Welcome back, Microsoft Bob!

Fun, makes me think of Bumptop :)

fascinating, I recently was also exploring various skeuomorphic design pattern in Flutter and now this!

memory 4 GB (DEsk itself 200-450 MB)

This makes it interesting. I may try it out. Moksha uses 200 MB to 300 MB of RAM

Love it. Maximize skeuomorphic design.

I am skeptical that a transition from X to Wayland is actually merited.

As for the post / the repo itself, this analysis:

suggests it is LLM-generated. Not sure what to make of it.

Skeuomorphic design was a solution to teaching the customer how to use the digital product, but I wish we have more of its side effects like shadows, icons that pop and other things that are pleasant for the eye and depth.

I don't know if it's just because it was better or am I just tired of the current white (like #FFFFFF white) backgrounds with everything flat and not connected. I would like my browser tabs to be in the shape of a physical tab in notebooks.

Skeuomorphism should make my life easier. But sometimes it goes against that. I want to have a button that prints my document, I don't want to have to operate a virtual letter press. Having a switch to turn something on and off that looks like a switch helps me. A screen door that is the lock activation isn't what I would expect.

BeOS of 2026?

Please tell me it has coffee ring stains and spiral lined notebooks.
