That really depends on the distro. It sounds like you're also talking about how Linux was 10 years ago. I've run Mint for the past decade and I personally consider it a fully featured OS which does everything I need it to do. I admit there is some inconsistency in GUIs depending of the software which you use, though that is simply the nature of the beast. The reason Mac is so consistent is simply due to the fact that you're in a walled garden which Apple fully controls.
