From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The thing I'm more nostalgic for was the time when everything had to be a glistening amorphous translucent blob, a bit like the Cingular Wireless logo or the MusicMatch Jukebox logo. And I'm in that era where you can just play MSN messenger sounds and you'll get an OH MY GOD out of me.
Frutiger Aero, I think.
I miss the Vista tingle and shine, and the sounds it had
It seems Nintendo's consoles (Wii, DS, 3DS) were also more colourful and packed with music and sound then.
The Switch is so quiet. So... Dead?
Sort of. What that page describes is in the same building as what I'm thinking about.
I've had the MSN message sound as my SMS Ringer for years now. The looks I get from people are fantastic.
