Is it just me that's a bit disappointed with the rate of change of desktop linux? Particularly the UI side of things? I feel like desktop linux is way behind Mac and even Windows in so many ways. Would love to see modern stripped back kde/gnome alternative: less kitchen sink applications, minimalist power user friendly design sense, 1st class tiling window management, keyboard friendly workflow etc.
