From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I get it, it would rather see development time spent in having desktop icons (disabled by default) and always visible dash like macOS.
Other more important features would be a system-wide way to control the border radius of everything and frankly some kind of decent font rendering that didn't include a blur of 100px around every letter.
Having desktop icons is not a matter of development time but of GNOME disagreeing with the idea, as is an always visible dash.
