Icon theme from Platinum9

Funnily enough I was playing with a couple of old PowerMac G4s a couple of weeks ago (actually wiping them for disposal - though I've since decided to keep at least one!)

I realised very quickly that I'd forgotten how good the OS9 interface is, and how well it stands up against today's offerings. Trying out a lookalike them on Linux [1] is definitely on my todo list:

Have a look at this platinum Xubuntu theme--https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9

In lxappearance, I'm trying to change the icons to the ones here https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9

Icons: NineIcons from Platinum9 / Faenza / Icon for appmenu is custom made

You can use Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/

To modify the ISO to turn off hardware check and TPM support for Windows 11 to install it on an unsupported PC.

Besides Linux and BSD Unix there is: https://reactos.org/ https://aros.sourceforge.io/ https://www.haiku-os.org/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/arcaos/

I know some third-world nations still use DOS and the BORLAND DOS compilers because people donate old computers to their nations.

With the right OS, old computers are still usable. Please don't throw them away, e-cycle them so they get used by poor nations that cannot afford new PCs.

If interested, please take a look at its up-to-date evolution

I tested on real hardware too, and it worked well

Have you checked out Haiku? It's so delightfully early 2000s.

Bro you clearly haven't use HaikuOS before.
