Uusally I only access Raspberry Pis via SSH, so the question of desktop
user interaces hasn't really been an issue.

Now that I have had a new Pi 400 on my desk for a couple of weeks, there
are some aspects of the UI that I find rather unsatisfactory.

One is the window-centric menubar arrangement; I find it much less
pleasant to use than the Mac's menubar that sits at the top of the
screen (also adopted by default by Ubuntu).

The other is what feels like very crude mouse acceleration profiles,
that make the mouse tracking feel simultaneously too fast and too slow.

Are there easily-installed alternatives? I don't want a wholesale
replacement of Raspberry Pi OS, because I'm work on and with software in
the Raspberry Pi ecosystem and need components to work in the same way.

Thanks,

Daniele
