PowerToys (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;legacyupdate.net&#x2F;download-center&#x2F;powertoys" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;legacyupdate.net&#x2F;download-center&#x2F;powertoys</a>) used to be on my &quot;first software to install&quot; list on a new machine. Between Tweak UI and Deskman, you could _almost_ get a minimal X Windows-like UI. Get those set up and add on LiteStep (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;litestep.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;litestep.net&#x2F;</a>) and you were pretty much good to go, with the exceptions of the kernel, network stack, and CLI toolset, of course.
