From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Here's mine. No inspiration at all taken from a certain California based company's OS ;p
I use:
I apologise if I missed anything.
This is my my phone running Debian with XFCE:
KDE + AeroThemePlasma
Ah, I never had Windows 7 so perhaps that's why I can bear it! Either way the reason I chose to use it is because I like skeuomorphic themes and all the GTK themes are flat these days, even Elementary
Aero will never die!
Long live Aero
This is amazing. It even has the classic guassian blur.
Do the light ribbons that overlay the blur remain constant like in Win7? Or are they fixed on the window borders?
Yes, they remain constant. The theme author actually created a Plasma extension specifically for this!
That's quite amazing that someone is ab'e to replicate all those aspects of Windows' desktop environment, or whatever it's called
It even has Aero Flip
Now I don't know what that is
oooh wow. Defo looks like something Microsoft would do. I didn't know that existed
I wanted to install this but apparently it doesn't work with Wayland. A bummer, I love how Aero looks!
Oh, this screenshot is on Wayland! I don't think the author tested it on Wayland but besides a couple of negligible glitches the only thing that's missing is the slight blue tint on the glassy panel.
Punched right in the feelings
That's an odd aspect ratio for a phone. And I can't say I love the look of that DE.
It's a foldable, unfolded. And that's XFCE with a Windows 95 theme - there's plenty of fans of the classic 90's look, in fact, people have made an entire operating system around that aesthetic.
I'd love that theme in my industrial equipment. Such a clear and concise visual language.
Ah, that makes sense with it being a foldable. As for the theme, each to their own, I guess.
What foldable are you using?
And how easy/hard was it to geht Linux running on it?
A Galaxy Fold 4. I used this script which made it pretty easy to install the whole thing, but you can also install it reasonably easily using proot-distro, if you want a choice of distro/more customisation options.
Awesome thanks!
Its not linux running on it. Its Termux! With termux-x11 plugin probably. I have this as well
Yup, that's what they said aswell.
Cool thing!
A modern phone running Linux, riced to look like 90s Windows.
Oh that's CRIMINAL.
Oh I love it.
Jazz jackrabbit and Winamp ❤️❤️
I was born on 96' but I have to say this picture made me happy
This is so cool! I love the theme.
You have good taste in DOS games as well. Is the “CAT” folder the 1984 game “Alley Cat”?
Thanks! And yeah, CAT is indeed the old Alley Cat game.
how do you do that?
XFCE + Chicago95 theme + some theme tweaks here and there
