Legendary icons for Home and Root.
I’d kill for a functional DE that looks like this. Currently using Chicago95

What about Openlook? I guess it’s still working.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openlook/TDE’s CDE window decoration style pretty much matches the screenshot. There’s also a matching widget style (Motif). I’d guess that the icon set exists Somewhere Out There On The Internet. So you can get this look if you want it badly enough to install a non-default DE that’s currently limited to X11.
I’ve looked into CDE before but the support seems pretty poor compared to Chicago95
Looking at that screenshot, even though I’ve been a very happy KDE user for many years now, I do kinda miss the days when many Xfree86 desktop environments were influenced more by NeXTStep than Windows.
Yeah, I long for window decorations and borders like that. Anyone know a good KDE 5 theme that does it?
There’s a very similar theme called Commonality
Commonality and Irixium are great.
Gorgeous. I need someone to pick up Cantata.
Thanks, I spent a couple of hours playing around with that. It didn’t work quite right but still I’ve got some glorious retro ugliness going on. A mishmash of CDE, Windows 2000 icons and KDE 5, it’s mental and I love it.
Screenshots please! That sounds brilliant!
Absolutely delightful, thankyou!
I should clarify this is a screenshot I uploaded to Gunkies.org for the Yggdrasil Linux page
Looks treemendous
I bought a book that had Yggdrasil in a CD that I used so I didn’t have to go into the university for the Unix labs.
I think that the entirety of the book, around 1,000 pages, was printed out man pages.
I saw this in a magazine and it was so cool looking. A few months later I got Linux on CD and never looked back. That 3D Motif/fvwm look was amazing.
Funny enough, my BIOS did not support booting from CD. I remember in DOS, I had to load MSCDEX from a floppy but I have no recollection on how I actually booted and installed Linux from CD.
Possibly from DOS. It’s a real-mode operating system.
I used an X-Terminal (i.e. a physical box) that had a desktop like that in 1994. I think it was HP but could have been SUN. Don’t remember.
Is it possible to make it working on a today machine ? Even with a virtual machine ? Sorry for my ignorance.
That’s cool and all but there’s no vintage community for that?
Vintage?? I had just started middle school, that was like five years ago…
@MonkderDritte@feddit.de I mean this place’s rules say anything related to Linux so…
c/UnixPorn
I remember this. It was pretty cool at the time. I think it was the first Live CD I booted.
