What is this windows 95?

I was spinning up Chrome while trying to move around a Firefox window to my other monitor. Crazy though I haven't seen issues like this on any OS in at least a decade

Its the classic experience
@tdawg Nvidia?
- Yup yup. I dread every driver update like my job depends on it (because it does)
  
  Which card?
  
  What theme is that?
I’m really concerned about all those dead pixels.

Ha. Ha.
- That is a redaction for privacy :)
  
  dude broke his monitor just for one photo
Is that GNOME?
Close, it's X11/Xorg
This happens on windows 10 still.
- I've had it happen on Windows 11 so its not gone there
This happens to me sometimes, I am running pop_os. It hasn't been a particular window / program that does it, just seem to happen when something is thinking harder than usual. Then it goes away, I ynno, I'm not a screen scientist.
I never see this kind of stuff with XFCE. I run various flavors of Debian that do not go through Ubuntu.
Does Windows still use GDI? Looks like GDI took a shit.
- I think Windows moved to The Brotherhood of Nod a long time ago
- No idea. I'm not using windows in this screenshot :p
  
  Is that ChromeOS? I don't recognized the windowing system.
- Since Windows 8, no. The last version to support running without DWM.exe was 7. Long live 7 :(
I was spinning up Chrome

There's your problem, shit eats resources like a mofo.

Also stop using Chrome, stop giving it market share, Google is trying to DRM the whole Internet into using Chrome. LibreWolf on desktop, Fennec on mobile, both support all your addons, too!
- Librewolf is a bit extreme, regular firefox will do.
  
  Sure, okay, regular FireFox on both, uBlock Origin is great, too!

GNOME 95 /s
Sir, your monitor is vertical.
- Yorp
Why is the void consuming your monitor?
