The desktop linuxes I've used would be my daily OS if it weren't for the edges. Not necessarily as sharp now as when you could break a CRT with the wrong modeline, but still bad relative to the alternative (for me macOS). I mean things like fonts, copy/paste, screen resolution, kerning, cursor acceleration, bounding boxes, full screen support, sound (and I primarily know what I'm doing with Linux Sound since the OSS days.). It's the churn that keeps the GUI tantalizing close but distant. There are happy kde and gnome users out there, heck I'm on KDE right now typing this, but all those other victories had a unity of involved 'stakeholders' (AWS, millions of ISPs, Android, etc) and the focus in desktop OSes is famously nebulous (or at a minimum splintered along multiple axes). Still things like PopOS give me hope for the future. Also I'm a 2 spaces after a period ghost from the late 1900s whose opinion isn't worth much.
