Linux XP was a Fedora Linux-based[2] shareware Linux distribution designed to imitate Windows environment using GNOME desktop; it could run some Microsoft Windows programs using the Wine compatibility layer. Linux XP had to be registered within 99 startups after installation, or the OS would deactivate.[2]
The product line included:
To legally use Linux XP SMB Desktop, Linux XP Desktop Secure Edition required registration, which required purchasing a license and registering the product serial number. Linux XP Desktop had a trial period of 30 days, during which you could use the installed operating system without registering a serial number. A registered user received technical support for 1 year.
Paid use:[3]
The following set of applications is included in the standard delivery of Linux XP Desktop:[4]
A commercial implementation was supplied as part of the Linux XP SMB Desktop Wine — WINE-LXP — with extended support for running Windows applications.[5]
The Linux XP distribution provided users with the ability to process office documents in DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX and other popular document formats used in Microsoft Windows, using the built-in functions of the supplied software (OpenOffice.org, GIMP and so on).[6]

Q4OS is a light-weight Linux distribution based on Debian, targeted as a replacement for operating systems that are no longer supported on outdated hardware. The distribution is known for an addon called XPQ4, which adds themes intended to replicate the look and feel of Windows 2000, XP, 7, 8 and 10.
Linux ( LIN-uuks) is a family of free and open-source software Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, which was first released on 17 September 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Some members of the family are typically packaged as a distribution (a.k.a. distro), which includes the kernel alongside supporting system software and libraries developed by third parties—such as GNU, Red Hat, and X.Org—to create a complete operating system; however, not all Linux-based operating systems are considered distros, with Android being an example. Linux was originally designed as a clone of Unix and is distributed under the copyleft GPL license. There are many thousands of Linux distributions, many based directly or indirectly on other distributions; popular Linux distros include Debian, Fedora Linux, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, and Ubuntu, while commercial distributions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, and ChromeOS. Linux distributions are frequently used in server platforms. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses and recommends the name "GNU/Linux", to emphasize the use and importance of GNU software in many distributions. There is controversy surrounding this. Other than the Linux kernel, key components that make up a distribution may include a display server (windowing system), a package manager, a bootloader, and a Unix shell. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open-source software collaboration. The Linux kernel is considered by many to be the largest free and open source project. While originally developed for x86-based personal computers, it has since been ported to more platforms than any other operating system. When combined with Android, which uses a Linux-based kernel and is designed for smartphones, they have the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating systems.
Windows XP (stylized as Windowsxp) is a major release of Microsoft's Windows NT operating system. It was released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, and later to retail on October 25 that year. It is a direct successor to Windows 2000 for high-end and business users and Windows Me for home users. Development of Windows XP began in the late 1990s under the codename "Neptune", built on the Windows NT kernel, and explicitly intended for mainstream consumer use. An updated version of Windows 2000 was also initially planned for the business market. However, in January 2000, both projects were scrapped in favor of a single OS codenamed "Whistler", which would serve as a single platform for both consumer and business markets. As a result, Windows XP is the first consumer edition of Windows not based on the Windows 95 kernel or MS-DOS. Upon its release, Windows XP received critical acclaim, noting increased performance and stability (especially compared to Windows Me), a more intuitive user interface, improved hardware support and expanded multimedia capabilities. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 were succeeded by Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, released in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Mainstream support for Windows XP ended on April 14, 2009, and extended support ended on April 8, 2014. Embedded versions of Windows XP received support up until 2019, with Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, based on Windows XP Professional, being the last version to receive updates until April 2019. Unofficial methods were available to apply the updates from the embedded versions to other editions of Windows XP, however Microsoft has discouraged this practice, citing compatibility issues. All other security updates for Windows XP past the end-of-support date were released up until May 14, 2019.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
