My experience does not match your assertions. The Linux desktop has never been more accessible. My mother in law has been happily running manjaro with gnome for a while. Now, truth to be told, she was navigating gnome 2 Ubuntu more than a decade ago but things were mostly not working back then. Upgrading versions was a minefield with mostly terrible results. Maybe the state of things suited you better somehow. I just can't imagine how.
