User Reviews

  • Very good spirit to maintain this desktop environment and it must be quite a huge work. It's not difficult to add apps to the apps manager but a bit difficult to link icons to them. An occasion to look at MWM and related projects (EMWM), Xresources and read man pages also. So it's really unix ! Well a bit of nostalgia and it made me rediscover old X tools like xclipboard.
  • When I was young, I could not afford any commercial UNIX workstation running CDE. I used to dream about CDE while typing away on MS Word on Windows 3.11. It's amazing to see how much desktop scene has evolved and CDE has aged quite well
  • Please keep going. Good job. I propose an Common Desktop Environment ISO for tests.
  • Really good to see CDE still working. My Raspberry Pi now looks just like an old HP 9000 or RS/6000. Excellent.
  • I use CDE on my home laptop running FreeBSD. Thank you
