It's really fine if they have no access to internet. They probably have their software that works fine with it, and probably won't work on newer OSes. There is an airport that still uses Win 3.1 on some computers, don't recall the name though.
Funny thing is, XP still appears on Windows market share.
While people don't want to move onto Windows 11, I recently saw a fricking Vista on a local office supply store.
These tips are pretty useful. Thanks!
So, it acts like a hand tool from pdf readers?
I would guess that too but apparently Windows is at ~85%.
systemd always requires root password for poweroff and reboot commands and polkit does that for you normally when using GUI. However that problem occurs when polkit timeout runs out. I don't know the exact mechanism behind it so I cannot tell exactly when it happens. When it doesn't do that, those commands don't run via a GUI. So this is on part systemd and part the distro.

Hehe, it was fun to watch. It baffles me that Ubuntu still has those errors though.
It actually doesn't crash, it just cannot show the requirement of the root password in a dialog. I think this can be fixed via lengthen the timeout of polkit. Though I can understand why most distros don't change the default time because of security reasons. It would be nice if they give an option for it, at least for personal use cases. However, completely removing that timeout would be a security problem, even if the only user is you.
Aww, too bad it's actually fake. It was interesting yet funny. Though me remembering that goes a couple years back. It seems it's been around for some time, probably a meme then.
Thanks for the link by the way. ^^
