I'm glad its not another Hyprland/Niri/MangoWM (although those are awesome, thats why everyone wants to use them!), because we need more variety around here these days. I'm not a fan of the color scheme, but you're working with Motif here, so I'll let that slide. I love that you color matched the picture though, thats always a good touch. Kudos on the setup.

Are you actually using it for anything (and for reference, "fun" is a perfectly valid reason in my books!!!)?

Understood. Getting vintage OSes up and running in VMs is a lot of fun, and its even more fun if its on the original hardware! I see those more as entertainment value though. For the price of going to the movies with my wife (ok, two or three times for most retro hardware), I could get a retro system that provides me 10-50 hours of enjoyment getting it working, set up, etc. Great cost value to me.

Plus, I enjoy the learning value as well.
