I don't know if the splintering is that big a deal. For nearly everybody Ubuntu for personal use, rhel for enterprise right?

Ubuntu you just use gnome, and I've don't think I've ever actually seen redhat (or any centos) attached to a desktop environment.

Been using Ubuntu for 15+ years and never used gnome. I always install xfce4 (which has basic tiling), Plank and a few other little gadgets. It stays so much out of my way that I basically don't even notice I'm using it. I tried one or two other distros but generally come back to Ubuntu because it hits the sweet spot of modernity and stability.

Red-Hat moved away from desktop, because they were the first to realise there is no money on Linux Desktop.
