#12Any chance of an rPi image?
i imagine it’s trivial to install on raspian?
https://edeproject.org/wiki/binarypackages Don't see anything for ARM, but might be as simple as getting the source package and (de)building debs for it.

#13Wow! This looks like XP/Win2k. Gotta put this on the parents computer, they'll be happy they got their old Windows back. (They don't really like Xfce)
The Q4OS distro has an addon called XPQ4 which has some old Windows themes https://xpq4.sourceforge.io/

#14Have we arrived at where everybody knows what a desktop environment should look like?
I mean, an end to experiments and variants and improvements. We all know how it should be and anything else is wrong.
I would like that.

I like these kind of themes in theory, but they're always a bit janky.
Not that they have to be pixel perfect, but they're always broken enough that they're not a pleasure to use.

Well, FLTK instead of GTK is a big one. Also, EDE more closely mimics the Win98 Explorer rather than GNOME. EDE is also lighter weight.

Different people want different things because they use computers in different ways. That's ok.
I personally am very happy with my sway setup - it works fantastically for me but most people would honestly hate it. That's ifne - I wouldn't force anyone else to use it.
