Why exactly do you not use Linux for desktop? I use Manjaro with KDE and am totally happy, it feels better than Mac (I also have). The only problem is you can't run the latest Visual Studio and Adobe CS.
- dkarras 7y agoI do operate linux desktop machines but not as my main driver. As much as I like Linux and OSS in general, the community just does not have UX and design experts. They are not part of the community. As a consequence, all desktop environments in Linux is "programmer art". I have an eye for design and UX in general, and Linux desktop feels like a Frankenstein's monster of features with no coherent logic. Now windows is like that too. Not as bad but still... I also use lots of proprietary software that won't run in Linux (for audio and gfx work) - especially for audio, linux audio stack is and has always been a mess. That said, even if all those software ran comfortably, the desktop experience alone is a dealbreaker for me personally. With macOS, I have a unix and a solid very well thought out desktop experience so I get the best of both worlds. Also with hackintosh, hardware is also cheap (use good old PCs I assemble myself) so overall it is the best of all worlds for me.
