A dream of a Linux distribution where the entire desktop environment is Win32 software running under WINE. A completely free and open-source OS where you can just download .exe files and run them, for the power user who isn't necessarily a Unixhead, or just for someone who thinks this sounds fun.

I like the layout and looks of windows 2000 but I think running actual exe files from the old OS is not viable from security standpoint.

    it does look like reactos windows but better. damn, i wish i had the skills for such a project.

    might be good for the potential switchers who need something very similar to windows, old computers that need to brainlessly run win32 software. deshitified windows for those who need it. normies orphaned by win10 who are not ready to learn linux headfirst for any reason. and all open source so you can actually trust your os.

    this is what foss enables in spite of purists and copyrighters alike. i like it.
