[Cinnamon] "Retro Heresy: Service Pack 1"
After my last post, I got some suggestions. AND I LOVED 'EM!
Now with audio! https://bolha.tube/w/wNV9TTvPYPVNHoPPtTu54g
Keep in mind this is STILL my work computer. I've installed Tibia and Quake just for the LOLZ. Had mixed reactions from my colleagues. So... mission accomplished? :P

You can go ahead and sign me the fuck up for whatever that is that's skinned like Winamp. That is functional, right? Not just part of the desktop image?

@dual_sport_dork it's a player called Audacious. It is fully functional. It is available in every distro I know.
To style it like this, download any winamp skin (*.wsz) and put it on
\~/.local/share/audacious/SkinsAnd I mean any winamp skin. I follow @winampskins for new ideas.

Here, OP. More winamp skins than you could ever want.
That website lets you try the skins before you download them too.

Windows XP was a good, solid OS. Not FOSS, obviously, but I imagine most people would remember it fondly. Not heresy, maybe just some mild blasphemy.

I remember hating and resisting the upgrade from Windows 98 SE. It took a while for me to realize that our budget PC was the bottleneck…

@vsh it should. And with Gnome and Xfce too. I found Cinnamon to be the best for this as it has already pretty close defaults to use as a base.
The b00merang project is a little stale right now, but I never had problems with their skins.

You need to skin the login manager as well! It's the only thing missing now!

Gah looking at the screenshots I had memories of the way it would gradually fade to gray-scale when the log out/shutdown menu showed

By the way... Thank you @unixporn community for the suggestions.
I honestly thought I would receive some hate for "transform linux in windows", but instead you were so helpful. You rock!
I love the fediverse.

This is fire.

I shall now go and try to close vim as penance for setting eyes on this foul abomination.

The good old days. It brings a lot of memory.
