I need pictures of old Operating Systems and their UIs. Late 80s to early 2000s. The more obscure, the better. I'll start off with what little I have.

As often happens in technology, this was written from 86-89 and is still ahead of what's currently available in some ways.

It makes a lot of other fonts look like shit

You can find plenty of old screenshots here along with some awesome ranting about how IE is evil and Mozilla is the best.

Here's GEM/3 in CGA mode, running on actual hardware from the time.
>>61050579
Is that the castrated version
Where did everything go so wrong?
>>61050610
Indeed. Thank you, Apple.
I was trying out OpenBSD in a virtual machine about 2 months ago, and was surprised to find they had KDE 3.5 as a desktop environment option...
P.S: I now know better than to run the GUI as root, but I'm still learning...
>>61050675
at any rate, one of the things I liked one time when I tried RedHat Linux 9, was the kpersonalizer in KDE 3, which lets your desktop look like anything you want. I was disappointed they didn't port it to KDE 4.
>>61050703
or KDE 5

At least trinity de is still a thing

I did enjoy CDE we had on some university SPARC workstations, but that doesn't seem easily available anywhere these days (easily, as in apt-get/pkg install/pkg_add the package)
>>61050765
https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdesktopenv/
>>61050753
it's very buggy, and has very limited support or development. if it had even half of the resources poured into MATE it could be something. I did try Q4OS, but my sound didn't work, and I get occasional freezes (though that start menu looks gorgeous, and the system is very lightweight and responsive).
I liked the Bluecurve theme in Red Hat and early Fedora.
Beos
>>61050797
my point exactly. there's no binaries. just source I have to compile. I'm not comfortable doing that yet (still a unix/linux n00b, even though I've tried it on and off in the past) and I only run make install for very small things.
>>61050269

>>61050841
Yeah. Figure I'll give it a try one of these days when I'm bored and have a little time to kill.
>>61050841
Wonder if it comes packaged with OpenIndiana or illumos.
>>61049798
what firefox skin you using?
>>61050616
>using windows 8.1 right now
>hmm cant see the scrollbar on firefox that well
>oh its not a firefox skin thing its a windows scrollbar
>you need to install 3rd pary software to change the colour of the scroll bar
also the start button sometimes doesn't work for no reason
>>61050809
that was very clever marketing at the time. it made the redhat/KDE and redhat/GNOME look exactly the same.
>>61050900
I think OpenIndiana went with GNOME for a while, and now they're using MATE
>>61050703
>Shows all the Windows taskbar themes and doesn't apply them
Fuckin tease
>>61050905
No skin, just heavily customized with Classic Theme Restorer, Classic Toolbar Buttons, Hide Caption Titlebar Plus and Omnibar. Imma be pissed if new Firefox breaks all the work I put into it.
>>61051005
jesus christ mate
>>61050953
Now there is only the systemd theme.
Just got this set up yesterday, I'm pretty satisfied with it. Can't get all the icons right, but oh well. Pretty enough for me.
>>61050111
That looks good actually
>>61052075

>>61050111
I can't believe their internal build of IRIX for x86 hasn't leaked out onto the interwebz yet.
>>61052075
>>61050111
if i could get a visual style in windows 7 that emulates motif or nextstep or anything like that i'd cum instantly
>>61049990
/ge/ would be DOA
>>61050900
it's absolutely broken on OI even if you build it and you're better off just installing Solaris 10 outright which is superior anyway
>>61052247
there was also a version of mac os for x86 well before 10.4

I was born in 1990 and watched an .rmvb encode of the 4th Digimon film while doing my math homework on College Linux 2.1 in 2003. Sorry I'm not older, grandpa.

I'm really shitted off that QNX isn't more of a thing these days. Everything I read suggests it closes a lot of the complaints I have about modern OSs. But no, I'm not allowed to have nice things.
>>61051005
>Imma be pissed if new Firefox breaks all the work I put into it.
kek that's what happened to me when they pushed whatever version that had "compact mode"
couldn't bother remaking everything
>>61050953
i miss redhat 9. was my first linux at home, followed by fedora core 2. both comfy as fuck. better times.
>>61050809
jessus you made me nostalgia

>>61056269
those icons were actually prettier than any of those in recent OSs
>>61050616
Listen here you little shit!
>>61050809
That was the good shit.I still want it back.
Not specifically an OS but a damn handy way to use DOS back in the day.
>>61056486
oh wow that brings back memories
>>61049715
this was the best graphic era of windows. it all went to shit with vista
>>61056486
now this made me nostalgia hard. good post.
>>61050616
why?
>>61056558
Yes but 7 was a beautiful OS.
>>61051736
How?
>>61056486
I loved DOS Shell
it totally beats the command line
>>61049715
this was the time windows actually looked great, windows 2000 was good.
>>61049956
Cool, how so anon? How is this ahead and in what ways, please elaborate for my curious mind?
