What if you used a late 80s Unix system for your job or university, but still wanted a nice and pretty GUI to use? Well then, let’s discover a nice selection of window managers and graphical user interfaces that will make your boring installation look awesome!

I'm heartened to see a younger person taking an interest in vintage computing topics! *nix / Linux window manager customization (a la Enlightenment) is still a very active space (for instance, on Lemmy, look at the "unixporn" communities - SFW despite the name, featuring user WM customizations). I hope you'll continue writing!

    Thank you! I'll definitely have a look at those, perhaps they'll give me some inspiration for my new Endeavour OS installation.

    I'll definitely keep on writing this, as I'd like to hopefully reach Windows Vista (and its fascinating beta, Longhorn), and maybe even 8, we'll see. It will take a while, but I'll get there!
