That Wikipedia article needs a better screenshot. Otherwise, very interesting. And DESQview/X was X Window System on DOS with pre-emptive multitasking, wow.

xfm from the first Slackware print, I really liked that file manager. But these days it fails to work. I tied many years ago to get it work but failed :(

All of them look much, much better than Windows 10, Windows 11, Android or iOS although all run on less powerfull hardware.

But using only one level of library to draw on the screen "is so lame'. /s
