CDE – Common Desktop Environment – Release 2.5.3 (sourceforge.net) 43 points by marcodiego 7mo ago ↗ HN
[–] lproven 7mo ago ↗ It is highly pleasing and apt to me that the real original CDE, open sourced after a petition by Peter Howkinshttps://www.theregister.com/2012/08/09/cde_goes_opensource/... is still being maintained... while the very clever hand-crafted FOSS recreation, NsCDE, built on FVMW and things, lies slowly mouldering.I compared them:https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/28/battle_of_the_retro_d...Actual CDE is heavier, on Linux, but I'm sure there's a good reason. This thing ran well in 32MB of RAM, 40 years ago.I feel NetBSD should adopt it by default. It works, and it would be fitting.
