This is absolutely 100% real. I am ashamed at my actions.

bbLean is cool though.

Go ahead, sharpen your pitchforks. I've been learning windows, there's no pain worse than that.

Limitation is the mother of creativity

I know this is technically off topic because it's windows, but like, it was done in the spirit of unixporn.

Hope my shitpost is ok, love y'all.

I didn’t know alternate Windows shells where still a thing. I remember Litestep was another back in the day.

They're really not anymore, but bbLean and it's cousins are still floating around and still work, at least on windows 10.

Hey, this is how I started my F(L)OSS journey: with Blackbox for Windows back in 2012 or so*! Didn't take me long to switch to Fluxbuntu though. And Linux Mint Fluxbox edition.

* xoblite still seems to be maintained

You can see it in their faces. They know it too.
