Sometimes new Linux distros still in beta-only status can offer pleasant surprises with a key feature not available elsewhere. Check out Enso OS for a prime example.

Enso OS is a relatively new Linux distribution that debuted a couple of years ago. It is a custom build of Xubuntu 18.04 and features the Xfce desktop (hence the Xubuntu base) combined with Gala, a Mutter-based window/compositing manager designed for use in Elementary OS and its Pantheon Shell.
