I've been a pretty big Snap fan ever since hearing they fixed the forced updates issue. I still wish they had an open backend, but I think traditional package management just is not a good fit for complex third party apps that need to be up to date without breaking. It's kind of an unreasonable expectation, but Snaps(And presumably Flatpak and NixOS, if they were as popular) meet it pretty well anyway. I'd prefer GNOME stick a little closer to the traditional desktop metaphor, but they've gotten a lot closer and more mouse friendly, and burn-my-windows is nice. I probably wouldn't have designed a DE like that... but it seems to be "The standard Linux DE" and it seems to be extremely reliable, although that might just be because it's the first Wayland DE I've ever used. I did always like KDE, but the older versions always seemed very slightly unpolished with something just a few pixels off from where you might think it should be, and things like that, and Ubuntus never really did seem to fully work quite right on customized DEs, without lots of work.
