I had a experiences both with a very very old win95 box and an old linux 2.4 kali usb key.
The linux one was strange because my arch/systemd/ssd/i3 setup is lean, you get parallel boot, no heavy DE no bloat.. but everything felt lighter and faster on kali and I had a physical reaction saying "I don't miss anything from my current laptop, that old thing was closer to my needs".
Maybe a part of our brain that doesn't care about typography or visual effects much and prefer good old crude solid lag free tools.
