I've been a Ubuntu user for years, but I've just read the Fedora 26 announcement and followed the link through to Gnome 3.24 release notes (https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.24/). The 3rd headlighting major feature of this is "New Recipes Application". One word: Sold! I've been dreaming of the day Linux DE/WM got this core feature!

I think we can safely say 2017 will indeed be the year of Linux desktop, we got there, we've made it! (there is also minor footnotes for niche things like file managers, calendar and gfx config, if that's your thing)

There is a Recipes flatpak as well. So in principle (or perhaps by principle), you can run it in other distributions as well.
