okay I don't post much but I can try to describe myself using screenshots instead
Screenshot of a Windows XP desktop, using its "classic" Win98-style rectangular theme in a dark, cold tint. There's an Xterm window being received over the network via X11, showing various messages from MuMuDVB (software to re-stream DVB TV channels over LAN). On top of it, there is a Windows Media Player window switched to one of its weirder built-in skins, now looking like a bright-green humanoid head with massive loudspeaker ears, and with its forehead showing a very small view of the TV channel being streamed. Screenshot of a Windows 98 desktop, set to the "Mystery" theme (one of the built-in themes it came with) - dark brown hues and a wallpaper picture of maybe a 18th century office with lots of bookshelves. It's kind of cozy and there's a lot of miscellaneous icons on the desktop (RealPlayer; Mozilla - not Firefox; PuTTY; etc). The focus is on a small window that configures Windows file sharing - unusually for Windows 98 it contains a list of authorized users, some of which are clearly entries loaded from a modern Active Directory domain. Screenshot of a Linux... uh, desktop? It's very small compared to modern displays, and the only window occupies the entire screen (minus a taskbar at the top). The taskbar looks like a classic Windows one (aside from color scheme) but says "IceWM" on the Start button. The maximized window is GNOME Terminal with multiple tabs; the current tab shows a tmux screen with even more tabs, and the current one is split into three windows that show various outputs from long-range Wi-Fi equipment being configured over SSH. Maybe unusually for terminal apps, it's bright (approximately black-on-white instead of the usual opposite) and uses a fancy serif font that looks more like typewriter output than a terminal app. Screenshot of a Windows 95 desktop using its default rectangular gray theme, showing a bunch of folder windows in the background, an "eXcursion Control Panel" window in one corner - DEC eXcursion being an ancient X server for Windows - and then several more being received over the network via X11 from a Linux system (a text editor, an IRC client, a basic Xterm)
