Got even better with Litestep, remember a pretty custom UI, that really 
just felt exactly how I wanted... using a lightly customized Ubuntu 
Budgie setup currently.  I remember Windows 2000 pretty fondly, didn't 
play games on it... kept a dual boot of win98se for a long while to play 
games (until XP SP3, when I finally jumped to XP)... since then played 
with Linux... Really like WSL2 in Win10+, but with Win11, just irritated 
me a bit too much... Linux does most of what I need now, and I don't 
game too much, so sticking to what works native or via steam is okay 
with me.
