I'd love to have a better hardware quality build than my current Macbook Air, but my problem is that I've become quite fond of MacOS over the last few years. I don't miss the days when I was running Xubuntu and trying to tinker out everything to get the basics working. Windows hasn't been to my taste lately either.
Are the current generation of Linux desktop environments as user friendly as MacOS?
- confounded 9y agoNope, but there is way less tinkering required than there used to be. For the last two years, getting going with modern peripherals and a browser/terminal/editor hasn’t involved any futzing (I use ThinkPads). Gnome is the standard for ‘Mac-like’ desktop environments on Linux, the version shipped with Ubuntu 18.04 will likely be well polished and welcoming to new users. Personally, if you like to avoid a mouse, I’d recommend a tiling window manager — the quality and range of these on Linux is just fantastic. The full concept doesn’t quite seem to exist anywhere else. Extremely un-friendly to a novice user, but extremely productive and enjoyable for ‘professional’ use.
