I want to go to the alternate timeline where a major distro actually picked up the GNUstep ball and ran with it, and built out a full desktop based around WindowMaker. It's still faster and more fun than most modern desktops.

  Hi Lammy, perhaps this project works with Wayland? https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace https://github.com/trunkmaster/nextspace

    This looks wonderful, thanks for the link! I'll spin up a Linux VM and play around with this when I have some time.

What is so special about NeXTSTEP and WindowMaker? I see it often brought up and I actually used WindowMaker briefly at some point in the past, but I don't "get it". Could someone explain?
