I realize this is impressionistic but for the sake of the conceit:
“Mac” flavored (PopOS, ZorinOS?)
“Windows” flavored (Mint?)
“Linux” flavored (Fedora?)
Edit: was not aware 1) Distro & 2) Desktop Environment are seperate/distinct. Good to learn

I was just having a discussion about theming in a different chat where a friend of mine was reminiscing about the win95/98 look and getting xfce to look like it.
I get it and appreciate the nostalgia, but I’m my opinion, I feel the same way I do about when I lost religion. I do have nostalgia for the period when I was learning computers in the beginning, but I don’t want my current computer to resemble Windows at all, much like I don’t decorate my place with crucifixes or pictures of white Jesus.
My hatred of the “before times” is much stronger than a theme preference, but I treat the two visual preferences similarly.
I hate apple just as much as I hate windows, but I do like having the stoplight colored buttons for close/maximize/minimize. But nothing else is precious OS-flavored.
If you want to have a fun “before times” theme, try something BeOS flavored. Or go really obscure and try to find one that matches the Dano leak.
Dang, that reminds me of some OS I saw back in the 90s, wasn’t Windows or Mac, tho.
It’s right there on the top of my brain…
5ish minutes of searching later…
OS/2. That’s what it was. That’s what BeOS reminds me of after seeing like 4 screenshots and no other context.
I have no idea what this Dano leak is, or what the context even is. Was some kind of software called “Dano” leaked, or is it the leaker’s handle, or what?
