Nextspace

Source: https://github.com/trunkmaster/

As retrocomputing enthusiast you surely know the history of NeXTSTEP. Based on BSD, the operating system was developed around the time Tim Berners-Lee brought HTTP and HTML to life. NeXTSTEP was more common in the scientific community, and was bought by Apple in 1996.

Subsequently, large parts of today's macOS are derived from NeXTSTEP, the Ns namespace comes from somewhere, right? 🤷

Anyway, Sergii Stoian has developed nextspace, a desktop environment that borrows from NeXTSTEP, and is more than worth looking at.

His installation is based on CentOS 7, and if you want to try it out, you will surely also like Gaël Elégoët's fantastic icons

Actually worth a completely separate article, but ... you know ... too much bla bla. 😜
