>hundreds of Linux distros
>not a single one comes with a Frutiger Aero interface OOTB
I thought Linux was meant to have variety? Meanwhile on the Windows side of things, you can install Reunion7 and instantly get a modern, secure OS with a beautiful GUI.

Just grabbed a Q4OS ISO with Triniy Desktop and got it looking like Windows 9x in a few minutes. Looks pretty good, though unlike Chicago95, Firefox still isn't using the Windows 9x window decoration. Let's see if we can make this Frutiger Aero!

This again is with themes that come with Q4OS. The clock looks crap but that aside I actually like this a lot.

Did a bit more tweaking. If you want something like Windows 7 Aero Glass out of the box it ain't gonna happen, but TDE does have its own style that's still FA.
>>
>>107100703
so, what do i install to make kde look like that?
>>
>>107100732
a Windows distro? while I agree with you in spirit, is that what we're calling compromised hacked ISOs now? I really can't get myself to trust any Windows ISOs provided by third parties. most of these smell like honeypots from a thousand miles away

edited windows ISOs for gayming and other "performance tweaks" glow in the dark btw

>>107100703
Troonixfags know if one of them made such a distro normies would immediately start adopting it en masse. They're a bunch of contrarian tinkertranny gatekeepers and don't actually want troonix to become popular

What'd you use to do this?

Linux can't even replicate Windows 95's basic UI properly because of dependency hell and conflicting things like SDDDM and LightDM. Linux is like a zoomer, it is a child with aspergers and autism that cannot do anything focused.

linuxfags ricing their de just to make it look like windows 7 is hilarious, just install the real windows 7 more useful and compatible than your toy os

>>107103428
Windows 7 can't run modern apps and is full of security vulnerabilities. Which one is the toy OS, again?

Do it yourself, faggot. That's what open source systems are for, not some shit you buy for consumption at any corner so you can cry about it passively later. Normalfags being introduced to GNU/Linux distros is atrocious, go whine and demand shit to some proprietary companies' contact. These fucktards are hardwired on "I'm a client" mode. Nothing and nobody's obligated to serve you in any form, if you think differently you are fucking helpless cattle.
>>
Zoomers ruined Frutiger Aero by making it synonymous with solarpunk retardation and shit-tier Flash games.
>>
>>107105580
Yeah but what point is being advanced
>>
>>107103535
Linux is also full of security vulnerabilities, the only reason it's not a problem is because hardly anyone uses it, so all the effort goes to exploiting Windows. If the fabled Year of the Linux Desktop ever happened, users would be in for a rude awakening.

TDE is a fork of KDE 3.5 which looked more like Windows XP than 7. KDE 4.x would fit within the "frutiger aero" aesthetic. You can still use the Oxygen theme from KDE 4 on KDE 6.
>>
>>107108965
>hardly anyone uses it
Every server in the world uses Linux; if it were so unsecure then literally everything imaginable would be compromised.
>>
>>107109177
The post was referring to desktops, but Linux servers are in fact targeted successfully by malware all the time. Desktop Linux is relatively secure.

Which use the same operating system as the servers.
>>
>>107109531
they are configured differently, servers for centralised OS for running backend services, desktop local for running frontend services, Linux malware focuses on the former at the moment since there are very few desktop Linux installations compared to Windows

remember unity?

why would I want my desktop to look like shit?
>>
>>107103253
ok, now explain in which situation that matters. Also, Windows 95 cost $200 when it came out.
