F> Give me a GUI that I can use for the next 30 years, and I will be hap
All I can say is OSX hasn't changed much since System 7, as far as
window management goes, and just incrementally improves, but doesn't
seem to "take away" very much (In terms of GUI! Sorry PPC users, etc.)
But if you're taking linux -- I seriouslly recommend twm, and, for
multiple monitors and workstations, ctwm. I first used this in the
early 90's (but decided on fvwm2, then later windowmaker, instead),
used it again in employment when I found myself on HP-UX unix at an engineering
department in 2003, and used it again from 2008 through
2010, switching to "cwm" at the same employer, who was kind enough to
let me have an old mac mini in addition to my macbook -- I used
synergy, so that I could still have mac (and the required "entourage" microsoft
email client), but use OpenBSD/cwm to manage ssh'ing into
so many machines (my ~/.ssh/known_hosts was over 1,000 lines when i
left that company after 3 years).
When the next job offered a linux desktop, and it had classic gnome and
I got tired of figuring it out, I just put twm on it. It was great --
so from the early 90's to the early 2010's I used the same GUI, so here
it is, my recommendation: ctwm or just plain twm. (though, like I said,
I prefer 'cwm', but this is most advanced only on OpenBSD)
