My point is that "classical UNIX desktop" doesn't exist.

(Hell, even UNIX itself doesn't exist anymore. Linux and FreeBSD is its own thing now.)

It sure does exist, a large majority of Linux and FreeBSD users pretend they are still living in the 80's with vt100 and an improved twm.

That's in no way a "classic Unix desktop". This is hipster nostalgia, like those indie "retro" pixel art videogames.

What is a classic Unix desktop then? Workstation running CDE/Motif?

> Workstation running CDE/Motif?

Yes. "CDE" itself stands for "Common Desktop Environment". (Wikipedia says it was "part of the part of the UNIX 98 Workstation Product Standard", and if you remember the 1990's like I do, it was, indeed, supposed to be the "standard" desktop for Unixes.)

P.S. Linux isn't a Unix.

How do you find time for work? I see your comments shitting on everything that's not Windows pretty much everywhere.

You missed my praises for Apple and Google platforms.

What language do you use C++ or Rust?

[pjmlp]

Java, C#, and C++, mostly.

Wait a minute, C# doesn't compile that long :)
