Hate to be the pedant but isn't CDE both available on Linux and older?

Not to detract from XFCE at all, my first love

XFCE dates to February 1997.

CDE as a Linux desktop dates to June 1997, with the release of the proprietary TriTeal CDE for RedHat.

Ah, fair - can't count it as a Linux desktop when living elsewhere

It's an interesting distinction I suppose. CDE has served longer as a desktop, just not for Linux
