Cool! I have to admit to having missed those days, I didn't get in on the game until Gnome2/KDE3, Are Window Maker and NeXT OS fairly similar?
Yes. Window Maker emulates the look and feel of NeXTSTEP. I think what attracted me to this desktop was it didn't look like your typical FVWM, KDE, Gnome desktops I was using at the time.
AfterStep was another desktop (similar to the look of Window Maker) I liked to tinker with.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

id like to mention on this topic, window maker is also blazing fast and at least the window manager is dexterously customizable (if not so much the dock-like panels). its a top choice for sure
I updated to newest Cinnamon from LMDE repo. Just like KDE, Cinnamon is pretty "finished". There isn't really anything to add that can't already be accomplished with extensions. So it's mostly Wayland fixes from here on. The Wayland session wasn't very usable, at least not in VBox.
Note to self and others: SysVinit is a good option. However if you run into problems try with systemd first. This applies to AppImages, Flatpaks, GitHub packages and even some Debian packages.
We recently watched The Matrix again after many years and it made me want to try a wall of CRT monitors idea but not exactly like the wonderfully shot drab greens in The Matrix so I GIMP'd this and then added a monochrome Conky with Terminus(TTF) font in one of the monitors, shown in Enlightenment on AV Linux MX Edition 23:

+1 That's pretty clever.
