RHEL 8

[Phil Waclawski]

Yes, and the UNITY thing on Ubuntu also beat windows 8 to the punch.  That
was when I switched to Kubuntu.  I've had a student testing kubuntu 15 and
it looks like the customizations I normally do to KDE have been disabled
(or hidden) in KDE 5....may start looking at Mint or something else.
I wish these UI/UX folks would realize that removing choices drives people
away. I don't care if you use defaults that I don't like, that's OK. The
average user may like those defaults better, again, I'm fine with that. But
don't remove my ability to alter the desktop the way that works best for my
workflow.
