wrote it, there is no formatting distinction between emphasis (nonbinary) and stage directions (laugh track). I suggest you use something else for one of these, preferably the latter:
u might even say its a nonbinary choice *laugh track*

Yea, not everything is a binary choice.
Have you met end users before?
Too many times.
I wanted to disagree with you. But I also wanted a sandwich.

Anything to avoid using linux, eh?

There are also hacked/modified XP builds floating around based off the source code leaks that backport some of the modern Windows OS features.
Still not an “easy” experience though.
At that point just use Mint. Isn’t it designed to feel like Windows 7?
When it comes to computing, technically everything is a binary choice.
except for encryption

Please use different formatting for emphasis and non-speech. I recommend escaping the asterisks with backslashes for the latter.
whata wrong with asterisks? they made the text italic as i wanted it to be

Except for… context? I’m constantly annoyed by grammar/spelling online and even I say you’re going too far.
