Is Motif actually available on modern Linux systems? And is there a Windows port as well?

I find it difficult to believe that Motif is actually that portable.

Web apps are only as portable as the browser features they use, and the browsers available for the platform. A primarily backend-rendered app, with minimal Javascript is much more portable than the average SPA app.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/openmoti... lists as being updated 2020-01-05, and https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/SupportedPlatform... claims that CDE supports a rather lot of platforms (which implies motif), although I'll grant that most of those probably haven't been tested in a while.
