There are two wolves inside of you. One wants your OS to have an ultra-slick futuristic aesthetic. The other one wants your OS to look like Windows 95

@paintedsky I’m the third wolf who wants an amber monochrome text mode CRT

@paintedsky Those are the same wolf! How could an OS be more sleek and futuristic than 95??

@paintedsky

The wolf that just wants a vt100 command line is always forgotten.

Rairii

@paintedsky The compromise: your OS uses the Watercolour theme

@paintedsky Sadly am old enough where W95 *was* that ultra-slick futuristic aesthetic. 😢

@paintedsky But what if I want my OS to look like Hotdog Stand?

Recreation of the classic Hotdog Stand colour scheme (bright yellow desktop, bright red window backgrounds, grey buttons) in Windows 11.

It's an eyesore nobody sane would ever use.

@paintedsky But Windows 95 + Internet Explorer 4 was peak Desktop.

@paintedsky *cough* Anything running CDE *cough* 🙃

@paintedsky The built-in 95 theme is of course the main draw of Linux Mint after all IIRC.

@paintedsky I guess the Lisp alien repurposed their biomass, woops.

@paintedsky my 2 wolves are different:

- One wants a NeXT style gui.
- The other wants a terminal with startx available at all times.

@paintedsky theres one wolf in me and it wants my os to look like osx snow leopard

@paintedsky I would settle for a UI that worked as well as MacOS 7. There are features in the original Macintosh OS that are still superior to any OSes on the market, today. Apple spent many millions of dollars on UI research in the early 1980s, only to abandon it with the move to Mac OS X.

@gcvsa Yeah System 7 has a special place in my heart as well, as most of my family's computers were Macs until the late nineties :)

@paintedsky I kinda want a hybrid of the two, the best of both worlds

@paintedsky im a gnome user so i have a third wolf which is leave everything unchanged from the first time you started using it

DDR

@paintedsky Using Windows, both my wolves are equally happy.
