I put a screenshot of Solaris CDE in the wallpaper thread. It's kind of
misplaced but here's the link.

Of course they are better. A Retina display is overwhelmingly good to look
at. I'm not saying screens shouldn't be sharp. The same way a good soft couch
is eaiser to sit at than a hard surface. I just don't need that bling.
This may be helpful I hope.

My setup worked like that with three entries. Windows was installed first,
then Trisquel. Changing '0' to '2' made Win start first by default.
I wonder if this works.

Here's a screenshot of a 32x32 backdrop, transparent. Looks even better than
the 48x48.
Who knows when 19th century tapestry or wallpapers are all the rage again.
I think there should be Motif look-a-like themes for Xfce on Xfce.org.

I converted that to XBM (X BitMap) and reduced resolution to 48x48. It looks
marvellous through a green background.

This is Dthello, the CDE splash screen. It shows the version of CDE when
starting but I could not capture that, only the background.
That Mofit theme looks authentic. It's good to know it's available. Thanks.
I did it step by step as detailed in the instructions. I didn't try anything
else. If you succeed, it would be far easier to do a reinstall.
I think if it was as simple as packaging they would've done it. Maybe
maintenance is an issue.

Check if it applies to your situation.
I tried to install it alongside a regular Trisquel setup but failed. I wiped
the laptop, installed minimal Debian with X support. The GUI wouldn't boot if
I had other window managers.
I'll play with it for a while. It's a little bit long in the tooth.

CDE may or may not compile on these platforms but will not actually work
I think you could try Trisquel netinstall. I don't see why it should not work
the same.
I installed sound drivers. CDE doesn't seem to have any apps for sound except
the beep. My Debian setup was minimal, so I had to add Alsa. Alsamixer GUI
works nicely. I made a launcher for it.

I installed CDE.
You're right. Thanks. I installed package xsol. 'Command not found'. Then
looked for it in /usr/share/games. It doesn't add itself to the path somehow.
Here it is.
Here's a video tutorial how to edit and replace launcher icons in CDE's front
panel subpanels (menus).

I changed most of the generic icons that I found and used. CDE only comes
with a limited set of pixel art.

GNU alone is not right because it contradicts what RMS has been tellin the

You should watch the video. It deals with the myths you've raised.

Rhythmbox hides its GUI in the notification area when minimized to get out of
the way. To exit, you should press quit or stop music and then close the
window. If you don't like this
I think it's right click on the icon in the notification area. You'll see an
option 'quit'. If this is confusing, stop music and then close the window. If
music is being played and you minimize the player window, it will hide its
GUI but still keeps playing.
You have to narrow down your issues so they can be answered. There's nobody
here who can take responsibility for allegations that run rampant out there.
There's no myth about rebooting. It's done when needed -- usually kernel
updates.

The OP is savvy about computers and GNU/Linux. He's not looking for help.
He's looking for faults and excuses to make a point of view. This is my

I didn't know FSF was considered a charity. Must be my understanding of
English lacking in this respect. I thought it was a non-profit. I checked and
they seem to be synonyms. Charities have a bad name.
I stand corrected. Maybe I was thinking of foundations. Anyway, never mind
that part. Google giving to charity looks to me like buying face. Am I wrong
about that as well?
FSF a charity? Charities are more often than not for tax evasion. Besides,
Google is only buying face and making merit. In the past influential people
paid to the church to ease their conscience and absolve sins. This is the
modern variety.

This is spot-on.

I don't think it's anything that was added by Windows. The BIOS string is
