LegacyUpdate VS Chicago95

KernelEX it's your friend. And http://legacyupdate.net, but I think for W98SE and up.

Now, useful software for w9x (there's a good chunk of libre software too, as 7Zip and retrozilla + an Ublock Origin plugin for it):

Windows Update (W2K and up): http://legacyupdate.net

Needed for dependencies on some software.

Hexchat will work well against the Bitlbee IRC servers at https://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/servers.html

Here you might set several bridge accounts, including IRC+TLS, Jabber, Discord...

On XP you can use Legacy Update. https://legacyupdate.net/

If you wish to try to update it use legacy update.net

I saw an ATM reboot into XP kiosk mode the other week.

Struck me as a bit unsafe?

BTW this also exists or did exist for "Fix Windows Update on Windows XP, Vista, Server 2008, 2003, and 2000"

Try using Legacy Update and it works for Windows 95 to Windows 8.1. Legacy Update

google a key / use an activator (KMS etc) then : https://legacyupdate.net/

You should run Legacy Update first to get security updates up to 2019, https://legacyupdate.net Hopefully WGA doesn't annoy you

If that's a concern for you, there are themes for GTK3 and GTK4 that replicate classic 3D widgets and remove much of the excess padding in modern apps. https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 (You should install both; Chicago95 is more actively developed, but B00merang gives you a GTK+4 theme that's currently missing from Chicago95.) Works reasonably well as a daily-driver, giving you a similar look to the modern SerenityOS GUI on a standard Linux system. Even the modern GTK+4 "responsive" apps work as designed, with some non-critical graphical quirks.

Chicago was the code name for the development version of the highly anticipated Windows95

Haven’t tried it, but there’s https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

Might be looking for something closer to this: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

I bloody want my Linux and apps on it to look like this or something of this flavour. Most retro themes are poor quality shams (Chicago95[1] is the only good one, yet still not perfect). I feel like I would gladly pay serious money for a really high quality conversion of all the parts, including themes for all widget libraries and no quirks.

Related: you can make Linux look like Windows 95 (98/2000/XP), icons and all: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

It works really well.
