Looks pretty cool. There is interest in CDE as well lately, it seems (NsCDE as well as CDE proper).
Beyond aesthetic reasons, it's hard to understand when one would really use these for daily driving. Anyone using this or CDE able to offer insight?
- rbanffy 6y agoHow long does CDE to start on a modern workstation?
- themodelplumber 6y agoI used CDE more than Irix (so I can't speak too much to Irix), and generally preferred it for its clean look. And that's the reason I'd use it for what I call Rebasing. Similar to bullet journaling, you find a clean slate that helps bring you to some sense of organization and the big picture again. Also similar to bullet journaling, it doesn't take a modern DE to do so. An old one with a usable text editor will do fine. In fact the clean lines, sensible design, and visible pixels give some of us a mental cue toward a simpler, gentler productivity reset. I find that my main DE is much less compelling in that way, modern though it may be.
