Evgeny Golyshev, maintaining Elixir in Debian/Ubuntu, has released a working prototype of the Win32/Linux system C:\Deb based on Debian 13, offering a Windows-like environment built on Wine and components borrowed from ReactOS, running above the Linux kernel. The system's user environment utilizes Wine Explorer and is styled to resemble Windows 95/98. Two images are available for testing: a raw image for booting in QEMU and a VDI disk for VirtualBox, along with scripts and instructions for building the system independently. The C:\Deb project was inspired by a similar system Loss32, whose release was expected in January this year but has not yet materialized.
