Just give up now, KDE Neon will be the one to bring about the Year of the Linux Desktop.

Gnome is ok, but there is much room and little hope for improvement.
They got vsync, dynamic workspaces, search in menu and nautilus right,
but the top panel could be much much better, also the notification area (or tray i don't know how they call it) should just be moved to right top, as an expandable icon.
More things that are wrong:
>mutter should allow corner snapping
>the left top "hot corner" should be just window/workspace view, there should be just a simple search menu as click able/shortcut, something like whisker would be sufficient imo.
>user should be able to easily change the top bar size with gnome-tweak-tool or in gnome-settings
>acceleration profile should be flat by default, changegable in mouse settings not gnome-tweak-tool
>top bar should have global menu like unity ,not this weird icon-button, or the application tray, you really shouldn't need to click something for access to either of those.
>the alt-tab switcher should be not-grouped miniatures with icons by default. I don't know anyone sane who would like it the way it is and i don't wanna know such people.

*search in nautilus right, nautilus itself is pretty horrible and slow, but lets say it works.
Oh and by the way i forgot:
>Fix the fucking icon layout on desktop, like holy fuck what is this atrocity in 2016, pcmanfm does this milions time better.

Another solus shill. This is the next-level shilling adopted by solusfags. They name-drop solus or budgie while listing other Linux distributions or DEs to give solus/budgie legitimacy and make it appear as a popular distro.

Another example of shilling would be:
>Ubuntu is really the best distro, I don't know why people bother with Arch, Solus, Debian, Fedora or any of the others.

Please ignore solus shilling threads.

desu the more shit solus threads i see the more i want retards to get memed into using it. The same way it was with elementary and mint.

>the more i want retards to get memed into using it
why? so we could have more solus threads?

>>57545675
Why do you care if you can just filter those. Anon don't tell me you want retards using Your Distro Of Choice™ if they can't choose it on their own but need some kevin shilling.

you can do all of that with 1 minute of customization, which requires no scripting or other knowledge beyond pointing and clicking

Cinnamon is the only answer.

>>57545785
Its really the one minute of customization you just shouldn't do. Its the same with mouse settings, grouping by default in the switcher, things that anyone sane will hate out of the box. Im not saying that "waah its not that way on muh windooze and I'm too much of a crybaby to fix it myself" but really if you force something different than every other Linux DE on people you should just make it super one-clicky to change, not making people download extensions. Especially if those are super minor changes.

Cinnamon has something about it i can't quite put my finger on. I like the menus , i like the configuration, I like the shortcuts and the interface ,yet i dislike cinnamon ,and it does not feel familiar no matter how long i use it, while gnome, unity or xfce ,even kde feels familiar after 2-3 days.
