  • NsCDE

    Modern and functional CDE desktop based on FVWM

  • Chicago95

    A rendition of everyone's favorite 1995 Microsoft operating system for Linux.

    The Win95 interface, being rather well-known, was a frequent emulation target and generally easier to do than OS X, although the finer details are usually missing from both (e.g. good keyboard control).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

    It looks like you need a few other daemons configured besides CDE itself. But as you mentioned, setting cde.enable is way easier.

  • Jadesktop

    Discontinued Linux desktop environment built with HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and Python.
