+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted May 18, 2014 Subscriber² Share Posted May 18, 2014 Inspired by a screenshot on the 'Why Linux is better' website from macstar's sig I decided to see if Window Maker is still in the Fedora repos. As you can see it still is, and still looks pretty much like it did in 1998.

Oh yeah, as a bonus Apple got Steve Jobs back by acquiring NeXT.
