In retro style: the new OS for Raspberry Pi repeats the interface of Windows XP

All Raspberry Pi 4 owners looking to immerse themselves in the Windows XP aesthetic can now make their wish come true with a custom build of Linux dubbed Raspbian XP Professional. The operating system has a design that is very reminiscent of the classic Microsoft OS, including the start menu, icons and many other interface elements.

However, since the operating system is based on Linux, it cannot run applications designed for Windows XP. But the distribution kit includes several emulators designed to solve this problem, including BOX86. In addition, a virtual machine with Windows 98 is integrated into the OS. Do not forget about the possibility of working with applications written specifically for Linux.

For most fans of the classic OS, Raspbian XP will be an excellent choice, because, unlike Windows XP, it has up-to-date software available, which is so lacking in the long-deprecated Microsoft operating system. Build already available to all comers.
