I think you’re judging a bit too harsh. Elementary has it’s faults, but it is (was) an interesting OS with a lot of unique ideas:
They ran out of funding last year, and their lead developer left. I think that explains the drop in quality that you encountered. Elementary used to be a coherent and polished OS, in a time when most Linux distributions were still a bit messy. I was a happy user for quite a while. Sadly, many of their innovations turned out to be a dead end. Their appstore mostly contains toy apps that nobody wants to pay for, Vala has lost traction, their “Code” IDE lacks LSP integration, and GNOME or KDE apps look out of place, and it’s impossible to upgrade to new releases. I wouldn’t recommend it anymore, but I hope that they will find their way back up again.
I beg to differ. Fedora Linux worked out of the box on my current Dell laptop, on the previous (Acer) laptop, and the previous pc too (I think it was a Lenovo). No problems whatsoever.
Meanwhile, it took multiple hours to disable the various ads, pulp news, and trackers on the Windows pc that I use for work.
I highly recommend LWN.net.
GNOME. I currently use it without any extensions, but sometimes use “Blur my shell” for the visual effect.
GNOME “just works” and looks extremely polished and consistent. It gives the application the maximum amount of screen real estate. The keyboard shortcuts are great. It’s very power-user friendly IMO.
It’s quite a stretch to call the RHEL-clone companies “the Linux Community”.
RedHat developers created large parts of the Linux software ecosystem and are involved in many upstream projects of RHEL. If anyone is part of the community, it’s them.
The new Outlook, currently in preview, is identical to the Outlook webmail client (in my experience). Native apps are becoming more and more obscure.

CTRL-C has been the default key combination to terminate a running process, since forever. Reassigning it to “copy selection” would be very inconvenient.
I like the solution of the ElementaryOS terminal: when you press CTRL-C, it does “the right thing” depending on the context.
I used Zim in the past, it’s a very polished app with a lot of features.
Are you sure it wasn’t Xandros OS?
