Debian goes retro with a spatial desktop that time forgot

Desktop Classic System is a minimalist Debian 13 distribution featuring a meticulously configured MATE desktop with spatial navigation, where windows remember their positions and sizes. The distro ships as a UEFI-only bootable USB image with no pre-installed applications, using under 800MB RAM and 6GB disk space. It implements a Classic Mac OS-inspired interface with a single Brisk menu, no window buttons panel, and unique title bar controls including roll-up and workspace pinning. The spatial desktop approach polarizes users but offers an alternative to modern UI conventions, though it lacks features like window snapping, maximize/minimize buttons, and comes without ISO or legacy BIOS support.
