Someone said it was a theme. So it's not? How are you getting updates with Windows 7 it's really Windows?
My old Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) box (appears to have) pulled down a security update as recently as three weeks ago - although the update itself appears to be much older than that. I see that the same update is listed as having been installed -and- is still listed as available to download and install, so maybe not. The machine has tightly limited exposure, so it's no biggie.

Edit: Being a huge fan of foxes, the design made me look at Linux (Debian at first, then eventually Ubuntu), back in 2004, the original drawing was on the printable cover for a 'Custom Debian ISO' that I saw!
nonono it-s linux mint
I've given someone a permanent vacation because they've continued to post in languages other than English and they've been told to use English multiple times, from multiple members of staff.
Staff should not have to edit posts to tell them (again) that they need to post only in English.

Beauty, eh?

I still use vista-And 7- ad 8.1 and Xp- and 98(Rarely)- Some of my mint installs have some sort of windows dual-boot with a retro version. Even have 2000RC2 On a VM (NON PIRATED). Found a Install disk on eBay.
I like the windows GUI-Linux customizability- fruit CO's glass. Win7 on up are still quite usable, and if you keep malware bytes up to date- you can keep trucking for a while (but still don't recommend it as holes are not being fixed.). Win vista/XP are still somewhat vaguely usable- hey, even 2000rc2 could connect to some extent. (Frogfind) No more anti-virus, no more on-line. Still, unsupported, but shockingly usable. Also seen on a news article about modding windows, technically you can get new updates going all the way back to vista. Nice DE's too!

Absolutely. I haven't yet seen every lighthouse in Maine. That's sort of on my list of things to do. As of yet, that's my favorite lighthouse. It probably helps that there's a nice small community around it, and that I've had great experiences there.

Haven’t posted here since Jan 5, 2022, when I was using Pop!_OS but I’m back on Linux now, and this time with a real plan to stay.
I'm currently running Ubuntu Server 25.10 with Xfce and X11 manually installed. I built this setup from the ground up: installed only what I need, and compiled a few key tools myself like GOverlay, MangoHud, and others to optimize performance and make it mine. It runs lighter and smoother than most pre-packaged desktop environments, and honestly, it's finally at the point where I don't feel like I'm missing much from Windows.
I’ve got most of the sub-tools and apps in place to fully replace my Windows workflow. A few things are still missing, but I’m very close and for the first time, it really feels sustainable.
Oh, and the wallpaper? That’s a photo I took myself at the Zagreb Zoo. Felt fitting for a system that’s all about observation, control, and freedom.
Here’s how my desktop looks now:

Not quite yet but getting there, going through a 3-Year art course!
