   #Unix or #linux desktop from the 90s. Awesome aesthetic 🔥

     @nixCraft Ah, fvwm. I knew I had found my People when I walked into a new job and they asked me what desktop I preferred. I'm a KDE guy at home, but I chose fvwm for work. Less distractions. Loved it.

     CDE :D

     The currently stil popular XFCE is based on CDE, what is not really recognisable since XFCE 4, but XFCE 3 came real close to CDE. NB: XFCE4 is still able to resemble CDE

     @nixCraft mostly for anyone who sees this and thinks all Linux people are crazy, I've been a Linux user at home for almost 20 years now and I don't see the appeal of this kinda GUI.

     You have to work to make your desktop look this bad.

     ( For the rest of you, yes I know tiling window managers are useful)

     @nixCraft Yeah, that definitely looks too heavy for me. I strictly go lightweight.

     @nixCraft I still use FVWM daily by the way. The look and feel is a bit more modern, but configuration file hasn't changed much.
