BeOS itself is the peak of mid 90s design and has a timeless beauty to it that I would love to see on my desktop even today that login screen is a "minimalist" design by somebody who is evidently not a graphic designer

16 gb of ram is barely enough to do anything on the internet these days. you can use 16 gb of ram to make arts or edit posterboard size images but anything with javascript is strictly off limits unless you have 32 gb of ram or greater

Ubuntu completely breaks the printers capplet through a few patches they have. They also use a really old system-config-printer. Sorry about your lovely OS.

I needed to make sure I spent less time on the computer. Lent my windows PC to my brother and kept a c720 running Linux. hardly touched it, so I guess Linux finally found its niche.
