Lately, I've been playing around in Icaros Desktop, a modern interpretation of AROS Research Operating System which is a nice AmigaOS style operating system that has been going strong for nearly 30 years.

It's pretty useless and while you could use it as a daily driver for basic things with some effort...you wouldn't really want to unless you were autistic about AmigaOS. But nonetheless it's a fun little project to play around in. I really like the old GUI they had for it. Here's some screenshots, it has that classic 1990s non-Apple and non-Microsoft operating system look. Similar, but a bit uncanny and unpolished: https://vmwaros.blogspot.com/p/screenshots.html

What do people use to make their desktop look like those late 90s/early 00s desktop enviroments?
Yes. I am an illiterate in technology. Not sorry.
