From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wow, the level of detail on this theme is really impressive!

As as aside, I didn't realize that GTK had officially banned theming. That seems...dumb.

Holy crap, this is amazing! I mean, I kinda hate the XP UI (and the UE was worse lol), but if you loved it, good on you! This is fantastically close. Like, it's uncanny.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Fuck...

If I weren't told this was just a theme, I'd have confused it for the real deal. It's absolutely fantastic! Tremendous job!

I love the level of precision and dedication. I was just working on making XFCE look like Gnome but don't have anything uploaded.
