Klassik brings the KDE 3 desktop to Plasma 6: reimplemented panel applets, the KDE 2/3 application style, ports of the KWin window decorations, and the original color schemes and wallpapers, with Wayland support.

There's also https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ which is a fork of KDE 3.5 still being maintained.

Love me some trinity, but it does feel slow.

FIrst they brought Oxygen back and now this. A very nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Why? Plasma was rough around v4 if I remember correctly but it’s great now.
muusemuuse -5 points 10 days ago
Yes but no. I ask myself on any Linux package “does this solve a problem?”
GunnarGrop 10 points 9 days ago
Sure does, it solves several problems in one go, even.
- My desktop looks to modern.
- My desktop isn't nostalgic enough.
- My Plasma doesn't look exactly like v3.

That’s was weirdly aggressive. I’m trying to understand motive and you respond with dismissal, which means you either considered the inquiry an attack or that this project is actually dumb and that is not a satisfying answer.
Instead of chasing the dismissal and turning this into an internet slap fight among the most limp-wristed on Lemmy, let’s get back to my question: why do this?
Does this solve a UX issue? Is there some incredible performance advantage? Does it solve a problem? Is it an interesting technical challenge where something shouldn’t be possible but a neurodivergent paused his Minecraft videos and said hold my beer unconvincingly? Why was this done? Help me tune into what makes this impressive.

Omarchay disagrees in the weirdest possible way, which is why you got my updoot

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
