P.S. When Window 3.1 was released, it was installed with 6 floppy disks. Windows 10 is like 25 Gbytes.

When DOS 2.0 was released, it fit on one floppy. And the floppy drive was 500 bucks, that put a debt in my credit card.

Actually, I've used many flavors of unix since I set up a friend's server on the net, remember Mozilla? I finally settled on Ubuntu when it came out and use it to this day, mostly for Kodi. But to the point, all OS's have to be set up for the the individual. Otherwise it's like driving a new car from a dealership, tires not balanced, mirrors not adjusted, seat too far back... You can't drive like that. But most people use their new computer like that and then try to work.
