My first hoorah with window managers were twm and fvwm and those came out well before 99.

To-BOO-as HELL-gren (thanius@mastodon.chuggybumba.com)'s status on Saturday, 17-Aug-2024 02:57:35 JST To-BOO-as HELL-gren Still today I'm not really a fan of KDE, but I've always thought that CDE was cool (cool enough that I tried to replicate the dock with fvwm2 later.)
Today I'm a GNOME man through and through -

Leif Samuelsson 🇪🇺🇺🇳☮️ (leffe@social.linux.pizza)'s status on Saturday, 17-Aug-2024 02:57:36 JST Leif Samuelsson 🇪🇺🇺🇳☮️ Right. I was so entrenched in Solaris, working at Sun, that I didn't get into Linux until later. We used CDE until about that time, when we started switching over to GNOME.
CDE (based on Motif) was a step down from OpenWindows, but GNOME eventually got to be pretty good. I've never tried KDE.
