Windows 8 might be long buried in the annals of Microsoft history, but a determined enthusiast has somehow brought its distinctive UI back to life—on Linux. You read that right. While most people have moved on to more modern interfaces, this project resurrects Windows 8’s tiled start screen with all its quirks and all, but running smoothly on a Linux desktop.
It’s a strange nod to a design era that divided opinions like few others, mixing nostalgia and a bit of bewilderment. Whether this is a clever exercise in nostalgia or just a way to toy with a different kind of desktop experience, it’s impressive to see such faithful attention to detail and dedication. If you miss the bold blockiness of Windows 8 or just enjoy seeing old ideas given new life, this is one project worth checking out.
