Linux desktop environments are you usually far ahead of anyone else in terms of actual innovation and not social tricks (like the way iMessage works.)

They’re just usually not as sexy.

Workspaces and virtual desktops where the best for a long time. There’s a lot of very impressive stuff the KDE people do, I don’t use it because personally I prefer a ver very simple DE.

Bring sexy, aka user friendly, is a large part of an OS in terms of GUI.

User friendliness and sexiness are different enough that I would actually consider them orthogonal.

The "way iMessage works" is not a "social trick". End-to-end encryption, reliability, multimedia features, and a commitment to user privacy are not "social tricks".
