GEM Desktop, now that's some nostalgia. First GUI I ever used, on an Amstrad PC-1512. Can barely remember it now other than a feeling of "wow", swiftly followed by "but none of my DOS games run on it, meh" :)

It's still around (it was open-sourced a while ago) and OpenGEM is also available as part of FreeDOS: https://www.opendawn.com/opengem/

Oh yeah before Atari ST I remember how GEM was typically only used on the PC to run Ventura Publisher which came with a bundled copy of GEM.
