Trans-scription

Roughly ME era Windows is open to an install wizard labeled “Gender 2.0 - InstallShield Wizard”.

On the right side, the text “Thank you for reinstalling your gender!” appears bolded followed by two options: “Reinstall using default settings (recommended)” and “Custom install (advanced)”. The latter option has the subtext “Choose your gender expression, pronouns, and other features.”

To the left in the wizard is a trans flag.

    closest i can get you is this theme and collection of scripts for the XFCE desktop https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

    ive used it in the past for my own nostalgia purposes and it does re-create the effect pretty damn good, though it does get funny sometimes when you throw in non-GTK apps (or if they have the extra thick title bar, GNOME style, (god i hate GNOME))

    another option in a similar vein is nsCDE https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE which attempts to re-create the CDE desktop look-and-feel from 90s and early 2000s UNIX workstations

    ive used this one too and the paradigm shift in how to use a desktop can definitely be felt if you've only ever used windows-style environments. it takes some getting used to but the aesthetics are very nice

      Chicago95 is actually pretty damn close, time to mess around with it in a VM and maybe I'll throw it on my laptop for giggles and nostalgia. Also haven't seen CDE in a long time, really brought back the Linux for PlayStation 2 memories, lol.
