If you’re tired of the modern internet, then why not dial back to the 1990s? One nostalgic developer has recreated the pinnacle of early Linux operating systems with the so-called CDE Time Capsule. Posted as an open-source project on GitHub under the GPL license, but accessible via its own website, the project has faithfully recreated the appearance of a Debian Linux installation, circa 1994.
This is not CDE, also seems like it was made with AI and vibes…
doesn’t look like CDE or any old linux desktop, seems vibecoded
Definitely vibecoded, sad to see that stuff replicated here.
What are you on about?

bruh i’ve used CDE for a very long time, though that wasn’t “Linux” since CDE didn’t get released as FOSS until 2010s; a 1994 linux desktop would have something like fvwm.
even the window buttons on that web thing look nothing like CDE.
For my untrained eyes this looks quite similar to the screenshots provided here?
