Hi guys.

My mom has pretty old and shitty home HP notebook and I was thinking that since she mainly uses it for browsing Facebook and watching Youtube that I would upgrade it for her to Linux instead of Win 11. The only thing is that I want some lightweight desktop like XFCE or maybe Mate and to make it as painless as possible for her I would like to install Windows 10 looking theme on that machine.

Do you guys know of any good themes that are updated at least on semi-regular?

Thanks. ;)

      What hardware are you running this on? I’ve got Ubuntu with KDE running on some ancient Pentium dual core systems from like 2009 or 2010, and it boots to desktop in ~30 seconds or so.
