This is what the Linux ecosystem needs, shout out to Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Solus and bunch of others.
The communities are spending too much work on creating their own DEs instead of fixing the nitty-gritty bugs and issues.
This is what I call progress towards making the Linux desktop a more polished experience, it adds up over time.
Ubuntu did improve the desktop experience until they caught up with their own DE and the DE development bound too many resources, so the progress slowed down and improvements didn't propagate throughout the Linux ecosystem as easily because of their unique DE.
Then Linux Mint took over from 2011 onwards until 2015 or so until they also started their own DE as well as maintaining forks of all the Gnome apps (XApps).
Solus took over from 2017 and Solus 4 is way over-due to release because they are working too much duplicating efforts with their own package management systems and their own software center instead of improving battery life or fixing things like these.
