I just overwrote a Windows XP installation with Void Linux last weekend on an old netbook for a family member. But I felt very nostalgic when I booted a real XP system to see what was on it.

    I totally changed my KDE themes to be XP-esque, sound themes and all, just to have the good parts I missed, but keep a usable OS haha.

    M$ has done and continues to do a lot of terribad things, but XP wasn't one of them. Computers felt fun back then.

    ....Minus all the security issues. That's gotten better with time...

    Edit: Oh yeah there's a subreddit of people modernizing XP and making new drivers for it and stuff LOL
