I’m a big 2000 fan but yeah xp was mostly just 2000 with a more consumer oriented gui. 7 might actually be better, can’t think of any specific downgrades from 2000 to 7

I would run the lts versions of Ubuntu, 24.04. they are more stable

I meet people for work trying to move here from various European countries… not the ones at war right now. I’m just like not to be rude but why

2012 was when you could still easily upgrade your own ram, drive, fix your screen etc. if needed, modern MacBooks are not made like that. Also a 2012 i7 would not be fast enough for most people’s modern workloads. But like I said, they hardware is good, if it does break though, you are kinda fucked on mac

Mac hardware is great. But they overcharge so much and are so anti right to repair that I could never give them my money

Disneys been shit for well over a decade and I wasn’t going to give them any money anyway
