The closest I have seen to creating a good experience was Ubuntu Unity.

I noticed it being used in universities, and in the office I used to work at.

I'm disappointed that the Unity project wasn't taken forward, and it seems to me that Gnome just reimplemented it, but missed many best parts of the original.

Unity is still maintained and Canonical recently made Ubuntu Unity an official Ubuntu flavor.

I get motion sickness from headsets, so that will involve vomit all over my work area, constantly.
