Probably SunView, that's the first one I saw. It was
SunView
OpenLook (SunView ported to X11)
CDE
NeWS
I used either straight X11 or OpenLook but replacing the window manager
with twm and then ctwm. Did the same thing at SGI, I hated all the
fancy desktops each vendor did. In the days of 4MB or 8MB or even
32MB desktops, all that "fancy" used memory that I needed for actual
real work, like building the kernel. Straight X11 with a simple window
manager gave me a lot of memory back.
I viewed that fancy stuff as stuff for people who didn't do real work.
A bit of a snob, I was :-)
