Well, I was half right… Eventually, it is from the 70’s (Feb 1970) and it’s a power distribution control center!
Wow, I did not know CERN was actually founded in 1954!
Amazing photo :clap:

Maybe you could do also something with a tiling window manager? :slight_smile:

I don’t think so :slight_smile:
I’m not a fan of tiling window managers at all.

I work a lot on the command line, usually with many terminals, and I definitely prefer Terminator.

I like it simple. Always liked KDE based Apps I don’t know give me the macOS vibes alongside with Openbox It’s just perfect!
So basically I’m using KDE enviroment, If it cause problem with showing icons in Dolphin File Manager for example add

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct

to /etc/environment

Also like the following icon set which further enhance the macOS vibes OS Catalina Iconset

And finally, Old school Apple font smoothing fonts.conf which I have stored from back in the days of Crunchbang to whomever remember, here the local.conf for anyone interested:
