Miscellaneous Operating Systems/Hardware

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to announce the upcoming new version of MaXX Interactive Desktop dubbed MaXX Spring 2016 Edition

The release will be divided into two parts; Legacy and Modern.
- Legacy will be based on motif-2.1.32 and will include; 5Dwm, toolchest, mxterm, openinventor, performer, and a bunch of cool toys.
- Modern will be based on motif-2.3.4 and Qt5 and will include new versions of 5Dwn, toolchest, desktop-apps, config-apps, fm, openinventor, performer and some cool toys *sgi style.

What would you like to see in MaXX?

Thank you for your support

Eric

Not sure how out of step I am with what Maxx currently (or recently) offers, but I remember trying to install a version of it on an older Ubuntu build I had. From what I remember it went mostly smoothly but it didn't seem to offer multiple desktops (the stock Ubuntu set-up did). Maybe I just didn't notice where the settings were? Also, I think it would be cool (assuming Ubuntu) if installing software from the repositories would automatically add the launcher in the Toolchest somewhere (where it would be appropriate, I suppose), if it doesn't do that already. From what I remember the older version of Maxx I tried had xterm windows and a console window (which displayed error messages from programs launched from the Toolchest instead of the command line), that is something I wish Linux had by default.

Now this are great news!

If I saw some kinde of donation-button, I would be encouraged to donate

Please consider possibility of adding tiling support! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager Static or better dynamic.
Stacking (floating) is not always comfortable for work in modern age
Thanks.

Hi.

Because i like SBCs like Raspberrys and so on, i'd like to ask if it would be possible to get an ARM Version?
