I think that a Marxist society should allow for 0 proprietary software, and instead support for everything in free and open source decentralized technology.

    Thanks for explaining.

    If you just want an OS to use for things like web browsing, programming or writing documents then any up-to-date Linux distro will be your best bet. They all use the same software, with some minor exceptions. The difference is in the design.

    This is the kind of insider knowledge I was hoping for! Front-end design-wise, I’m probably happy with something that looks like an early OSX or Windows 95. Newer OS’s have become at once very simple and yet so complicated that no files or settings can be found.

      If you’d like to have something that looks identical to a Windows 9x setup, check out Chicago95. It’s a project that aims (and succeeds!) at making the XFCE4 desktop environment look as close to as possible to Win9x! I use it personally because that is my preference, and I have to say it looks amazing! Here’s screenshots!

        Memories! Look at that tiled background and the file manager! Beautiful. If I installed that, I’d be tempted to connect a floppy disc drive, too, for real authenticity.
