Next month I’ll publish tiny repo contains the dots for linux95
I’ve also write with the help of some clankers windows run dialog on linux that act as launcher
add some themes & keyset for icewm
pixel art wallpaper with chicago city + natural green
also running libreoffice on the generic graphic means no qt or gtk pure X11
I think win95 old looking is cute (✿◠‿◠)
Don’t forget to upload files, if publicly.
Or can even share them in Our Community > Member Downloads and linking to them here.
I wrote notepad in c++/fltk
Out of curiosity, how much performance gain do you get by doing that?

For reference (4GB RAM) about my CPU,
inxi -Cxxx
reports the standard benchmark value as

The repository is ready :
test it on your free time and please report me any errors, thanks,

I absolutely love this look, nostalgic yet practical! I use Chicago95 on the Debian Xfce system that’s hooked up to my TV.

You MUST publish a crisis-trigger warning for any link that brings those up!
Maybe it’s therapeutic seeing such a UI but with a working operating system underlying it!
I left you a star there
