The icons are colorful and have an orange accent on them. The overall theme and icons resemble the Ubuntu and similar Linux distros. This is a beautiful skin for Windows designed by popular skin designer Niivu. So, here I have compiled a list of the 20 best Windows skins that you can download and apply right away without any issue. But since there is no official store or repository, it is quite a hassle to find out the best skins.

There are tons of skins available to download for free on the internet. I can actually go 100% completely Windows free.The restrictions couldn’t refrain the developers from developing beautiful skins for Windows OS.

Unfortunately my GPS needs Windows in order to update its maps, but my youngest son is a Windows technician and he is easily accessible so I can just dump the GPS updates onto him. The only time I boot Windows now is to allow it to do its hour-long update charade every six months.

Even now I am contemplating killing the lot and rescuing a couple of very much unused 250GB Samsung Pro SSDs for other purposes. My collection of Windows software has gone from several hundred GB down to 5GB. Showed an upgrade, so I checked the size using Google - 3GB. Today I was going to update my copy that I rarely refer to. To put it simply, there is only one thing on this planet that I have a deeper, more abiding contempt of.Īnd for me, the gap between Windows and blowflies is very narrow indeed. Included in my reasons are the complete lack of control over the glaringly white, and jarringly stark, sharp-edged UI, MS' half-hearted attempts at providing a dark mode that doesn't affect applications, having to fork out cash just to get a reasonable UI that only comes a fraction of the way to suiting my tastes, not to mention the advertisements, flashing, flipping, rotating icons, social media integration, constant nagging from the system menu and system tray alerts, the telemetry getting sent back to MS servers, the inability to block updates, so on and so forth. I didn't expand on my reasons for disliking Windows but those are among them. Probably won't buy any new hardware unless a Lightning bolt ruins one. I'm down to 3 now, all of them ASUS something or other, 12 years old, 5 years old, and now 2 years old.
I had 5 or 6 older laptops that go back maybe 20 years? Tried different versions of Linux on them and sadly, the hardware was so anemic, I installed something that would find the Internet and gave them away.
This laptop is now 18 months old, it was a treat to myself to get "the latest and greatest" to enjoy in my retirement years. The hardware references are useless, I use Linux because I grew tired of Microsoft deciding what, and when, they will turn my hardware into a Blue Screen that warns me that turning it off prematurely will destroy the OS. I turn 78 in just about 6 hours from now. You know, for the heck of it? For the sheer fun of the adventure in continuing one's learning? Other people might just try Linux on old hardware just for shits and giggles. I choose Linux because I don't like Windows. I am an old man, and I have the money, and I have the best of the top of the line equipment. Good grief, what an enormously sweeping over-generalisation, and absolutely, completely and utterly wrong.
