"Linux" in 2019 refers to such a broad array of software that it's almost meaningless when talking about a specific experience. It's annoying to do, but trying some different distros and guis is well worth the time. There are plenty of people who self identify as full time linux users who cant stand to use each others computers, so there isn't any kind of consensus about what a good linux experience is because people are often trying to get very different things done. Personally i thing gnome 3 is utter garbage, and poisons people against the whole ecosystem because it's usually what people try first because the screenshots look shiny. You might have a better time with mate or something similar.
