: If by "GUI" you mean a windowing system, and by "standard" you mean

I was using X10R4 on a Sun3/50 in 1987 or so. I more commonly used
sunview in a similar time frame. Sunview/OpenWindows has been
standard on Sun machines since that time. It was surprising snappy
for a 50MHz 68k machine, so long as you didn't swap, but I digress.
There were similar offerings from DEC and I think HP in approximately
the same time frame.
It depends on what you mean by GUI I guess :-)
