Never underestimate the lack of imagination in the Linux-desktop world.

  Agreed. Years and years of objectively bad UX and UI with the likes of GNOME, KDE, etc. I cannot understand why the organisations creating Linux distros have never at any point thought to hire a designer or two so their desktop apps don’t look like someone just slapped them onto a window with either far too much padding (even more than HN loves to complain about the web) or not enough so usability is harder.

    The issue is likely getting the people working for free to listen to a designer

      I think the problem is that they listened too much to designers.

        No they really didn’t. No designer is making UIs that don’t align, are full of inconsistencies, and have confusing UX.
