the best classic windows experience you can get on linux >perfect classic windows font rendering >classic taskbar >classic titlebar >classic start menu >perfect classic buttons and UI elements >xp or win2000 icons >debian9 + kde 3.5 fork >fast and snappy >everything works out of the box on my shitty old laptop from 2009, even wifi and touchpad gestures >latest chrome and ff57
why aren't you using Q4OS with XPQ4 theme? those shitty XFCE themes don't look even remotely close to classic windows design
Thanks! I'll probably give trinnity kicker a try! Looks neat!

what you see in OP pic is a little bit customized from the default in this pic for example the little space between the close and the maximize button in the titlebar. I put a spacer in there in the settings so it looks exactly like win2000 window controls and I changed the taskbar size to minimum size and the tray icons to smaller size so it matches the classic taskbar
Nathaniel Allen
That's amazing. Too bad my Cinnamon setup just werks and I cannot be bothered with ricing, otherwise I'd really like to use that. I might consider if it ever bricks itself for one reason or another though.

>the best windows experience you can get in linux does it include having windows programs work without bugs ?
Wyatt Adams
GNU/Linux*. Linux is just a kernel.
Jason Martinez
well wine is available from the software centre
oh and the best part is that the file choosed dialog has image thumbnails unlike all the other big and modern DEs we know...
Levi Turner
Why doesn't this get DMCA'd? I figured Microsoft would want to hunt them down and murder them. Carbon copy of Windows XP even down the software installation wizards.
Nathaniel Brooks
the same reason ReactOS will not get taken down it's legal
Michael Ortiz
...But they take the icons that Microsoft made, and re-use them for profit.
Ethan Richardson
Their repo won't work with my Unstable/Experimental install... That's unfortunate, it looks like they're on Jessie still. I might try compiling it on my own eventually, deffo a project worth looking into (Especially for a filepicker with thumbnails lol). Pic related is my desktop currently, wouldn't mind that sweet panel.
Easton Torres
no the icons and the taskbar theme come from the XPQ4 theme which is a completely separate download not affilitaed with the OS maintainers xpq4.sourceforge.net/ >Feel free to download XPQ4 installer, choose the FULL, or FREE version with no proprietary icons, according to your preferences.
Jacob Myers
that looks comfy as fuck.

>antialiased non-windows font >spaces between all the window control buttons >purple titlebar >that wonky chinese copy looking taskbar with too big icons >too narrow window list on the taskbar >the tray icons are too far apart and not lowered this is what I meant that that all those shitty XFCE themes don't come close to the actual theme just ditch this shitty GTK DE and embrace the K

you can even use konqueror as web browser for that old internet explorer nostalgia feeling
Bentley Thompson
>old internet explorer nostalgia feeling IE6 look gives me zero nostalgia, if it looked like IE3 or IE4, yes, but IE6 gives me the sick gonna throw up feeling.

Nice OP thanks It doesn't seem to be opensource though Is it just a rebranded Debian? Can we be sure there's no spyware?
Camden Baker
I understand why someone would want the functionality of classic windows. But the look of it I never get, looks like garbage. Did back then does now.
Logan Davis
You're the only person in this board who actually posted something useful to try/use not unlike all those people complaining about phones and gaming shit Thanks OP
Carson Mitchell
why would I want that? classic windows is shit
Lincoln Ortiz
It's a more machine-like, bland and professional look that doesn't try hard to be an obnoxious trendy blob of shit. It's the "ugliness" of it that makes it appealing to begin with.
I'm not really in to nostalgiatardism that tries to revive it in the same form, though. The past should stick to the past, we should focus on building an interface that lives up to today's expectations while carrying over many of the same qualities that made Classic good.
Aaron Anderson
download XPQ4 reduce tray icons size and taskbar size
this is a relatively new distro and is actively developed

Owen Butler
>why aren't you using Q4OS with XPQ4 theme? Because I'm too used to IceWM.
Luis Edwards
not bad but the taskbar still looks a bit wonky icons are too big and the clock is not lowered together with the tray icons
Xavier Butler
Bad news - your sense of anesthetics is fucked up.

Just go back to using windows you morons.
Caleb Price
Why don't they rename it to DadOS? That seems more like a suitable name.
Isaiah Gonzalez
Fallen for another Sup Forums meme. Never again.

nice meme maybe try to install it first instead of running live

Is it for me? thank you. I had a jpopsuki directory from this domen in my browser history. I don't remember noticing that there's actually an imageboard and music streams there.
