nixCraft 🐧Somebody compiled KDE version 1 on Debian #Linux 13. It is a miracle that you can even able to compile it. Source https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/1buqeeo/kde_112_kde_1_compiled_on_debian_13_trixie/ #opensource
Yaksh Bariya@nixCraft Would be interested in seeing the patches they made both to Qt, and KDE itself. Its likely that the patches and compiler flags they used were very verg hacky. :P

@CodingThunder did KDE even use Qt back then? 🤔
Florian Heidenreich@ozone89 @CodingThunder Yes, it also was Qt 1
Seth Brown@nixCraft That was my favourite version of KDE!
After that, I moved to Xfce and more or less stayed with it.
I only use applications in full screen mode anyhow, and I use xfce4-terminal --drop-down bound to Ctrl-` so I always have the terminal close to hand.
Good enough for me! :)
Echedelle ⚧@nixCraft you can use Trinity DE with that appearance though x3
Andreas@nixCraft It is beautiful. 😍
Jürgen Schiewe@nixCraft this long-term API stability in Unix is amazing. I know a vendor that is still selling X/Motif based apps that were started more than 35 years ago. Try this with a Windows apps
mirabilos@nixCraft having compiled KDE 1 on my own distro for a friend back in the very early 2000s I can confirm it’s a wonder
Johannes Leutenegger 🤔@nixCraft That's so ugly, I love it
@nixCraft really loved tinkering with it when it came out — so many memories. Also, KDevelop back then!
Jared Smith@nixCraft @stroughtonsmith This brings back a ton of memories from when I was first experimenting with Linux in high school.

@codemonkeymike @nixCraft I run vintage operating systems all the time, not for productive use, but just to look back at play with. I have an assortment vintage Macs and VirtualBox vms for Windows NT 3.1, 95, 2000. All in good fun.

@nixCraft A proper Desktop Environment for proper Users.
Brick Duck@nixCraft This is when linux UI design peaked. It's all downhill from here.
Where Chuck once stood, only I will remain.now do enlightenment
Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC@nixCraft I really liked that one.
Ørjan Hoyd H. Vøllestad@nixCraft i used knote a lot
SpaceLifeFormC++ is not sufficiently broken and X11 still exists.

Oh wow, so many memories!!
Oh wow, so many memories!!
Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)@nixCraft Damn, that brings back memories.
Light🐧⁂@nixCraft
Incredible it still compiles on a modern distro, trully timeless. 😊
Back when the light themes where nice 😎 and not as bright white to blind me 😜. And there's the really good look litle blue gradient on the top of the terminal window.
I like the good ol' retro look of it. 😍
Koko San@nixCraft Yes, I have done it before. I compiled X11 first, then Qt, then KDE 1.0. It took me a long time, a lot of time.
Maltimore@nixCraft In a way it's shocking just how little it actually changed over the years. All this functionality that they already had back then..
Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮@nixCraft Yet another reason why open source is amazing though right? Stuff *can* live forever
Cenbe@nixCraft I remember it well. Buggy as hell, as I recall.
Ronoaldo Pereira@nixCraft that UI is nostalgic 😀
manchicken moved!@nixCraft I remember KDE 1. That’s what got me hooked.
DeltaLima 🐧
Pawlicker@nixCraft better than kde 6
neopolitan@nixCraft this desktop environment is pretty kool
Wyatt (🏳️⚧️♀?)@nixCraft Is it? - I mean, I have GTK version 1.2 on my debian sid desktop. Compiled it a year or so ago.

@nixCraft This is like running something like MyPal on Windows 2000. Is it necessary? Not really, but it sure is fun!
