    Elucidate please.

    What is "resemble Win XP"?

    KDE 3 based DEs, like

    https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Trinity_Desktop_Environment

    Not sure about Gnome 2 (Mate).

    BTW, Trinity is available for ALL the main stable Linux
    Distros, and still has "nightly builds". These might have a few bugs.
    It's what Linux users thrive on.

    Sounds like they are just getting their back up over all the
    old stuff out there that folks won't upgrade. The same follows
    XP as well. It is a fine (for Windows) operating system.
    It is just that M$ development tools are now messing so much
    with it that developers are having a hard time continuing
    to maintain it.
