Debian was always like this.

Since at that time these shits weren't really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them. It would have feel... kinda modern? If that makes sense...

I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don't like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.

And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅

Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I'm pretty sure just because it said "Good afternoon" or some shit when you launched it.

my memories are kinda foggy, but using Plus! in 98, some themes (like the space one) did change the dialog images, too, didn't they? (so the info bubble, red circle X, yellow triangle exclamation mark etc)

I haven't considered Microsoft Plus! as a separate software for some reason, but fair point.

I mean, fucking with the registry was always a thing in windows

I do the same on Android

Struggling with INI and SYS files are also kinda the same, but you are right, it was a far stretch

don't get me wrong, by no means this isn't shitty, it is.

I'm just saying Windows too always had its tinkering with the registry or in text files, you just normally did that on the GUI or used EDIT.

welp, I still need to add myself to the sudo group and sudoers file, and that's something I need a root shell for. (unless I always miss some options during setup to make my user automatically a sudoer)

I mean it's Debian, it's stable, it should work without ever updating your system :P

(though one could always log in as root in a separate session, too...)

editing files in a root desktop session with a GUI editor does count as cheating in this case?

oh wow, I did not know this

but that’s a pretty unusual setup

Nor this, but you are right if I think about it.

I used mostly Windows systems primarily and I guess I just adapted that habit of having an Administrator account for when shit goes down, and my own user account that has admin rights.

It's just convenient. I liked my Administrator account as clean as possible, and I do the same in Linux with root. There is its time and place where I need root.

But you are right, I should change my habits. I'm not even sure how sudo and rights and environments and sessions and god knows what works exactly behind the scenes, so probably, maybe, there are technical differences too in the way I use these and the way how I should... I don't know.

Anyway, thanks for the info.

I recently discovered Resource Monitor (resmon) can do that, too!

I was using Unlocker waaaay back, I loved it. Since then I wasn't looking for alternatives, but since resmon also can do that, it's more than enough.
