I remember Wyse Linux V6 distribution for WYSE S50 thin client has qvwm and modificated KDE that looks like Win 3.11.

I don't see current activity and the one (old) review I watched on YT seemed to find it incomplete and/or buggy so I don't think it would be a good default WM (or DE) for any distro. But it would probably be interesting to play with if you were to package it up into an extension.

Post by: Sashank999 on December 07, 2024, 07:21:29 AM: Hello.

I liked the screenshots so I tried to compile it. Being an old project, it definitely as issues as the C++ in project has exception declarations in function names which are deprecated by C++ standard and gcc. The syntax of rsvg-convert has also changed, used in this project.
In order to avoid others wasting their time, I wrote 2 scripts to compile edelib and ede. You need to execute this to get the dependencies:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -wil compiletc automake libX11-dev python3.9-dev jam dbus-devI can say that EDE is barely working. Or it may be ok for people who have the time to configure it.

Well, this is still using sources from the sourceforge repository (last updated in 2014). Currently there is a github repository whose last commit dates 2018 (https://github.com/edeproject/ede), so I think this could be considered out of date

apparently no active forks on that hub https://github.com/edeproject/ede/network

Post by: neonix on December 11, 2024, 12:13:16 AM: I was able to compile EDE source code from Archlinux, in TC4, but window bar was very uncomfortable. It's not worth loose time to this enviroment.

This project brings my memories to the most famouse Linux distribution.
