CDE was developed about 20 years ago as a unified desktop environment for all the various forms of commercial, proprietary Unix that dominated the workstation market back then: IBM's AIX, Digital’s Tru64, HP's HP-UX, Sun's Solaris, Silicon Graphics' IRIX and on x86 hardware, SCO's UnixWare. DEC even ported it to OpenVMS, which isn't a Unix at all, and in Linux's youth there was an $80 commercial version for Red Hat Linux 4.

You didn't miss much as far as Linux goes.

Back then everybody that had a computer ran Windows on it. Only a very small circle of people used anything else and they were mostly Macintosh users. Even smaller was the Unix/Linux user base. Way too much attention was given to Windows by the devs and the other OSes like Mac OS, the Linux distros, BeOS, NeXTSTEP, OS/2 and many others were cast aside (many of which died from lack of support).

If you want to feel what it was like to have a computer in the 90s get an old PowerBook or ThinkPad and use it for a month. You will then appreciate things like protected memory!
