Maybe it depends on what software you're using? I use both OSX (MBP) and Linux Mint as my desktop. Everything I use works on both. Both are stable and solid and work perfectly. I'm on a 4k60 monitor. The only thing I had to do is have my graphics card do vsync on Linux. Software vsync on Linux is horrible. GPU vsync has Linux runs smooth as butter the same as smooth as OSX. I also had to manually increase my dpi and font sizes to match my monitor.

Do you have unified keyboard navigation inside of text editors across all linux applications? Can you reliably cut and paste between all applications? Can you open the menu items with the keyboard? It could be the applications, but I find to get the smooth OSX experience I need to tweak every single application's preferences, many of which do not have have the required level of control, then I need to resort to xmodmap, etc, this is the path to ruin, rather than modify my system I have to modify myself which hurts but I am ultimately more flexible than software. I have come to the realization that the desktop OS you run doesn't matter, use what works for you. I would absolutely love to run Libre software for everything, but it isn't possible. Maybe someone will create a window manager that also does live binary patching and instrumentation, I am convinced that this is the only way, but by the time that comes, everything will run in the browser anyway.

Of course. >Can you open the menu items with the keyboard? What, why? The great thing about OSX is keybinds are standard between programs, so you for all intents and purposes only need to learn one set of keybinds. Other OS' are not as uniform but uniform enough to not cause problems too. >I would absolutely love to run Libre software for everything, but it isn't possible. I have it and use it. I don't see the problem.
