Please give all the weird, out there desktop environments you know of. I want to experiment with all the strangest stuff.
Enlightenment is as weird as it gets unless we are counting mobile shells
MaXX Interactive Desktop
PaperWM
>>102223013I just realized that I should also mention that NsCDE uses fvwm as its backend, but you can also use fvwm as a standalone
>>102223013Has anyone tried using these DEs with a different font? Are the fonts hardcided? Is the main thing that dethers me from trying it.
>>102223393NsCDE has a font selector right in the main settings menu
Equinox Desktop Environment (EDE)
>>102223013I've always liked toms window manager
KDE Liquidshell

>>102223013>>102223045>cdeLinux already had a standard ui toolkit from cde why didn't we just keep improving on that instead of fragmenting between GTK and Qt?

>>102225303Motif was closed source until 2012 so they made KDE. But Qt was closed until 2000 so they also made Gnome
>>102223989how have i never heard of this
>>102225352Ah I didn't know that. Makes sense.
>>102224343Not what you're talking about, but I stumbled upon this one some time ago: https://guidebookgallery.org/guis/
>>102226260neat, thanks anonone of guidebook's links got me to toastytech's gui site, which in turn had a link to the site I was thinking of among its collection>http://www.plig.org/~xwinman/it seems to be dead since nearly a decade, but the waybackmachine had it archivedI'm just glad there's a bunch of these kind of sites still around. these hyperfocused corners of the world wide web is what made the old internet so great..

inb4>that's not obscurewdym everyone installs openshell or an equivalent.
>>102230431idk if is just indulced nostalgia (even tho i didnt live these times)but these old looks are amazing.
>>102223013Any of them that are focused on keyboard first users?
>>102225417I never hear about it either until I saw a thread here about it just a couple days ago
around this parts any desktop that isn't slathered with gross trannime is "osbscure"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwmI've literally never heard anyone talk about this one on /g/
IceWM
>>102231788The reason is that twm was quickly superceded by tvtwm.Both did the job but were a bit primitive.

Trinity is kind of obscure I guessthere's also that KDE 1 fork
>>102231455trvth
>>102232530also found out there's a KDE 4 fork called Katana
>>102231455>>102232545You both are welcome to post some actually obscure ones then. I'm waiting.
>>102232530>Trinity is kind of obscure I guessPerhaps, but still nice.
>>102234228What OS?
>>102234237Symbos. It is written in Z80 assembly.
>>102234228better than waylandloonix needs hundreds of megabytes of ram minimum to have a windowing system and a gui toolkit

>>102234769In that case I can also offer this 6502 alternative (also in assembly):https://atari8.co.uk/gui/It is worth pondering what people can du with 8-bit processors clocked at a few MHz with about 64 KB RAM,

>>102236173>Chicago95Looks like absolute shit compared to fvwm95
Sun's News Hyperlook. So obscure that you can only get dodgy photographs of it.
>>102223013>I want to experiment with all the strangest stuffbet you want to experiment with all the strangest porn and different genders as well, freetard trannystop wasting time on garbage

>>102223013Q4OSIt has plasma and trinity options, based off plebian, been around for a hot minute, not nearly as popular as some others.Worth a glance if curious, mainable too.
