Corel Linux first launched in 1999, from the same company that at the time owned the WordPerfect word processing software. While it was made to compete with Microsoft's Windows it quickly died off.

Anyone else remember Corel Linux?

    Uh… In what way does BeOS have any similarities to Windows 9x? It resembles more like Next step if at all. The Author never took a look at it huh?

    But no I’ve never heard of Corel Linux.

    Ok, KDE looks most like Windows 10 to the best of my knowledge, what looks most like Windows 11?

      Windows 11, in terms of design changes, seems to draw inspiration from KDE and Gnome.

      The Win11 start menu changed and looks more like the KDE Plasma one, albeit centred like the Gnome app grid.

      They’ve switched to rounded corners, like Gnome.

      They now use dots to denote pages, like Gnome does all throughout their system.

      To me, the overall system in Win11 seems like it’s been made more like KDE, but the smaller nuances seem more Gnome-inspired.

      Microsoft is no stranger to copying Linux DEs, remember KDE Plasma’s motto in 2017? “Simple by default. Powerful when needed.”

      Compare that to Microsoft’s totally not stolen tagline they used to promote 11: “Simple by default. Powerful by choice.”
