None of them. But GNU does not have this either. For awhile GNOME was part of the GNU project, but isn't now, and even when it was, X was not a GNU project.

GNU has this random assemblage of packages:
https://www.gnu.org/software/software.html https://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
So add the Hurd to that, along with an actual distribution mechanism (not a trivial task), and what you get is something like a BSD.
- satiric 3y agoAh OK, I stand corrected. Looks like my pipe dream of getting a Unix derivative as unified as Windows stays unattainable then (although KDE Neon was pretty good last time I tried it, from a Settings point of view anyway)
- massysett 3y agoOh, not at all unattainable - a Unix derivative as unified as Windows is macOS. I've got a terminal and an Emacs running on my Mac right now. But a free software one? No - that's the point of this article: the free software desktop users aren't willing to put up the resources it would take to develop what you're seeking.
