I’m in an interesting scenario because I actually use a Linux desktop at work (working on Linux platform devices so having your desktop be able to run buildroot and/or the software directly is useful and IT likes Ubuntu) and it’s honestly a very good OOB experience as is atm, the main changes I would make for casual users would be fleshing out the store more and removing reliance on snaps, apt auto installing snaps has caused me way more problems than it has solved and while I think snap is fine it shouldn’t do things unless I try to use it directly because it doesn’t play very nicely with apt. Also I think you’re overestimating how much people actually want bold changes, we’re using Ubuntu 20.04 because 22.04 changed too many things and many packages we use don’t work.
