He won't be allowed to perform at Eurovision with the Windows 95 name/trademark/logo, so it would be hilarious if he switches to a name like Linuxman during it.

Someone needs to crash it dressed as 90's Linus
Windows 95 is quite capable of crashing itself.
On the day he won, he was accused for being a right-wing advocate on front page, but for some unknown reason those articles disappeared in just couple of hours.
I know I'm late but do you remember what those accusations were about?
En kyllä todellakaan jaksanu lukea sitä :D menin iltalehden etusivulle ja ensimmäisenä vastassa otsikko jotakuinkin "huomasitko viisufinaalissa? Windows95Man ja äärioikeistolainen symboliikka" Ei sanasta sanaan noin, mutta noita sanoja käyttäen.
Pari tuntia myöhemmim yritin etsiä uutista näyttääkseni sen kaverille mutta ei löytynyt enää mistään.
No höh, ei löytynyt mitään kun etsiskelin. Varmaan mennyt peukkua näyttämään tai jotain yhtä dramaattista ja se sitten ylitulkittu.
Plot Twist: Windows95man is Linus Torvalds. Have you seen him lately? Maybe that's his thing now.
they came in second last year and couldn't handle it so they have to go back being last.
Kärjää was so fun. Far and away the televote favorite, too.

The last spot is reserved for us, Germany.
For a slightly better chance against Linux he should have called himself windows XP man. 95 was shit if I remember correctly.
Linux absolutely had a GUI. It ran X just fine. I know because it was my desktop at the time.
You're forgettin literally all the versions of unix that existed at that time, solaris being prominent, but ibm had their own version, and so did many other companies, all of these ram x11 desktops, win95 was much farther from being the only option than windows 10 was before windows 11
95 was amazeballs for what it did at the time to personal computing.
But there was a reason it got replaced with NT.
I think Windows has been shit since it was an app that sat on top of dos. It's gotten a lot better now in countless ways, but overall, it's gotten worse than better. There was a time where I couldn't/wouldn't consider an alternative as a daily driver from 95 through to the end of 7 support really.
The enshitification of windows got worse with 10 (11 is another order of magnitude) and the oncoming eos, drove me off again about 18 months ago and I've been happier for it.
Every Windows version was shit when it came out, then became good through updates by the time the next version came out.
Except for Windows ME and 8, which were just shit.
That performance was peak Eurovision though! I have never been so entertained by an entry before!
