I had used 95, 98, and 2000 at that point. All of which I mostly enjoyed. Me I used in my grandmothers computer and yeah…it was rubbish.
However I’d say it was less of a “Big leap” and more of a “Quick give us something that’s almost as good as 9x!”

Because Windows XP was a hot pile of garbage.
One day, my network driver broke. None of the discs worked. None of those incoherent “wizards” Windows loves to use worked. Reinstalling Windows broke more things. I couldn’t get online for about 2 months.
One day I was at the bookstore and saw a Fedora Core book with an OS disc. I thought it was cool so I convinced mom to get it. Went home, blundered my way through the install and everything just worked.
I cannot for the life of me understand how XP is routinely loved by everyone. It looked like a muddy fisher-price toybox.


That’s a really dismissive way to say “It’s an OS built to fit a demand that wasn’t being met by the other distros”.


Yes, Qobuz is significantly more mainstream than BandCamp. I don’t know if the catalogue is on par with Spotify or AM or whatever, but most popular music is on it.
Bandcamp is like an indie zine that occasionally ships with a burned CD from a local band that has to live in the same rented house with no A/C and a half empty bottle of makers mark in the fridge.
Qobuz is a record store.
Yeah and It’s used in iOS.
I feel like there’s another issue going on here because I print from my iPhone constantly and never have this issue.
