As someone that has used Linux for 20+ years that is not my experience. Rather the UI experience goes in waves. Sometimes it's easier and sometimes it's more difficult. There were polished desktops even before Ubuntu existed. Everything is in constant motion, as paradigms come and go, and new hardware needs new drivers. Usually the worst experience is right between paradigms, where you need to use some things from the old way and other things from the new way.
