* YMMY obviously -- it'll be different if you run this on a literal potato. But it do be like that on a orange pi 5 max, however: https://i.imgur.com/WiKaszO.png
This nice little piece of software is the perfect mix between “I want to run something cool whilst at the same time something that is effective and runs everywhere” – a Windows 95-themed application launcher that runs on either X11 or wayland (or even on nothing at all!) and provides all possible binaries on your distro from a list… which you can scroll up and down using your mouse scroll wheel or by clicking on the scroll bar (Yes, it works just like the one on Windows 95). Or you can type something, get a couple suggestions up and run the binary you want by either pressing enter or by double-clicking with the left mouse button.
That [X] over there? If you click it, it’ll shut down the application window. Or you can press ESC.
Also, no .png, .ttf files or anything of the sort – all the things you are seeing are purely made of code.
To get you a working binary, simply download the provided tarball on the link above (which I made it like that due to some folks finding it easier than repository cloning, so eh)… unpack it. Download the required dependencies (Type “sudo apt install -yq build-essential libsdl2-dev make” if you are on Debian), then type “sudo make -j$(nproc) && sudo make install” and then type “win95run”.
This is under the “DO WHATEVER YOU WANT” license. Should be self-explanatory.
