Aren't they all free? I think that's why they are all below the usability threshold for most us. I used to use Ubuntu, but got tried of having to configure basic shit (e.g. dual monitors), always look up how to install stuff and getting the answer "just copy this code into your terminal to get this package and install" (as you say, "go add some random repo"). Updates to software didn't happen all that smoothly. It was just really rough around the edges. I would have been happy to pay a company 5-10 USD per month to smooth out those edges for me.

Look at http://ubuntubudgie.org http://ubuntubudgie.org and my http://sorun.me http://sorun.me script. I am working on smoothing out those "edges". I am also working on betterScale to yea.. fix the difficult hidpi monitor and multi-monitor w/ mixed lo & hidpi monitor situation. (at least on x11) https://github.com/rbreaves/betterScale https://github.com/rbreaves/betterScale I am pretty impressed with what all is out there to create a really bang up OS on Linux these days - also impressed with how little development time has been spent on actually polishing up all the amazing things they have actually built. All of the ingredients are there, but there's been no real chef in the kitchen to put it all together imo.
