+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted May 18, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted May 18, 2014 Inspired by a screenshot on the 'Why Linux is better' website from macstar's sig I decided to see if Window Maker is still in the Fedora repos. As you can see it still is, and still looks pretty much like it did in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted May 18, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted May 18, 2014 it looks like win 98 for me :D It's inspired by NeXTSTEP/OpenStep: - the UNIX system which Apple bought when they acquired NeXT in Dec 1996, and which later evolved into Mac OS X. Oh yeah, as a bonus Apple got Steve Jobs back by acquiring NeXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
