- daxorid 9y agoYes, but: 1. The UI is horrible and not amenable to sufficient customization. Xfce, bspwm, and i3 are all substantially better from a user experience and getting-things-done standpoint. 2. The availability of tooling for basically everything other than graphics design or video editing is significantly worse than for Linux.
