Those two desktops look better than what I am currently using. Are they open software or free source?

I wish kde weren't so hideous, because it's functionally decent.

SunView was better than most Linux even today, insofar as it looked similar to GEM on Atari ST and was a similar tone-deaf attempt to mimic the original Mac now show me some NeWS

Notorious b.s.d. posted:sunview only shipped a handful of tools, and there were pretty much no preferences, customization, or third party applications. the first few releases of gnome 3 and kde 4 both managed to have similar properties without being good

Not have insane defaults that you need to dig through a registry and edit key values to change? like seriously what is up with multiple monitor support? I wouldn't think that plugging a laptop into a monitor would be an edge case in TYOOL 2015. This has been a solved problem for at least a decade now.
