Превратил свой старый ноут, который побывал на нескольких системах (на windows10 (удалил из-за жутких тормозов, хотя наверное это из-за того, что не было должного обслуживания, недавно раскрыли с папой ноут и чуть не обосрались: там пыли больше чем скапливалось на экране моего старого ЭЛТ-телевизора LG 95 года, в итоге прочистили, вчера сменили термопасту, и ноутбук стал ноутбуком, а не пластиковым огрызком, которые еле-еле тянет восьмёрку), на linux mint'е, удалил из-за каких-то шестерёнок на панели задач, которые появились после установки темы Aero (да, на просторах интернета есть и такая тема), в итоге, спустя 8 месяцев мучений, я перешёл на 8.1 из-за дизайна, работала суперски, однако ж он начал вырубаться спустя 10 минут работы, а надо было всего-лишь продуть его и сменить термопасту, вчера вечером накатил ChromeOS Flex, работает нормально, теперь можно держать ноут на коленях.

Windows 8 (2012) shipped with 2 versions of Internet Explorer: the regular "desktop" variant, plus a new, touch-friendly, full screen "Metro" variant. In the latter, most of the window chrome is hidden & must be accessed using touch gestures (e.g. swiping ⬇️ to view/manage tabs). #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81 #InternetExplorer #Metro

Live Tiles, introduced in Windows Phone 7 (2010), are UI elements acting both as app shortcuts & dynamic information feeds. Part of Microsoft’s Metro UI, they were later added to desktop Windows in Windows 8 (2012). Kept in Windows 10, they were deprecated in Windows 11 (2021). #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #WindowsPhone7 #Windows8 #Windows81 #Windows10 #Windows11 #LiveTiles #Metro

The original release of Windows 10 (2015) had a hidden surprise for fans of Windows 8’s (2012) Start screen. With seemingly no-one on the Windows 10 dev team tasked with removing the underlying code, a simple hack allowed it to be reactivated in (almost) all its former glory. 😎 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81 #Windows10

BREAKING: I lasted 5 months without the Start menu in Windows 8. 💪 Thanks, Facebook memories! 🤣 #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81

Windows 8 (2012) introduced accent colours - colour schemes that could be applied to its new, touch-optimised UI, such as the Start screen. Accent colours would return in Windows 10 (2015), where they were applied to the desktop. This remains the case in Windows 11 (2021). 🎨🖌️ #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81 #Windows10 #Windows11

#Windows81 support dies today. Here’s how to secure your PC https://www.pcworld.com/article/1448683/windows-8-1-support-ends-january-10-secure-your-pc.html

Windows 8 (2012) was the 1st version of Windows since Windows NT 3.51 (1995) to not have a Start button. The 1st build in which the Start button is removable is build 7899 from December 2010. Famously, it would be restored in Windows 8.1 (2013) after a backlash from users. 🚫👀 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #WindowsNT351 #Windows81

Windows 8.1 (2013) aimed to improve the Windows 8 (2012) UX, especially for mouse/keyboard users. This famously included the return of the Start button (though not the menu). Microsoft will end support for Windows 8.1 on 10th January 2023. More @ https://youtu.be/YHhssiMo4KE! 🎱🪦👀 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81

10th January 2023 marks the end of support for Windows 8.1 (2013). Developed in response to the criticisms aimed at Windows 8 (2012), it is still favoured by some for its relative privacy & customisability compared to Windows 10 (2015) & 11 (2021). What are your memories of 8.1? #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows8 #Windows81
