There was at one point an effort to port the entire "Indigo Magic" (i.e including all Motif toolkits etc.) / 4DWM desktop to Linux. It made some progress early on but then it seemed to evaporate into vapourware. The website is still online but doesn't appear to have been updated since ~ 2007: http://5dwm.org

I enjoyed that desktop, but couldn't tolerate those aliased italic fonts today. Hopefully there is a way to have subpixel font rendering.

Trinitron CRTs with the SGI cube at the bottom of the bezel were perfect for these fonts, they did the sub-pixel anti-aliasing beautifully thanks to the wonders of an analog signal with a little bit of interlacing thrown in for good measure. 1280x1024 was big back then.

Didn't late SGIs have those huge 24" 2300 x 1400 CRTs that weighed more than a VW Beetle?

I had one, and yes! They were HEAVY. But, they were awesome too.
