Apple hasn't changed the basic interface significantly over the past 10 years... but I don' think they needed to.
There have been a fairly large number of changes to the underlying operating system though. Everything from updates to Safari to the switch to APFS to completing the migration to 64 bit. Retina support, things like Airdrop and Handover which make interacting with my phone much better.
> Windows, on the other hand, has changed significantly. Sure, it runs 32-bit programs, but the interface difference between 7 and 10 is ginormous.
Microsoft seems to be compelled to change their interface significantly with almost every major update, but there is never any guarantee that the change is for the better. I have seem little about Windows 10 that makes me feel the urge to move away from MacOS.
> Linux, as much as I love it, is probably the worst offender.
I'm not sure it matters too much though because at this point the vast majority of the time I'm running a web browser, or editing code with either VSCode or VIM and modern Linux seems to be pretty good at that.
Most likely the biggest things I would miss running Linux would be the same things I would miss on Windows which revolve around iPhone/ iPad integration (AirDrop/ Handoff/ Copy Paste/ iCloud Integration)
