I mean if you’re dead set on it you can get a lot of modern things running on windows xp, chromium browsers, dx10/11 games, discord, etc. it’s a nightmare and you’ll have a ton of headaches (especially with the dx10/11 stuff, apparently, I’ve never tried any of this) but it’s possible

There are also hacked/modified XP builds floating around based off the source code leaks that backport some of the modern Windows OS features.

Still not an "easy" experience though.

Anything to avoid using linux, eh?

Feel free to use a 20 year old distro that never updated.

I mean to be clear I don’t do it. The only computer I run xp on is an old tektronik mainframe that only has lan access and needs proprietary software to work that only runs on xp

I don’t really count that though since i literally only use it for the one app that allows the logic analyzer and oscilloscope cards to work
