To be clear, it's not about how it looks or acts - I flip between emacs and visual studio and they are utterly different for example - I need an interface that

a) isn't buggy and

b) is designed by people who understand a GUI isn't an end in itself but a means for someone to get their work done.

I need both and gnome... wasn't it.

XFCE ist really nice. It comes with different presets and can be made to cater to ones preferences rather easily.

It is the default of xubuntu, which imho is a good first desktop linux, mostly because of the extensive documentation and tutorials for it.

There is also Linux Mint XFCE. I prefer this because *ubuntu isn't focused on the desktop any more and Mint is. Also, Snaps are annoying and he repo is controlled by Canonical. Mint doesn't have Snaps unless you want them.
