I always find polished Linux DE's like cinnamon, Gnome 3, Pantheon and unity to be top notch and more usable than OSX. I'm surprised Mac OS has never had an overhaul of the look, on their windows, buttons, icons or anything. On the other hand, I absolutely find it to be nightmare to navigate in Finder - the shortcuts are a mess.. and there is no address bar at all! Other than that I also do find Mac OS to be slower than Linux due to some bloat. On an overall scale, software availability is almost on par with Mac OS. The only drawback for Linux is graphics applications like Photoshop aren't just either available, or not hardware accelerated properly.

- You can get the directory structure in Finder windows. - The short cuts are not a mess, they're just not what you're used to. - macOS may still look similar to previous versions, but, to my taste, anything touched by gnome is a macOS ripoff that looks downright oversized and is either gaudy or too dark. - Today I tried to get a database manager for mongodb on Ubuntu 20.04 that is more than a wrapper around the command line. Nowhere to be found. And let's not mention video editing, music making, and gaming. You prefer Linux, fine, but please don't diss the rest.

  Gnome is a ripoff? I haven't ever come across this anywhere. It's been around for a long long time really. It's near perfect for what it is, and it's also nicely customisable. Regarding the shortcuts, I found Enter, Backspace, using Space Bar for selecting, etc. to be simpler compared to holding down cmd+up/down, and other combinations.

openbox is more usable than OSX. Heck anything besides twm is more usable than osx. and osx keeps getting worse and worse. What's up with the maximized windows now?! Not to mention you still can't command+tab between two terminal windows.
