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?
Java, C#, and C++, mostly.
Wait a minute, C# doesn't compile that long :)
There are these things called CI/CD and integration tests.
