minus-squareummthatguy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up53·1 year agoWhile I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.
minus-squareickplant@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoSame. I would go insane with a desktop like that.

minus-squareummthatguy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThe lesser of problems, I’d wager. Managed to bypass Vista… and 8. shudders
minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoLol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoFunny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time. Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)
minus-squareSubArcticTundra@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoAgreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast
minus-squaregregorum@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoBeta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol. TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.
minus-squareSubArcticTundra@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoA while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work Here are some mockups
minus-squarepeopleproblems@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoHah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
minus-squareSentient Loom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYeah what is this 2006?
