When I watched Jurassic Park when it came out, I got so enamored with the computers in the movie, especially the SGI, that I adjusted the looks of our DOS GUI library[1] so it would look more like it. (I had already a liking to OSF/Motif then)

- ivolimmen 3mo agoThis looks really nice, I also have a weird love for this kinds of GUI's. Windows 95/98 & CDE are my thing, and I really miss it.
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 3mo agoThere's always NsCDE which should run on modern Linux. Haven't tried it myself. https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE
- sombragris 3mo agoI have both CDE and NsCDE installed on my system (Slackware64-current). Both run well and, surprisingly, good ol' CDE behaves better in some respects. You can download the original CDE here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/ Reading from the activity, it still seems to receive some fixes and updates although, as the SlackBuild author said, it would not be advisable to use it in an internet-facing desktop for security reasons. NsCDE also behaves very well. Otherwise, you can use Xfce which was heavily inspired by CDE; and now, even Plasma 6 have a very good CDE-like (or Motif) theme.
