  1. FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.

    Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.

    Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere

    Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.

  3. Какие страхи мешают разработчикам перейти на Cloud IDE и как мы их закрывали архитектурно

    Обычно разработчики пользуются локальными IDE вроде VS Code или IDE от JetBrains со своим набором плагинов, настроек и собранным под себя окружением. Иногда — удалённой машиной. Но есть третий вариант, который пока многим непривычен и потому вызывает настороженность, — Cloud IDE, или CDE. Закономерно возникают вопросы: а точно ли мои данные в безопасности? Есть ли в CDE все нужные компоненты для полноценной работы или это просто способ быстро заглянуть в код?

  4. I've been an #fvwm user for a long time (early 2000's) and I've always appreciated it being more configurable than any other window manager out there.

    But lately, there's been a few excellent scriptable window managers popping up that have it beat. After many random attempts, I've finally switched the main desktop to #awesomewm

    The biggest challenge has been how to make it not look so darn flat. I like my #cde / #motif / #4dwm / whatever style borders, so getting that implemented in awesomewm took me an embarrassingly long time, but the fact that I was able to do it, is certainly a testament to it's customizability.

  10. For everyone worried that #unix and in particular #hpux might be hard to use, I made a short #tutorial video below on how to install software.

    In this video you see how easy it is to install some games!

    Nice. This used the #CDE desktop, based on #Motif. I did prefer the earlier #OpenWindows / #OpenLook, though. Partially because I was involved in the development of that.

  14. @TheOneDoc @ljrk @kde

    And in 2012 #KDE and #GNOME were already really good and so probably nobody cared about #CDE any more ...

    Or did it get made use of, at least in parts, for some modern desktop environment? Or are there even user and developer communities of the free code of CDE (will it get ported to Wayland)?

  16. Legitimate question for all you lovely BSD-folks. Does anyone daily CDE nowadays?

  18. Freshly updated CDE 2.5.3 on NetBSD.
    Have to check if it still builds on SPARC though.

  20. The recently released #CDE 2.5.3 runs on #XLibre.

    That may bring back some memories of good times, tears shed, or other sentiments… Yes, we are almost at the end of 2025, and CDE is still working.

  22. Yes, the picture accompanying this post was just what I had handy, and was SunOS and not Solaris. To make up for it, here's the CDE Phone.

  23. CDE (Common Desktop Environment) è tornato dopo due anni con la versione 2.5.3, reintroducendo il look classico Unix e migliorando la compatibilità con i moderni sistemi Linux e OpenBSD #CDE #Linux #Unix

  24. You can now install the #CDE desktop port on #OpenBSD/sparc64.. because naturally, where else would you run it? :flan_coffee:​
