FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhereToday’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.#FreeBSD #BSD #CDE #Unix #Motif #bhyve #OpenSource #UnixPorn #RetroComputing #FOSS
