X-Windows was perfectly usable. Even apps like GIMP worked.
Debian/68k is available now but it's probably outdated.
68k is still supported in the mainstream kernel. A guy called Geert Uytterhoeven keeps the fire burning!

Yes, Geert was also behind lots of the stuff back in the 90's. I too assembled my installation from bits from here and there - compiling a kernel took like a whole day or something..
I remember trying the "Lightning" window manager on the Amiga - slow as hell. On the other hand, I used 'AmiWM' as window manager on the Sun workstations at the university, which ran really well
