> Click here to download it. [https://gitlab.com/gee.8ruhs/writteninc/-/raw/main/notwin95.gz?ref_type=heads&inline=false] > > * What it is > > A minimal [https://i.imgur.com/b1YfqR9.png], windows 95-esque application launcher… with fancy directory icons over binary name suggestions, mouse support (you can doubleclick a binary name to run it) and a real-time clock on the far right. > > * Why > > Nostalgia… and a (very likely) “futureproof” likeness (If both X11 and wayland gets ditched/replaced for whatever reason… this will still work as intended.). Also, due to how it works on both X11 and wayland regardless of whatever you have installed. Yes, distro hoppers – I heard your plea. :') > > * Dependencies > > Type “sudo apt install build-essential libsdl2-dev” if you are on Debian/ubuntu > > * How to compile > > After downloading and extracting the tarball, > > make -j$(nproc) > > It’ll create a “notwin95” binary. > > Then run it with ./notwin95. > > * How to install > > Type “sudo cp notwin95 /usr/local/bin/.”. > > * Commands > > Arrow keys (up/down/left/right) or mouse left click to navigate between suggestions. Press enter (or mouse double left click) to run a binary. Press ESC to quit. > > * Notes > > I’ve tested this on a orange pi 5 max and the CPU usage was pretty much nil [https://i.imgur.com/b1YfqR9.png]. So I’m sure all of you will have no problems/issues running it. > > * License > > This is under the “DO WHATEVER YOU WANT” license. Should be self-explanatory.
