It's me again, probably more calmly unhinged.
Fandom-drifter, great interest in anything that can turn into a puzzle, #Multics, #UNIX, #CP_M are the OS families i deal with.
By default, YouTube's Ai summery is always turned on, and it always has the chance to be very wrong…

Also heard the Steam Machine had replaceable RAM.

Once; somebody put a Amiga 500 into a SX-64 chassis, i think that would benefit from a widescreen CRT if there was one at the time.

Found two images and made a (as much as possible) High-Rez image that showcases the case type of a very rare line of computers:

Decided to post this if anyone else knows what it is:

I've been trying to figure out a way to create a replica of the Domain keyboards for a while now. Still thinking on what microcontroller to use.

The keyboards were designed way before mice became common, so the entire left-side is cursor control keys.

Also earlier versions had trackpads.

As when i get a clear enough keyboard photo of a extinct unix system, i make a vector recreation of it.
Today was no different with the #TorchTripleX #Unix workstion from the UK.

Decided to make a 1990 #Macintosh #System7 | #Apple2 GS/OS Inspired box art for a non-existent system of #apple.

And lately thanks to www.unix-haters.org, I found out how the horizontal scrollbars are supposed to look like In IRIX 3X (From 4X).

Now i had a closer look at the keyboard, and appearance-wise it's almost like a baby version of the Sun/3 keyboards.
Also i made a vector recreation of the #mindset KBD:

Made a another piece of concept art that's somewhat not to scale:
An modern reinterpretation of the #Atari Portfolio, not sure of what the final SOC would be; has a trackpoint-like nub, touchscreen, and a 360º hinge. Thinking the OS would be a spin of #CentOS stream as this is a "enterprise" device.

Finally got borders to work, just need to figure out what to do with the taskbar and fonts.

Lately i've made a mockup theme meant to replace #nimbus in the #illumos distros (mainly #OpenIndiana). With the recent experience creating the 4sight semi-replica theme, i might create the shown #Jazpar theme down the road in the future for the more commonly used themeable x11 WM's.

#9Front has the terrible look, and also it has the appearance from a alternate timeline of where somehow nobody wanted to copy Apple in the Ui department.

And it originates from a successor OS to #UNIX created by said creators of UNIX.

About the only real blocker for me is that the border pixmaps won't show:

Ah, found another of the IRIX 3X screenshots that don't have all that horrible .gif artifacts in the image:

Made a "as close to the limits of xfwm4 and myself" wm theme that emulates the look of the #4sight windowing system of #IRIX 3x.

Never knew that RCA had a sequel to the RCA VP 3000, also looking up on the VP4801 i found a (Later?) variant under the name of cardinal CP600.
