That first os screenshot made my heart sink; a reminder of how far we've fallen.

How I wish our operating systems still looked like this. Utilitarian, useful. No rounded corners and bubbly icons, reducing the useful space more and more each year.

The incredible quality of Mac hardware is the only thing keeping me from jumping to a thinkpad / omarchy setup.

I love macOS, but definitely do miss the days of a more utilitarian look. The old Unix GUIs like CDE hold a special place in my heart.
