while #Gnome isn't working on my laptop, I decided to downgrade for now ✨

Want stable systems with stable UIs?
I do. 🤓

Imagine you could (have had) the same UI since 1995?

yet with /all/ the bells and whistles of modern computing #updates.

without the disruptions of constant-changes where undesired?

#Blue95 is a modern and lightweight desktop experience that is reminiscent of a bygone era of computing. Based on #Fedora Atomic Xfce with the #Chicago95 theme.

Just for fun, I decided to finally bite the bullet and resurrect ye olde macbook pro (mid-2010) with an SSD and Linux Mint XFCE. I had already upgraded it to 8Gb RAM ages ago. To complete this sacrilege, I hope to use the Chicago95 theme.

I'm not a fan of planned obsolescence, and I'm definitely missing actual ethernet ports on modern mobile hardware. This should be fun.

Here's what it looks like. Super true to the original, a theme called Chicago95. I followed Michael MJD's video on using Chicagofier (https://github.com/dominichayesferen/Chicagofier), which simplifies setting up Chicago95 on Xubuntu. This little laptop can't really do much and I don't feel comfortable selling it, so it's a fun project laptop now.

Hopefully there will be a place among the #FreeNightSchool facilities where I can leave this computer. One of the main organizers likes the Win95 and other retro designs from that period. So I added #IceWM to the Gnome window manager. The 4th Wed. night of every month will be dedicated to saving old PCs from the trash. It will probably take a while to get rolling, so I'll have time to try getting XFCE set up with #Chicago95. I'd Rather be doing Racket in emacs though. But maybe I can grow peers?

As a staunch anti Microsoft advocate, should I feel guilty for loving this Windows 95 theme on Linux?
