I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that the News tab in Nautilus from GNOME 1.4 (released in 2001) still shows current @lwn headlines/lwn.net still support whatever API/feed it's using.

#GNOME #Linux #RetroComputing

A screenshot of the LWN.net home page taken 02 Sep 2025. The headlines are:

- GNOME loses another executive director
- [$] The future of 32-bit support in the kernel
- Kernel prepatch 6.17-rc4
- Bcachefs goes to "externally maintained"
- [$] The challenge of maintaining curl

These match those shown in the GNOME 1.4 virtual machine.
A screenshot of the GNOME 1.4 desktop running in QEMU. There is a 'Start Here' Nautilus (the file manager) window open. The window has a side bar with several tabs to choose from. News is selected and shows:

Don't forget to play a Fifteen game in your gnome-panel, for nostalgia!

(I'd love a screenshot of that, if you can)

@federicomena In case you want to play with the GNOME 1.4 VM yourself:
