I never worked with any versions of NT before 4, mainly because I was mainly doing desktop support stuff until I got my MCSE cert. But it did indeed work surprisingly well considering how janky it was.

Win2k was such an improvement it wasn't even funny.

By the way, did you know that the Windows NT Resource Kit shipped with the GNU C compiler?

If I did, I've forgotten it by now. lol

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but NT was usually called NT 4.0 by those of us who worked with it. You're probably better off skipping it anyways, it was terrible for anything other than file server...ing.

Windows was still DOS under the hood for a long time. Win 98 was Win 95. Win 8 was Win 7. This is nothing new for MS.

Windows 98 enters the chat

This is Clippy v2.0 and I'm sure it will be just as helpful.

Thanks, all setup!

Linux noobie here. Any tips on what to search for for instructions on how to do this? Bonus points if it has a GUI and is easy to use.

I'm no expert, but if you're installing both from scratch, my understanding is it's easier to install Windows first.

You might check out the 1More wireless headphones. They're my go-to recommendation for someone who wants something that's not garbage but doesn't want to pay full audiophile prices. I haven't heard this particular headphone from them, but they're known to have good sound quality for the price, generally by sacrificing some build quality. However, this beats out a lot of the comparably priced competition that sacrifices both.

My laptop has BT built in and it works fine with everything I've connected to it so I don't see why any BT headphones wouldn't work. I think you probably just need to get a BT card/dongle for your system and then you can use whatever headphones you want. So the question you probably should be asking is: what BT card/dongle works with my system?

Because of the switch to KDE from Gnome? Or something else I'm missing?

Garuda. I tried it because it's supposed to be "gamer" oriented. I thought it meant it would make it easier/smoother for gaming. What they actually meant was it felt like being locked inside a gaming PC with flashing and spinning RGB lights everywhere. No fucking thanks.
