Forgot pic like a noob. BTW, this is the Sparky Linux distro. Just install it and run sudo apt update, then sudo apt install cde-desktop. Easy, then you can see what it feels like to use.

Using CDE on an actual Solaris SPARC box was comfy af.

>>59868723
That's a file manager, not a file picker.

>>59868753

Screensavers haven't been a thing since CRT screens stopped existing. What is even this shit?

>>59868635
Where do I find these packages?

>>59869018
DEs like this haven't been a thing since technology became capable of running nicer looking shit
the screensaver is there for the same reason that CDE itself is

>>59869073
In the Sparky Linux repos.

Why is CDE almost never seen in the rice threads?
It looks like the best retro DE.

>>59873515
because it's ugly outdated shit

>>59869018
Image retention is still a thing with LCDs, but you can just set it to power off after a while.

>>59868792
Post wallpaper pls

>>59868635
just in time, now that unity is about to fade away.

>>59873783
It's just small backdrops tiled across the whole screen.
Anyway, I've extracted them from source and uploaded them:

>>59873515
Somewhat broken, unavailable on most repos, has quite some CVE's and most GTK and Qt stuff has problems
Also, small userbase thus little support

>>59874277
Apart from the CVEs, all of that can easily be offset by autism, which is the bread and butter of rice threads.

>>59868723
>shows the file manager
that's even worse

>>59874344
The only CVEs worth a shit I've seen can be autistically mitigated using a firewall, or just running Solaris 10.

How do I open a file with a program from the file manager? I want to open a picture with feh.

Why would anyone use this? If it's still installed somewhere - fine. The terminal emulator is probably the most usable program. But why would anyone still care about this desktop?

Why would anyone not use this?

Is this the reason they were rejecting commits?

>>59876674
It's better than Gnome 3 at least

>>59868775
Can you change the clock down there in the dock to a digital one?

>>59874277
It's honestly a really shitty DE, but it's unfortunately the only retro one that sorta works on modern hardware. I wish that AmiWM had continued being developed.

>>59873581
You need better taste.

>>59876674

Have you seen how great it looks?

I mentioned still using X.org?

Wayland is a meme, we'll all still be using X in 40 years.

>>59881438

x86 it's also a standard. Keep in mind that.

>>59881501
>x86 it's also a standard. Keep in mind that.
So? Inb4 muh stupid design decisions, they are irrelevant for almost everyone

>>59881564
I think that explains by itself.

>>59879560
it's real

when will someone fork it and not make it a bitch to compile?

>>59882538
Just install mwm

>>59882665
might as well just use FVWM at that point

though that's pretty crap

>>59882695
What's wrong with Fvwm? I keep going back and forth between it and Window Maker.

>>59882695
dtwm (the window manager CDE uses) is based on it http://cdesktopenv.sourceforge.net/man1/dtwm.html
The rest of CDE are the dock and other programs.
