Sandboxie
Sandboxie Plus & Classic
Sandboxie (and its enhanced fork Sandboxie Plus) is an open-source sandboxing tool for Windows NT-based systems. It creates isolated virtual environments in which applications can run safely without permanently modifying the system, ideal for testing untrusted software. Sandboxie Classic has the old no longer developed MFC-based UI, hence it lacks native interface support for Plus features. Although some of the missing features can be configured manually in the Sandboxie.ini configuration file or even replaced with custom scripts, the Classic edition is not recommended for users who want to explore the latest security options. A completely different token creation mechanism from Sandboxie's pre-open-source version makes sandboxes more independent in the system. -

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. -

joborun linux
Like Arch built from ground up with runit
Arch as it was meant to be, simple, fast, secure, cutting edge - without the systemd labyrinth to choke it Utilizing runit (default) init and service supervision - alternatives offered Abiding to Arch goals and principles more than Arch-Linux itself Build from source in the complete absence of systemd and libraries using eudev, consolekit2, seatd, libudev-zero and other alternatives. Maintaining as much compatibility to pacman/Arch-Linux based packages as possible, so you have a wide variety of software to choose from (Arch, AUR, Obarun etc.) Graphic environment support for X11 OpenBox and JWM and in wayland labwc the true Openbox equivalent (see screenshot) For veteran sys-admins who appreciate building from source in as lean an environment as possible! Equally friendly to students of the art of building from source, and a great base to move on and contribute to FOSS -

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. -

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/ -
