Yep. Sadly a more and more pervasive idea among software developers and especially interface designers though.
Recently I've been testing the waters of Linux Desktop more than usual because I can foresee a day in the near future where Microsoft has fucked up Windows to the point that it is the lesser piece-of-shit. So far, I'm finding Fedora Silverblue to be pretty good at giving me the kind of system I want, but it of course uses GNOME. It feels like it desperately wants to be a running on a phone and I have to install extensions just to make it bearable. And don't get me started on how useless GNOME Software is.
I tried Kinoite first, of course, because KDE doesn't despise its own userbase, but sadly it had too many problems. I suppose I could just install KDE on top of Silverblue though.
Edit: Apparently there was a miscommunication. I am not looking for DE or distro suggestions.
