This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is not ‘things were better when you were fifteen.’

It absolutely is rose-colored glasses, whether you realize it or not. This entire thread is.

I think people were just relieved to have a viable upgrade path from XP that wasn't Vista.

I would be using Windows 7 right now if internet security wasn't a thing. I only gave it up in late 2020. There's still features in Linux Mint that don't work the way I want, because I want them to work like they do in Windows 7.
