Nothing opens windows like Linox
hey windows aero looked amazing, especially for its time, shame we dont get that option on modern windows but hey at least we’re getting closer to replicating it on linux
That’s the power of Linux, you can make it yours.
Windows 7 and Vista are beautiful. It is very sad that Windows 7 is dying. Hopefully someone can make a good theme that replicates it (I’ve tried some but they are not just right)
especially when it leads to bad decisions 😁
Do you have a source for that wallpaper?
I think it’s one of windows vista’s wallpapers, the setup background I think
Thanks
I personally value my ability to make bad decisions
Is there a theme that imitates Windows 8/8.1 and its metro menu?
If you use Gnome and use the ArcMenu extension, it has a preset to mimic that menu exactly.
@fraenki @rcmaehl If you are a KDE user, these two are likely the closest option available to meet your needs…

I’d be lying if I said it got better over time

This is incredibly cursed, thanks OP
I love that Linux allows us to do this, but why
As a new Linux user at the time. I hated the look of Ubuntu 09.04 - 10.10 compared to Windows, but the netbook couldn’t run Windows for the life of it. I swapped back a more normal desktop around 11.04
It’s a shame this is such an old screenshot. I wanted to ask about specifics!!
b00merang have almost every single mainstream operating system as a downloable GTK/Cinnamon/MATE/Gnome theme.
Ah I see, this is an old screenshot. Understandable have a great day
Favorite video on the design:

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
I fully support this. You do you. It’s your computer; you can do what you want with it. Whether you’re using it for work or play, if it’s the way you like it, then it’s not wrong.
I like the aero aesthetic tbh, especially the vista rendition.
It’s heavy on GPU for sure; but it manages to pull off a relatively consistent look (or at least more consistent than anything that came after)
GPUs nowadays are orders of magnitude better than the ones during the era of Vista.
I see no reason why we can’t have Aero everywhere, even on systems with integrated graphics.
ngl I actually really like that. the start button popping out over the taskbar is a nice touch. what’s the setup?
That’s how windows Vista was.
Oh you’re right, no wonder this looked kinda weird but kinda normal.
I have the theme files SOMEWHERE. It was Ubuntu 10.04 with a lot of Compiz and GNOME 2(?) Tweaks.
I haven’t found a way to replicate that, yet. I’d love a start orb hanging off the taskbar in modern Cinnamon or something, but it doesn’t seem possible.
Oh god no. At least use a windows 98 skin
Chicago95 ftw
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
My friend daily drives Chicago95
😂 fun! I’d add a “Windows 13” logo when the Windows/Start button is pressed.
