"look, they ported the worst part of Windows' history to Linux"
Regardless of whether or not this was done for fun or due to actually missing Windows 8(as the author does), it's impressive.
I remember reading some time ago that the windows 8 UI lead got fired but I can't find proof of that now. Maybe it was just satire lol
Can't wait for the 'Show HN: MacOS Tahoe Desktop Environment for Linux' post

Thank you! My Firefox started lagging even before I downloaded the distro and wiped my entire disk (it's seemingly a feature!)

Aw, come on.
WinME had the exact same UI as Win2000, and for a lot of us, that was the peak of Windows' design.
Secondly, Win11 is worse than ME in every important way. ME was all right once it got a few fixes, and worked great on very low-end kit that NT wouldn't look at.
