    bruh i've used CDE for a very long time, though that wasn't "Linux" since CDE didn't get released as FOSS until 2010s; a 1994 linux desktop would have something like fvwm.

    even the window buttons on that web thing look nothing like CDE.

    For my untrained eyes this looks quite similar to the screenshots provided here?

    sure it certainly has some elements that mimics CDE but that's it. it's not "1994 linux" or "debian" at all, doesn't really look much like CDE other than maybe the color scheme. even the window titlebar looks like m$ win95 rather than cde/motif.

    This is not CDE, also seems like it was made with AI and vibes...
