Where exactly are we at with 68k Unicies/ alternate operating systems?

I've been planning to put together a late model 68K Mac system, using a "newer" operating system than System 8.  However, as I'm planning, I'm having a hard time finding one that has a usable GUI.  As far as I can tell, NetBSD has a greyscale X windows set-up, and I honestly can't tell where we are with Linux.  All screenshots that I can find are command line.   I guess I'm a little surprised.  I remember linux on my 486 seemed more developed in the late 90's.  What is the status of operating systems for 68030 /68040?

If you have the time to try and find out, it would be good to share the results here for others.
