Are there any Linux desktops similar to Win3.1? Tried that for the first time today and am pleasantly shocked by how much I like it, would unironically love a desktop that functions similarly.

edit: just to preempt the 'old-timer' comments, I'm not even 25, so get _on_ my lawn šŸ˜‚

Also, to each his own, but man, you couldn't get me to go back to using the Program Manager for anything.

Heck, even the classic Program Menus Ć  la Windows 95 and even Mate are unusable to me.

FWIW, I _am_ also planning on trying Win95 and, well, I've a bit of nostalgia for Win98 that I want to indulge for a bit.

Probably early Apple, and various modern DEs as well.

infinitemac.org/ is your friend. They even have NeXTStep on there as well.

Macintosh 6.0.8 is a personal favorite. 6.0.4 as well, holds significant sentimental value, but there's very little difference between those two versions.

@neauoire Really silly question - the todo aspect of your UXN notepad is a you addition, yeah? Not part of the original mac notepad? šŸ˜…

yeah, that's something new, it's a silly little thing but I like it a lot.

Yeah ngl that's been confusing me this whole time because I kept trying to find the original notepad with the todo lists and going "wait where is it" šŸ˜‚

playing with the older Macs for the first time and I finally figured out I was being silly
