About the project

An experimental project that runs Windows XP's explorer.exe as a Linux desktop shell on a patched Wine, with Linux app integration, tray icons, and Japanese input.

Useful for
  • Turn a fresh Debian 13 install into an XP-style desktop session using your own XP SP3 ISO.
  • Try the shell without an XP ISO by installing the ReactOS explorer session.
  • Run Windows 32/64-bit apps so their shortcuts land in the XP Start menu under Wine.

4.1 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 14, 2026, 02:14 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-14 (UTC), 00:37–02:03: 105 → 109 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +37 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 3 days old and already has 109 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #157.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @johannjhang (244 followers).

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
