> Linux is nice, but it would be nicer to have a UX focused product I feel like this is being over-used at this point. Modern gnome works fine.

GNOME is garbage made by people who really really wish they were working on tablet UIs but weren't good enough to work for Apple or Google. They repeatedly show disdain for the user base and their product is nigh unusable without extensions they provide no guarantee will continue working version to version.

  I guess it doesn't work for you. I have no problems with it. In fact, I vastly prefer it to both Windows and OSX. For me, I like the simplicity. I don't need any extensions. I don't have to hunt around for settings in ten different places with different user interfaces (windows, I'm looking at you). I have never got on with the window management in OSX, but some clearly prefer it. I guess KDE is what people who want everything to be customisable out of the box should use, but I haven't tried that in years.

What if I don't want modern UIs and want to go back the old days of spinning skull gifs and flames?

I disagree. I have been using Kubuntu and Fedora at work. Fedora supposedly is amazing because always ahead, and I would, except that I'm terrified of upgrading because every time I do, gnome breaks plugins. Gnome without plugins is not usable from my perspective (system tray), which essentially managed to create this horrible situation where I have to delay upgrading for 6 months to be on the safe side. Kubuntu on the other side, is ubuntu. Canonical messed up badly with Pro, so I'm looking for alternatives. That's when I realized that my only problem with Fedora IS GNOME. Next time, I'm sticking to KDE, I don't care what the most common one is, KDE seems to be more stable and that's important to me. And the window manager is way more flexibility for heavy multidesktop users...
