I've been living with Ubuntu for a couple of years. Not a match made in 
heaven but it at least has a taskbar, panel, dock, or whatever you want to 
call it. 

I was messing around with a VM on another machine and loaded openSUSE Leap 
16 with GNOME. As we used to say, that sucks green donkey dicks. Delete 
VM, reinstall with the KDE DE. The host box is Fedora/KDE so they look 
pretty much the same. 

I briefly had Mint with Xfce. That's got some tweaks too and didn't look 
like Xfce on my Debian work box.
