From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

its not bad per se, i feel like it lacks attention to detail and more ux people on the team.
dialogues and DE utilities look inconsistent to eachother. spacing and sizes of things, including icons and fonts look not that well tought out, making the whole thing feel off, kind of cheap or amateurish.
this might have changed since i gave it a real try but it lacks many small qol features like disabling some indicators i dont use and other assorted small stuff many othet des implement.
i find this type of stuff is common among smaller des
You should try 10.8, slap Ubuntubudgie.org on a usb and give it a shot. Or way a month or so for 10.9 which supports Wayland. They have a lot of what you mentioned now.
What do you use atm?
I settled for vanilla Ubuntu many centuries ago and liked it enough to stick with it. Been feeling like trying other stuff again just to see how things have been developing, hence my interest. Get that slightly greener grass under my feet for a lil bit.
So long as its something reasonably mature that won't get in my way. I'm inclined to try Budgie again. Plasma 6, Cosmic and a couple of others are looking nice too.
There are so many to choose from. It’s a good and bad thing haha
I for one love having that much choice.
