I’m looking for a distro to contribute to finally make 'year of Linux desktop, to happen. For me, I see that as full UI/UX behaviour that behaves almost identical to Windows/Mac (eg no middle click to paste).

Which distro comes closest to it?

    Many of which don’t even have a CLI command.

    Anything that can’t yet be done in a terminal, someone will eventually figure out how to do with a CLI or at most a TUI. Because terminal junkies are weird and because Linux lets you do that kind of thing more than any other OS does.

      The terminal is not a good way to interact with visual tasks such as drawing, 3D modelling, and working on complex schematics or where things don’t have names. Especially where the typical type of user is a visual, not a text thinker. Its not efficient to leave your working environment to go to the terminal and back either. And text thinkers are often not good at those visual tasks. So I’m not expecting terminal commands to appear in areas where I spend much of my time. I, like many, are not in IT.

        Yes, that does track. I do not like terminals regardless of the task, I’m very much a visual type with anything Computer. I’m just saying, terminal junkies will do stupidly inconvenient things just to have done the thing in a terminal.
