Yes! My thoughts exactly. I'm pretty desperate for an OS UI that looks like this. KDE comes close but still too modernized. Would love to try Serenity on a laptop some time. Anyone know how usable this is as a daily driver?

It is usable only in a VM, sadly. If you like to hack around and enjoy playing Diablo 1 on obscure software, Serenity OS is for you :)

  It seems to be at least somewhat capable of booting on metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT-ME3PsKtc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT-ME3PsKtc

    That is really inspiring to see!

      I can't but wonder how nice it would be if ported to ARM devices. If Linux can run on $15 small boards with much fewer resources than big PCs, this much lighter OS could literally fly.

        People are actively working on Arm support! https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/search?q=arm&type= https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/search?q=arm&type=

LXQt with a retro theme may do it. The project reached version 1.0 at the beginning of this month. https://lxqt-project.org/about/ https://lxqt-project.org/about/ https://www.opencode.net/abgr/qtstep https://www.opencode.net/abgr/qtstep

  There's a well-known retro theme for GTK+ too. Works quite well in LXDE and Xfce.
