NuTyX 22.12.0 and a return to CDE

About a year ago I decided to revisit the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) to see how the experience held up to my 20 year old memory of running the desktop on Solaris. I ended up installing CDE on Debian. While I did get the aging desktop running, there were some severe limitations, such as the inability to use the mouse to click on icons and menus, and my trial soon came to a close.

The idea of revisiting CDE stayed with me though and, last month while I was tinkering with Arch Linux, I noticed NsCDE is in the Arch User Repository (AUR). NsCDE (the Not So Common Desktop Environment) is a modern implementation of CDE using FVWM minimal window manager. I decided to try installing NsCDE on my Arch system, which already had GNOME and Xfce running on it, to see how the experience held up.
