Wow! This looks like XP/Win2k. Gotta put this on the parents computer, they'll be happy they got their old Windows back. (They don't really like Xfce)

  Maybe they like LXQt more. XFCE can be themed to be almost identical to XP.

    theres a windows 9x total conversion out there iirc

      I don't think it's complete but I have that mostly set up with LXQT on NixOS on my Framework desktop. I love it

      Chicago95 theme for XFCE is great

        Looks more legit than Redmond97. If we go retro then I would go for a MacOS 9 look. Like what this user achieved: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/tsric2/xfce_colors_os9_system_9_platinum_theme/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/tsric2/xfce_color...

          Beautiful results there!

        Takes some tuning but Chicago95 can become a very convincing clone of early Windows GUI. Back when they did user research and every element had methology and reason behind it.

  The Q4OS distro has an addon called XPQ4 which has some old Windows themes https://xpq4.sourceforge.io/ https://xpq4.sourceforge.io/

    I like these kind of themes in theory, but they're always a bit janky. Not that they have to be pixel perfect, but they're always broken enough that they're not a pleasure to use.
