My point is that I feel all desktop #UXs have pretty much stagnated
I'd argue its worse than that, and the average desktop experience is degrading pretty hard. Looking at things like #GNOME for an extreme case, but it's certainly not alone in its mission to make desktop computers a true pain to use.
On GNU+#Linux you at least have other options, which is where you at least can get a proper tiling window manager. One could very easily argue that tiling WM design has stagnated too, but its also a very simple paradigm which seems to Just Work. There's less need to innovate on a system that already works great.
That said, I think desktop UX "stagnation" is not just a software problem. The latest improvement I've made on my setup is a hardware one, specifically a QMK keyboard that I can program to work nicer for my particular workflow. Its been one of the better improvements I've made, but in my experience the average person is hesitant because its not a "normal" keyboard, and are afraid it won't be supported by their particular environment, or not be available wherever they need to perform their computing work. I can somewhat understand this, but this also leads to everything and everyone continuing in this mindset of only supporting a "normal" mouse and keyboard setup, even though there are many cases where this is not an optimal means of input.
Personally I would like to find a good (free software based) system to use my voice and my eye movements as input methods to control certain aspects, but I've not found anything that's stable enough and affordable enough to make it worth to play around with. -

I don't think there is a substantial difference in #UX between #MacOS and #Win11. There are lots of visual 'skinning' tweaks but the basic structural model of files/folders/2d windowing/invisible clipboard feels pretty baked at this point.
Are there any #Linux distros that break the mold? Shake things up a bit?
My point is that I feel *all* desktop #UXs have pretty much stagnated and no one is really trying anything different. I'd LOVE to hear of any crazy experiments.
