To be fair 8 / 8.1 were designed for touch screens. I give a little credit to MS trying to go that route even with the windows phones. Everything was terrible but it could have worked

The first PC I ever used had Windows 8.1. I didn't mind the start screen, even though the laptop wasn't designed for it.

EDIT: And I still have it to this day on Windows 11, in case I want to run something that Ubuntu can't spell right.
