I still have a copy of Solaris for x86 somewhere, I liked it because it had a nice window manager before Linux and I hold onto the disk out of nostalgia
CDE had the advantage of being useful with a default config, at a time when most window managers required HUGE amounts of fiddling to get a nice environment.
Yeah, the first time I saw CDE was doing AIX for PPC admin and I thought it was nice so went and got the student edition of Solaris for something like €7.50, lol
IIRC at the time CDE for Linux was available for about €50, which was a lot of money back then!
Unfortunately I had approximately zero apps for Solaris, so apart from playing with the OS I got no actual use out of it.
