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?
20 0 Reply@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/Skins
And I mean any winamp skin. I follow @winampskins for new ideas.

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.
11 0 ReplyMost of the casual people never heard of Linux back then, because it was so fucking niche. Like an abysmal niche, that you could never acknowledge its existence.
Windows xp was good. Still is, if you unplug the Ethernet cable.

I genuinely love it. Would it work with other distros?

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.
