I was just referring to the current state of affairs.
Of course, one can beat MacOS at its polished GUI game. But it requires coordination. A single distro can do it. I expected Ubuntu to follow this path.
With so much fragmentation it's not easy though. X11 vs Wayland, GNOME vs KDE, a myriad of desktop systems, etc.
However, fragmentation comes from the bazaar model that makes Linux so resilient. I would never trade this for a bit of polish.
Also, as a programmer, I prefer simple CLI applications that compose well than GUI silos. That's why the current situation does not bother me much.
