You’re forgettin literally all the versions of unix that existed at that time, solaris being prominent, but ibm had their own version, and so did many other companies, all of these ram x11 desktops, win95 was much farther from being the only option than windows 10 was before windows 11

Linux absolutely had a GUI. It ran X just fine. I know because it was my desktop at the time.

And you had to write your own modeline

Indeed you did. Linux was more fun back then.

…no thanks. I would take atleast LXQt or dwm as minimum baseline today.
