With the 0.5.0 initial release dated July 4th, 2013, Q4OS is known for the XPQ4 addon, which allows the user to enjoy visual themes that replicate the look and feel of various Windows versions, starting with Windows 2000 and XP. Today, it still supports 32-bit hardware and features two desktop choices, namely KDE Plasma (only for 64-bit systems) and Trinity.
