I feel like I remember seeing something like this get posted and celebrated in this or some other techie community, and I’m interested in screwing around with other OSes but I can’t remember which one it might be. What’s your favorite 90s-flavored Linux desktop environment / distribution?

    There’s ReactOS, which is not Linux either and targets the early 2000s Windows versions. Though it doesn’t just look like Windows, it’s made to be compatible and capable of running those old Windows apps

    There’s also Haiku which has the old Windows look, but prettier imo. It’s not Linux, it’s based on BeOS, and it’s still in beta so not fully usable yet, but it’s a pretty cool project

    Edit: okay none of those are actually Linux distros so it doesn’t really answers the op 😅
