Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

Not really, the prospect of getting my own computer at all brought immense excitement and i didn’t know what words like “operating system” and “software” even meant.
I can imagine it though since i got comfortable with using the terminal a gui feels more and more like bloat.

I do, but that’s because windows 95 was a lot less stable than 3.1(1). It deserved the hate it got and wasn’t really ready until Windows 98 came out.
A good chunk of people went from 3.1(1) to 98.

Idk my Win98 crashed almost every day. It only stopped when I switched to WinXP.

The kernel change in WinXP really helped stability. It was certainly easy to have a bad install with any of them though.
Win98 SE was my personal “best experience” with Windows, with WinXP a close second. (Though this likely has to do with the hardware and tasks I was experiencing at the time.)
