It's not _functionally_ problematic, just aesthetically. Mostly it's just that I never go a full day without performing some kind of maintenance on my Linux desktop environment to try to get it looking right, and it never looks right. I also run multiple monitors, so that aspect tends to throw in some extra jank. At this point, running Gnome completely unmodified has been the most success I have had - but even Gnome 40 has some questionable design decisions. Windows is a poor example of polish but I feel there's a lot we can learn from by looking at MacOS's desktop environment. Having used each for significant amounts of time (years) and currently living on Windows, MacOS really takes the prize for the "nicest place to live but worst landlord".
