This is common apple fanatism bs. Except for a few very specific workloads and iDevices development, most things can be done on windows or Linux equally well.

I respectfully disagree. The entire desktop experience on macOS feels WAY more cohesive than windows (which I have used since early 90s), or any of the DE i have tried on linux/bsd (which i have used extensively for over 20 years). Additionally the quality of the hardware (specification/cost aside) far exceeds the alternatives. I HATE the way that apple are going. Their products are absolutely fantastic, but it is evident that the direction is to lock-down the "computer" as they have done their mobile ecosystem. I hope that legislation and regulation will tear their walled garden (and others!) apart. Then we can get back to bashing peoples OS for being not our own - rather than for being the authoritarian minefield they have become.

What video editing and UI/UX/illustration software would you recommend on Linux? I know I could use Inkscape over Sketch for example but I can't see how I would be as productive as the clone functionality isn't comparable to the symbols functionality of Sketch e.g. you can create a reusable web page header element that you can paste in multiple locations with the colours + text changed via simple parameters where the rest is kept in sync with the original. Is there something similar?

  UI design I do with Figma on Linux since 2 years. For video editing I recommemd looking into DsVinci Resolve.

    Are there any alternatives to Figma?

      I only heard of Akira. Put I'm not sure it will hit production state at any point as it never reached its crowdfunding financing goals. https://github.com/akiraux/Akira https://github.com/akiraux/Akira
