If you’re a fan of Windows 7 I can highly recommend aerothemeplasma for the full experience!
Yep, it’s great if you manage to install it correctly
I am using it and like it even made my own version of the win 7 wallpaper but if you are using arch some effects for some reason don’t compile when using the aur version but the usual method worked.
Still a better release than Linux Vista or Linux 2000 ME
Is there a Linux XP wallpaper?
Here
Make sure to pair it with a KDE XP theme
And you can also add the Activate Linux watermark with this app
May I suggest xfce-winxp-tc
Not wallpaper, but Chicago95 makes me very happy
No, but I did make a “Linux Vista Ultimate” wallpaper a few years ago if your are interested. I just have to find it

Because of the two 7s, right? I saw the thumbnail and thought it was neat, but then looked closer and think the small 7 should go away.
I took inspiration from this, which I believe is how it was in the Windows 7 promotional media
Oh god, that’s worse.
Thanks for the help 🫂
awesome, need to remember this once i update to 7
Anyone know if it’s true that with an older laptop it’s better to wait a few months for bugs to be found before upgrading?
defends on your release ? I use LMDE and its on a Debian Base which uses an older 6.x kernel, so nothing to cutting edge there, which is probably an issue if you are at the bleeding edge of hardware, I am not :)
My point, the “recent” upgrade fixed a couple niggles I had running on an older MS Surface Pro 7+
It’s a mix, and not necessarily limited to older laptops.
You want to stay up to date with security updates as much as possible. Feature updates are not as important, especially if you want the least bugs.
On windows you can defer security and feature updates separately, I typically set 1 week for security and 1 year for feature updates (Assuming they haven’t changed that option again). That’s been enough for me to dodge the data-deleting updates.
For Linux, I don’t think it’s separated as a quick user option so cleanly. You can install the LTS (Long Term Support) version of your distro. The maintainers of that will do security/bug fixes as needed and slowly push feature updates when they are very well tested.
I don’t think so, it usually fixes stuff more than break stuff but I always have 1 kernel back to return to if this one has issues
No. It’s better to update as soon as possible and find those bugs and report them. With older hardware you increase the chances no one else will have your unique hardware to trigger the bug, so it’s better for you to encounter it sooner when it’s fresher in the dev’s mind for a quicker fix.
Are you running a rolling release distro?
I have Nobara on my audio production PC and I typically wait a few days before pulling the trigger on any significant updates. A quick glance at your distro’s discussion boards and a bit of patience is all you need if you’re hoping to avoid issues.
