I can sort-of see where your coming from here.
Yeah, Linux comes with KDE and GNOME (and many other graphical environments), however you can still install Linux in a pure text-based mode too.
Solaris comes with CDE and GNOME, so there's another choice.
For ease of use in terms of GUI, I'd go with Linux and KDE, which will also give you the freedom to explore the command line and learn the true "guts" of the OS. For stability, functionality, and KDE-Centricity, I'd go with SuSE.
