I understand this... however, I have limited hours in the day and actual work that pays me to get done. I have limited time as a result to experiment and try any number of desktop environments. I also have limited projects that require windows, and because I needed an ahead of mainline kernel for my hardware, the VM software options wouldn't install. Again, limited time.
I'd much rather not be using windows... this time around, I tried WSL2 and Docker now runs in it as an option. I am surprised it works as well as it does. This means, practically speaking, I can use VS Code against my linux kernel/environment running under windows to do my actual work... Working in Linux, running in Windows.
I also specifically stated I would likely return and give other linux desktop environments a chance. I have two nvme drives in my system, one has windows, the other linux. I didn't even run the windows environment after install for 4+ months, until I needed windows and couldn't get a VM working.
----
I have run ElementaryOS in the past and really liked it, and will probably give Pantheon a try next, without a full reinstall... It's not as good as MacOS' UI/UX, but iirc was pretty nice to use in practice.
