I wonder if they cloned Finder from MacOS 9, which was better than the MacOS X one in pretty much every way. The screenshot makes me think they might have.

  It looks like the Mac OS X 10.0–10.2 Finder with the toolbar collapsed. Same massive icon spacing: https://i.imgur.com/fLndIw6.png https://i.imgur.com/fLndIw6.png The closest Free Software analogue I've ever found for the Classic Finder is ROX-Filer, pictured here: https://cooltrainer.org/images/original/freebsd11-wmaker.png https://cooltrainer.org/images/original/freebsd11-wmaker.png

    That screenshot gives me the feels: WindowMaker, WipEout, FreeBSD. That’s as beautiful today as it might have been 15+ years ago. The “modern” FreeBSD logo and composited windows decorations betray it’s timelessness a bit (2005 or sooner), though I suppose the earliest it could have been was sometime after 1999 (ROX-Filer and Sim City 3000).
