to DevrimKanneci 1. This page is in Polish 2. Who would use old version of QuickTime player on windows?

hi, great list! here are some of my suggestions:
- SpaceCadetPinball decomp: https://github.com/k4zmu2a/SpaceCadetPinball
this is a full decompilation of space cadet 3D pinball, it runs on pretty much anything natively, from modern windows to linux to lots of other game consoles and other hardware
this is a custom windows 10 ISO which makes it look nearly identical to windows 2000! there's not really much info about it online (this reddit thread is by the creator) and it's kind of hard to find a download link for it (the google drive link i posted is from a public discord server i'm in, and as far as i know it hasn't been posted anywhere else), i also think the creator's still actively working on it
oh, also, DO NOT use this as your daily driver OS! installing it in a virtual machine is completely fine, but remember that this could have MAJOR security vulnerabilities or malware! as a rule of thumb, NEVER use an unofficial windows ISO as your main OS, always use an ISO made by microsoft!
with that being said, here are some screenshots i took, remember that this is actually windows 10
the coolest part has to be the web browser, it's actually waterfox but it's using a custom theme to make itself look exactly like IE 5, which means you can browse the entire modern web on it!
- xfce-winxp-tc: https://github.com/rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc
has tools to recreate the XP look and feel in Xfce (a linux desktop environment)
a windows XP for the linux distro Q4OS which looks really good, especially the classic theme, has ISOs available pre-loaded with the themes
a revival of the old common desktop environment, a desktop environment common on old UNIX systems
if you want to get the full retro UNIX experience, the original CDE was made open source several years ago, and it's been ported to modern linux systems! it's still maintained, but no new features have really been added, so it might be a bit difficult to use for a modern user
CoolRetroTerm: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
a really cool looking retro terminal for if you want to recreate the look of old terminal displays! i believe it's only on linux

added the windows 8 stuff but not the windows 7 beta thing, it's really cool but i dont want to add stuff for windows versions that didnt release, that's why there isnt a longhorn section. thank you for sending!

i don't recommend using pale moon!! it just isn't a good browser and it's not very secure either since it's just a fork of a pretty old version of firefox
Reply by GRIFFEN

added Luna10, thank you for sending! pale moon definitely isnt the best browser but i used it for about a year and i didnt have any security issues, thank you for letting me know about that!

vista r2
(he took it down because currently he wanted to remake it on 21H2 IoT LTSC instead of regular 10 Pro.)
but also on the archive page he said (Vista R2 stopped development February 12, 2024. After this date, no new versions will be made.)

The design before was very nice, I like the windows 95/98 one more than anything, that's why my profile picture, in fact, I realized that my profile picture, the windows 98 folder, is called directory_open_cool-0

NicheCoal25 you need to modify your Firefox layout by right clicking the titlebar and clicking "Customize Toolbar"

The links for Borealis and Aerofox8 are broken, the Vista Extended kernel moved to https://win32subsystem.live/extended-kernel/ and https://bestwindowsthemes.com/ is run by a transphobe, racist and possible doxxer
