| Debian 12 "bookworm" and I'm still using Motif. Shown are the contents of the .xinitrc and .Xresources files. |
Looking back through time, I'm finding Linux has served me well all these years. Sometimes there's the need to use other operating systems; that's what VirtualBox is for. Debian continues to be the workhorse in my life.
Motif is one of those ghosts from Unix that is still an amazing window manager. But if you don't want just one window manager, a display manager like LightDM can facilitate this. For practical work, I use Xfce (which has a Motif theme available for download), as well as a desktop, file manager, and system settings controls.
Another top-notch environment is the Raspberry Pi OS (which uses Debian) using a very professional looking theme for LXDE and the PCMan file manager. It's the closest I've come to Macintosh System 7. When they come out with a 64-bit version, I'll be there to try it.
