Android uses a Linux kernel but the Android layer is not as transparent as Linux PC distros. As instance I have hard time to remove the bloat.

I suggest you to try the Mint diffrent DEs. In the live stick, or in a VM if you know these stuff. Maybe you will find them suitable.
Nothing hypes me on the WIP projects.
The logo is cool. Also it is not driven by Google which is a web company and a browser developer at the same, thats dangerous.
We need another display system. Something more dev friendly and more desktop agnostic.
I seems Wlroots is designed to be server agnostic (despite the name), if it is bound to a new display server many apps should be available.
The road blocks I encountered on Kak are, copy paste from other applications, remembering the mode I'm in (like the other modal editors), the language for config and plugins, removing clippy. Finally I was back on Howl but I admit, Kakoune was mind-blowing.
I don't know the Windows state currently, but at the time I switched, I liked the following.
- Linux is just a kernel. The user can choose between different components. You'll see some hot discussions because of that. But user friendly distributions can do these choices for you.
- Linux is transparent. As an open source software its harder to harm user privacy.
In all distro I tried, I always found Vi.
The PS3 is not crazy, but has an exotic hardware that optionnally runs Linux.
Nyxt includes a blocker, and has an appealing minimalistic interface, but I never tested.
Xfce is the Linux I appreciate. Its not made heavy for some opinionated features addition and setups are exposed to users.
There is also a place for DEs that are more opinionated and polished out of the box, its fine. But I'm glad composable things such as Xfce still exists.
There are probably Xorg maintainers in that project, but I doubt about X11 protocol creators. This is a different thing.
