From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE + AeroThemePlasma
Ah, I never had Windows 7 so perhaps that's why I can bear it! Either way the reason I chose to use it is because I like skeuomorphic themes and all the GTK themes are flat these days, even Elementary
Aero will never die!
Long live Aero
This is amazing. It even has the classic guassian blur.
Do the light ribbons that overlay the blur remain constant like in Win7? Or are they fixed on the window borders?
Yes, they remain constant. The theme author actually created a Plasma extension specifically for this!
That's quite amazing that someone is ab'e to replicate all those aspects of Windows' desktop environment, or whatever it's called
It even has Aero Flip
Now I don't know what that is
oooh wow. Defo looks like something Microsoft would do. I didn't know that existed
Punched right in the feelings
I wanted to install this but apparently it doesn't work with Wayland. A bummer, I love how Aero looks!
Oh, this screenshot is on Wayland! I don't think the author tested it on Wayland but besides a couple of negligible glitches the only thing that's missing is the slight blue tint on the glassy panel.
