A screenshot from my computer running Arch Linux with the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment using the Reactionary Plus theme, which captures the aesthetic of a Microsoft Windows 2000 Classic theme.

Winamp is one of the few things I really miss from Windows.

It's KDE Plasma 6 with one of the one-click Global Themes applied.
And likely some customization on top of that. Plasma is awesome.

It's dead
Orphaned
Abandonware
It is kill

It's not being updated any more, so you'll need to use a replacement, like fastfetch.
