The nostelgia is strong with this one.
Every 6ish or so months I see a link like this and spend a lazy Sunday trying to get CDE (or another equally retro package or system, my last hit was Desqview)
It usually ends up either me aborting because of some dependency hell trying to get all the old versions in sync, or I get the system up, take a pleasant trip down memory lane, then 10 minutes later get annoyed by the impracticalities of it, and go back to my current system with renewed appreciation
I don’t know where I’m going with this, I’m not complaining I love doing it, and I can’t imagine I’m the only one, anyone wanna share some stories?

I go a bit overboard with windows managers/desktop environments from icewm to fluxbox to KDE to GNOME. I've settled on XFCE but I have a VM solely to muck around with desktop environments and get my fix. The worst for me is VIm color schemes. Can't seem to choose one I can stick with.

- jokr004 9y agoI do the exact same thing. Though I will admit that I gave up the last time I tried compiling CDE on Linux hah.
