But that doesn't mean you can't do it anymore. You'll have to steer away from the mainstream, macOS in particular but Windows too, and even mainstream Linux desktop environments which have sadly decided to copy the corporate bullshit. But it can be done! Pick a smaller BSD, do a weird Gentoo install, deliberately use an older machine, do as many mistakes as needed. Do not feel compelled to go with the mainstream. Have fun and don't let the joy of playing with computers be taken from you. 3/3
