This is absolutely 100% real. I am ashamed at my actions.

bbLean is cool though.

Go ahead, sharpen your pitchforks. I've been learning windows, there's no pain worse than that.

    I will be going further.

    I'm getting a pentium 4-HT and a BIG ram upgrade for the machine soon. I'm gonna rip this Windows install apart and put it back together with bits I actually like. I wanna see how far it can go.

    Also thank y'all for letting me shitpost a bit. I know it's not *nix but it WAS done in the spirit on unixporn.

    Man I've not seen the black box de in years, thanks for a bit of nostalgia for when I was customisation mad. I'm surprised you didn't have a rolled up window in the just to show off.

    Did you at least enable the Unix subsystem?

    This CPU is incapable of virtualization, no hypervisor means no WSL/WS...U?

    Looks like I'm gonna need to burn a windows 7 iso to grab the feature, it's not on 8+ according to the linked doc. I'll try to manually install it when I get my HT cpu installed in a few weeks. I do unfortunately need windows 10 on this device if it's gonna run windows at all, its at the literal furthest point from my router in my home that it can be so it needs wifi, and the only wifi card I have is an AX200 which only supports win10/11 and *nix..... I wonder if I could install the driver with Subsystem for Unix...

    I know this is technically off topic because it's windows, but like, it was done in the spirit of unixporn.

    Hope my shitpost is ok, love y'all.

    I didn’t know alternate Windows shells where still a thing. I remember Litestep was another back in the day.

    Hey, this is how I started my F(L)OSS journey: with Blackbox for Windows back in 2012 or so*! Didn't take me long to switch to Fluxbuntu though. And Linux Mint Fluxbox edition.

    * xoblite still seems to be maintained

    You can see it in their faces. They know it too.
