A desktop for your childhood home's computer room.
Blue95 is a modern and lightweight desktop experience that is reminiscent of a bygone era of computing. Based on Fedora Atomic Xfce with the Chicago95 theme.
For more screenshots, see screenshots.md.
- Match upstream Fedora Xfce in terms of core system components and update schedule.
- Pull in tweaks from Universal Blue (e.g. codecs, automatic updates, etc) to produce a more usable out-of-the box experience.
- Provide an aesthetic rooted in a bygone era of computing.
Non goals:
- Faithful reproduction of design elements from decades old operating systems. Whenever usability and exact replication are at odds, usability and accessibility will generally be preferred.

If you are currently using an atomic desktop, you can rebase to the latest blue95 image.
- First rebase to the unsigned image, to get the proper signing keys and policies installed:
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ledif/blue95:latest - Reboot and then rebase to the signed image, like so:
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ledif/blue95:latest
It is recommended to create a new user after rebasing.
