What, like it’s hard?
It’s significantly more complicated to use vs. Mac and Windows, absolutely, and if you say anything else, you’re just lying.
Bro emulated Windows XP. That’s cool, anything is possible on Linux
Back when I was in college, I had a bizarre fixation on making my Ubuntu install look as much like Windows XP (and later Vista) as possible. For the Vista attempt, I even went as far as making a custom Compiz reflection image so that I could get the proper Aero shine on my translucent, Gaussian-blurred windows.
I ended up getting close enough that my one friend thought I’d finally gone mad and installed Vista, so I called it a win and moved onto trying to make something more unique…which ended up looking at lot like Windows 8/10 before they were a thing.
