Strangely, no one came up with the idea of porting that ready-made UI to Linux, they just messed around with Gnome and KDE. On Wayland the most suitable for me is Hyprland, unfortunately it is still far from full functionality.
BeOS is truly a cohesive and unique ecosystem. However it is not fair to say its UX is the most pleasant to use. Big guys like MS and Apple are still trying to figure out the UX as the hardware has advanced at rapid pace introducing new ways of doing interaction. GNOME and KDE will likely play the followers role than leading the industry. It's unfortunate yet understandable...
