The biggest problem with that idea is that you would need to convince the developers who write Mac software to also develop for Linux. There are some really powerful pieces of software on Linux, but almost none of them are designed half as nicely as most Mac software.

That is probably not because Mac developers are inherently more "design affine" but because there is a very clear design standard on MacOS while Linux is basically a complete clusterfuck with 20 different desktops etc. So it's not as much a matter of getting Mac devs to also make stuff for Linux as getting Linux to be more standardized.
- zchrykng 7y agoYeah, could definitely be a combination factors. Mostly I think it is that people who care about design have frequently gravitated toward the mac because of their nice design.
