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.
For those who didn't get to experience those early Unix-based operating systems, they borrowed a lot from the -Unix part of their name. CDE, or the Common Desktop Environment, was the desktop environment used on Unix-based systems until successors like GNOME and KDE were released by the end of the decade. It was jointly developed by a number of big firms, including HP, IBM, and Sun, and first launched back in June 1993.
