awkduck Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 A more convincing Win95 desktop for Linux. The Github project is here with screenshots here. It is supposed to be more like a total conversion. So the Linux boot graphics, calculator, Browser (Palemoon>Netscape), Email (Netscape again?), MSOffice (Libreoffice), File Browsing, Command prompt, and 95plus. Not for me. But maybe someone here is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wunderbar98 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Thanks for posting this @awkduck. Interesting but not for me either. I will stick to authentic Windows 9x on real hardware and boot GNU/Linux separately. It's obviuos the developer(s) spent a lot of time and energy on the project, looks good.

ZortMcGort11 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Can it run actual Win9x programs? How about DOS programs? If they made a Linux that looked like that, plus ran Win32 software, I'd be all over that. But it's probably just for looks only, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZortMcGort11 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Did a little google search and discovered something called "Wine" that supposedly runs win32 programs on Linux... hmm. What they should do, is somehow bundle Chicaco95 and Wine together, so you never need to do ANYTHING linux related. Just make a ready-to-go Windows 95 clone that runs straight out of the box, with Wine included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
