Dude like I'm really over it with operation systems/DEs.
I've used almost everything there is.
Windows is bloated slow and uncustomisable. Mac OS is pretty but also uncustomisable and comes with the apple ecosystem baggage.
KDE Plasma offers great features and deep customisation, but needs a lot of work to make look good, but at that point it's heavy and too many systems are workig together, not to mention it's disorganized by default.
GNOME looks good, but is buggy and lacks customisability. Cinnamon, has similar issues to KDE, and although mint looks ok, its hard to implement hyprland and stuff. And most light DEs like lxde or mate are feature lacking.
In a perfect world, a great DE/OS, in my books, would look like this, but alas I'm not awesome at coding so pretty much no chance at making this kinda thing happen:
Start everything off with a nice base, many options, features and deep customisability, similar to Plasma. Second, the window management would be dual. A flick of a switch would go between hyprland style and standard floating windows.
Currently the closest you can get to that is a Kwin scripts which is super half baked and buggy. Then, give the whole thing the GNOME look, which I find highly modern and clean.
It would also come with a solid software suite and app/gui framework, not GTK or Qt.
And finally round the whole thing off with a fixed 6 month release schedule.
Of course, it's hard to implement all four philosophies.
Simplicity
Customisability
Stability
Visuals
By adding customisability, you remove simplicity and stability.
Anyone share my opinion?
