Hello from MaXX Interactive Desktop on Linux

[maxxdesktop]

Hello fellow SGI'er My name is Eric Masson and I am the creator of MaXX Interactive Desktop on Linux. I would like to use this opportunity to say hi and introduce myself. I am glad to join your community and share my passion with you all. In also here to answer questions you may have on MaXX Desktop and I welcome feedback (of course).

We are currently working on version 2.1 (Xmas edition), a possible FreeBSD demo for x86_64 and other exciting software that we hope will get people excited.

In case you are curious about giving a try... Here are some useful links about installers, docs and our Slack.

Finally, here a quick screenshot of MaXX Desktop running in modern look and feel with anti-aliased fonts and utf-8 support. I have included both classic and modern gr_osview to showcase how we see the new integrated look for our new MaXX Monitor suite (based on Performance Co-Pilot). Remember this is still an early preview

Cheers

Hello and welcome!

The screenshot looks great, and I would definitely be interested in the FreeBSD demo

This is awesome. I love Motif in general and this sure beats CDE imho. It's great to be able to get a consistent UI across my various systems, and MAXX helps me achieve this on my modern *nix boxes.

Anyone still using it? Is it reliable? On the HP there were no updates in frontpage for several years…
It looks really cool but is it that much better than fvwm-sgi?
