Windows 95 in Electron
Windows 95 in Electron. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows
windows95 in Electron is a quirky, nostalgia-driven project that ports a complete emulation of Microsoft Windows 95 into a desktop application that runs on modern operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. It essentially wraps an emulator — preconfigured to boot Windows 95 — inside a user-friendly app built with web technologies so developers and hobbyists can explore the look and feel of that classic OS without needing legacy hardware or complicated setup. Users can interact with familiar UI elements like the Start menu, File Explorer, and retro applications in a sandboxed environment that evokes early personal computing. Beyond being a playful trip down memory lane, the project demonstrates how emulation can be packaged using modern frameworks & how legacy operating systems can be encapsulated as distributable desktop experiences. It’s become an example of how software preservation and creative programming can intersect, inspiring others to bring historic systems to life. -

LXLE
LXDE eXtra Luxury Edition
Change is good but changing everything isn't always great. Same is true for aging computers and their operating systems. Support is sometimes lost too quickly with a 6 month core release cycle. Graphics & Audio cards and chipsets get dropped along with other miscellaneous functions with programs or drivers that just go missing. We all like having updated software we certainly don't like down time or loss of features and capabilities. I believe most aging hardware just needs the right system on it, and lets face it, it helps keep a couple bucks in your pocket if you can squeeze a few more years out of your current system; without sacrificing, performance, capability, usability and of course aesthetics. http://lxle.net/forums/ -

AnduinOS
AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution
AnduinOS is a personal/experimental operating system–style project and collection of components built to explore how a desktop-like environment and tooling could be organized under one coherent repo. It combines configuration, scripts, and UI elements to form a workstation experience that is more opinionated and automation-friendly than a vanilla setup. The project leans toward developer productivity: quick access to tools, reproducible configuration, and a unified place to evolve the environment. Because it is open source, users can inspect how the author wires services, handles packaging, or defines UI/UX conventions. It’s well suited for people who want to understand how to bootstrap and maintain a bespoke, code-driven desktop environment rather than relying on distro defaults. Over time it can serve as a living example of infrastructure-as-code principles applied to a personal OS setup. -
