Linux absolutely had a GUI. It ran X just fine. I know because it was my desktop at the time.
And you had to write your own modeline
Indeed you did. Linux was more fun back then.
You're forgettin literally all the versions of unix that existed at that time, solaris being prominent, but ibm had their own version, and so did many other companies, all of these ram x11 desktops, win95 was much farther from being the only option than windows 10 was before windows 11
