The original fvwm was my first window manager in Linux back in 1995, I was not a fan of the evolution into fvwm-95, though.

By then I was already into other window managers.





IIRC fvwm95 was not meant as a next-gen fvwm, but as a customization of the existing fvwm desktop.

Nevertheless, I never got the point to use another platform to look just like Windows 95, Mac, Amiga or whatever.

While you may get the Look, you will never get the Feel.

Perhaps for many of us this is exactly as intended. The look of W95 or something else, the feel (and power) of Unix.


I liked window maker and enlightenment, both of a which appeared a bit later.

I only used Enlightenment for a while, now AfterStep/Windowmaker were my favourite window managers.
