Really? I just want to use a Linux desktop with minimal setup rather having to learn about all the issues, tech etc to do work. Also, why bother with X11 when there is Wayland these days?

A consistent/standardised desktop for Linux would be beneficial for Linux users since having sane defaults, with minimal configuration on the desktop. This would reduce the burden for devs to support different DE, Window managers with their graphics drivers and optimize on productivity on the same level as macOS and Windows, which ChromeOS does too. Its a shame that the Linux community focuses on having alternatives of alternatives that compete with each other just to achieve the same functionality.
I used to have time to try out many distros, editing dotfiles but one upgrade later, my desktop broke and had to reset everything. I am not willing to 'install another desktop and then install your desired desktop' if it risks damaging my productivity to Google around for error-codes and workarounds.
