Is CDE the most Vaporwave DE?

>>57190436
Yes.

Bonus points for just working with Debian. Truly the patrician choice.

You're an idiot, OP.

CDE has been installed by default on the Solaris Unix OS for years.

These are the instructions I used to change the window manager in CDE to FVWM:
http://tiem.utk.edu/~peek/software/solaris/make-dtlogin/original/
http://tiem.utk.edu/~peek/software/solaris/make-dtlogin/

>>57192577
dtlogin was installed but CDE was short lived on Solaris. For the past 15 or so years GNOME has been the default DE.

>>57190436
I would use it if it wasn't for the fact that it doesn't work well with modern systems and standards.

>>57192694
It really does need some desktop widgets like a networkmanager and a laptop battery indicator. Otherwise it adheres to Unix standards.

Go use the *optional* GNOME installation that shipped on Solaris 9 in all its JPEG artifact-y glory and get back to me on how much better it was, they didn't make it default until 10 anyway.

>>57194075
>t. poorfag that can't handle real DEs

>>57194130
They were forced by POSIX to default to CDE once that standard became defunct they quickly moved on. Everyone used OpenWindows anyway until they removed it. there were only a few years where CDE was pretty much your only option. Hell it was HP-UX baby and even they installed some ximian-gnome desktop as default in the early 2000's

You can change the colors, I'm pretty sure. Check Sun/Oracle's documentation for CDE, it's pretty complete.

>>57195499
I literally couldnt using the customizer. It also seemed like a lot of options were missing for some reason.

Maybe the slackware conversion was just shit and doesn't work for anyone. You could change the background images, but they wouldnt save when you rebooted.

>Check Sun/Oracle's documentation for CDE, it's pretty complete.

I'll do that if I reinstall CDE sometime.
Maybe try to find a config file or something.

That definitely sounds like an issue with Slackware and CDE. I had no problems changing wallpaper on Debian.

It wasn't my choice. My Ultra 10 workstation was also the backup Radius server (for dial-up modem authentication). Solaris 7 with CDE was already installed when I was hired.

I did mention here (>>57192577) that I used FVWM as my window manager. I only saw CDE during startup and shutdown, which was rare.
