				Some people just do anything to not become mainstream.
 Microsoft switches to Linux -> you switch to Windows...

				 bahua124725yFirst gen Pentium? Like from 25 years ago? I don't think they put those into laptops. Also, 3GB of memory would have been far, far beyond the reach of any desktop or laptop at the time. bahua124725yFirst gen Pentium? Like from 25 years ago? I don't think they put those into laptops.

				 hjk10155825ySo the first and foremost thing you like about Windows is the Linux subsystem. Why not use native Linux and see the system really fly? hjk10155825ySo the first and foremost thing you like about Windows is the Linux subsystem. Why not use native Linux and see the system really fly?
 This is a genuine question. Why do you need Windows?
 
 Even though WSL2 is a lot better (amongst others because you use better filesystems) you still lose a lot of performance.

 This one did not support any type
 of ram produced in gb. I had one of the 66mhz in a IBM Aptiva








Got my new gear -- HP Omen 15 2020. Switched to windows after 6 years.
And boy, isn't WSL (Win subsystem for Linux) a GREAT thing.
FYI, I was previously using 1st gen Pentium with 3GB of RAM runnig Linux Mint. You can understand how I feel. 😀😀
