    Okay I have to say it: I’ve never understood the drive to theme your linux DE like fuckin’ Windows. I know there’s nostalgia for the gray 9x window decorations, but the infinite fondness for Luna or Aero baffles me. LARPing as an infinitely shittier OS…

      Absolute Nostalgia Bait. Or maybe it’s a kink thing knowing that you’re safe within the confines of KDE doggirl-smug . It’s Windows’ fault for adopting a new design language every single release to sell people the same computer with more ads.

        This is how I’m gonna see it for the rest of my life catgirl-smug lmao. Also at least you could tell W7 to larp 9x, that was kinda worthwhile…

      Nostalgia is really powerful sometimes. I also don’t get why people go to such lengths to make it look like Windows, at least modern Windows that is, I get the appeal of older Windows to a certain degree. You can do so much in terms of customization on Linux that it feels wrong to want to settle for so little with just copying Windows.

        Ikr, especially because I used to spend to much of my time in Windows trying to customise it to be usable… Default KDE is preferable imo.

      I pulled up screenshots of Tron and pulled the color palettes from that. Why would you want to be windows when you can be cool?
