I contributed to Linux 0.12 and used it ever since. Yet I mostly access Linux through Terminal on macOS. There are many reasons, and many of them subtle, the consistency and attention to UI detail, etc. I'm constant evaluating it, but I install Linux on _many_ devices, and every little thing that needs tweaking gets multiplied.
Ubuntu for me is getting very good, but inconsistencies like C-M-v in the terminal but C-v in the browser, font handling, etc etc (I could really go on forever) is irritating enough and I don't have time to be an idealist (I did when I was much younger).
The fundamental issue is "which Linux?". Apple sets a single standard and evolves actually fairly slowly over decades. There is a myriad of Linux desktop environments/distribution, but none have the man power and duration that Apple provides.
Buy hey, Linux desktop in 2021 is so much better than it was in 2001, so there's hope.
