I think there is definitely a demand for a beautiful Linux desktop system, but it would be a tough ask.

A few open source projects have had success with the crowdfunding model, when something non-trivial is in demand. If there is a possibility to get someone with a history of stunning design and UX on board, I could see a ton of money being donated for that persons time to build a rival desktop system.

I have differend position. As designer is extremely hard to help on open souce. And i know many designers who think the same. Usualy it ends up with nice logo. Ux - every dev wants to do on its own.
