Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Saturday, 17 April 2021 is ROX Desktop.
The ROX Desktop is a graphical desktop environment for the X Window System. It is based on the ROX-Filer which is a drag and drop spatial file manager. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. The environment was inspired by the user interface of RISC OS (not to be confused with RISC/os). The name "ROX" comes from "RISC OS on X". Programs can be installed or removed easily using Zero Install.
The project was started by Thomas Leonard as a student at University of Southampton in 1999 and was still led by him in 2012.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:44 UTC on Saturday, 17 April 2021.
