Relive the sublime perfection of Windows 95 in your Linux desktop environment

“ineffable beauty of Windows '95”? Oh no, that OS was very effable, very effable indeed. It can go eff itself, in fact.

Finally someone has fixed Linux. Now every year can be the year of Linux on the desktop!

I’d really rather have something which looked like Indigo Magic or NeXTStep instead of Windows 95, buuuuuuut that’s just me.

VMs on Virtualbox are good for that. I have VMs for DOS, Win2000, XP, and Kubuntu or Cinnamon on my Win10 machine. Somewhere around here I had a 98 VM, but I must’ve either archived or deleted it. I think it was just for one old Visual Basic program and/or one old 16-bit program that I haven’t used in awhile.

The only thing I haven’t been able to run in a VM was an old version of Harpoon that did its own memory management via direct hardware access. But they released a recompiled version that works on modern systems, so that doesn’t matter.
