Don't underestimate the appeal of small utilities. The elementary appcenter has nice little tools like this or this, and Mint has warpinator. Unity used to have some nice little helpers, too. For instance a HUD. Lets make a list of tools (or browse OMGUbuntu) and pick the top 20. Maybe includin this. Make them available on Pop and make the top 5 part of the default installation.

Unity 7 HUD could search the menubar of any application. I was quite good at guessing the name of the function I wanted, far better than I was at finding it in menus. It looks like MATE and i3 still have this.

If you want a single solution then look for projects implementing a "HUD". For KDE Plasma there is this one: https://github.com/Zren/plasma-hud, that is a fork of this for Ubuntu Mate: https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/mate-hud. Hopefully you find something that suits your needs!
