It's finally over...

nonsense, I use xubuntu just fine on an N3050 netbook that was $200 when I got it

these days you can get double the performance from an N4000 for the same price

win 2000 > win xp

Reminder the likelihood of op being a freetard shill is extremely high.

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the firewall that was added in SP2. That alone makes XP>2k
How windows (nt) went on for so long without such a critical feature is kinda crazy

I got a laptop from my sis, running Windows 10 (she had upgraded it from 8)
for a year and a half I didn't have much time to muck around with the UEFI issues making getting a linux on it harder, and it being my only computer at college (my main was back home)
Damn thing is slow and cranky, but damn it I could play SupCom on without issue.

Now I'm on Mint and firefox is struggling to work, every time I open a folder it takes ages, and the whole thing hangs every two hours at least from doing whatever.

Mint's had the best GUI so far at least, though still full of bullshit like bars you have to drag around instead of letting you set a precise value, the mess that the main menu is, the inability to place a damn '\n' on the taskbar/panel's clock display and lots kinks and wrinkles like that. Manjaro, XFCE and Lubuntu have so far proven to be varying degrees of worse on GUI and usability.

Worst offender so far is power management though. On windows I could set up the power button to just shut down the screen, I've yet to see that option onthe other distros I tried, and often what they offer doesn't quite match.
Manjaro and Xubuntu fucked me up badly cause randomly, when closing the lid, I'd come back to a locked session, log back in, and have the screen be completely shut off, incapable of turning back on no matter what, forcing me to restart.

But what I miss the most is the way Is how could throttle CPU usage on windows 10 depending on wether I was running on battery. That shit doubled my battery's lifetime. There may be some package or whatever that may offer that, but the selection is so broad, and the info they give you is so scarce, I'd rather not have to be trying every single one just to hunt that down.

And sure, I could use the terminal. I could look for and learn a command I'll use once, forget about for a year or so and have to look up and re-learn again some day, rather than blindly look for a button on an intuitive location.

i miss windows xp, but 7 is almost as good

>and have the screen be completely shut off, incapable of turning back on no matter what, forcing me to restart.
not to make excuses, but you can get around this by switching ttys
ctrl+alt+f1 -> ctrl+alt+f7

use tlp, it also has a gui to configure
