So it's a Linux kernel and TTY prompt with what looks like some kind of X11 skin designed to resemble Windows XP. Does anyone else think that actually sounds kind of awesome? I mean without the crippling censorship and the high likelihood that everything you do is being reported back to the Chinese government, of course. But otherwise, it just seems to go one step beyond MATE/Mint (i.e. a "Windows-like" GUI with a Linux backend) and make what essentially looks like a Windows frontend on top of a Linux backend.

> Does anyone else think that actually sounds kind of awesome? Is it, really? I've seen themes for the gnome desktop that look prettier and closer to Windows than that. So much so, that I've spent a couple of days working alongside my colleagues until one of them noticed that something was off. To me, that looks like an amateurish throwback to the beginning of the century. I was expecting some reporting on how they would have Wine pre-installed and customized so that users could run Windows applications effortlessly or something like that.
