Have you looked at KDE Plasma? I personally don’t like it because it looks and acts too much like Windows but it’s probably what you’re looking for.
I use Gnome myself because I like the hot corners, and I like it well enough but I’m currently trying to figure out AwesomeWM. I did borrow some of the shortcut ideas from it for gnome like windows key + enter for a console.
