From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is giving me warm vibes, so I'd love to find a theme that is like this. Does anyone know any? I'm using GNOME, but any DE that can pull this off is fine.

The image shows a theme that mimics the old Windows interface, like Windows 95 or Windows XP, but in a stylized, cartoonish way. Key features: Retro style: Pronounced window borders, simple controls, flat colors. Pastel colors: Muted shades of gray, beige, yellow, and blue predominate. Icons: Simple, cartoonish icons with a retro feel. Borders: Black outlines enclose each interface element. To find a theme that looks the same, I need to know what exactly you want the theme for. This could be: Theme for external systems (Windows, macOS, Linux): There are themes for customizing the look of your OS. Theme for a website/blog: If you want your site to have a retro look. Theme for applications (Discord, Telegram, etc.): Some applications allow you to change the look using themes. Presentation theme (PowerPoint, Google Slides): Create a retro-style presentation. Please specify what you need this theme for, and I can give more specific search suggestions. General search terms: Retro theme, Windows 95 theme, Windows XP theme, Aesthetic theme, Cartoon Windows theme, Pastel retro theme, Where to look for themes: For Windows: DeviantArt, ThemeRaider, Microsoft Store (search for keywords) For macOS: MacThemes, Reddit (r/macThemes) For Linux: GNOME-Look, KDE Store For websites: ThemeForest, TemplateMonster (search for keywords) For apps: Look for themes in most apps or on sites dedicated to the app. In any case, keep in mind that finding an exact restoration of this theme may be difficult. You will likely have to search for something similar and possibly customize it yourself.

This is so obviously ai.

Lmao I can't believe anybody would post that shit and then try to pass it off as human. It's maybe the most worthless slop I've seen in a while.
