## 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.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-14 (UTC), 00:37–02:45: 105 → 109 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +36 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: #160.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @johannjhang (244 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 3
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 36 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
