I understand what you mean, but the biggest challenge for me as someone that needs to "get things done" is that I'm forced into a duopoly on desktop /because/ of mobile. I'm perfectly comfortable using FreeBSD as a daily driver on a Thinkpad, and I did for years. I now use a Macbook Pro /because/ I use an iPhone and an Apple Watch. I used to use a Fitbit, and I used to use Android (way back in the beginning), but it quickly became clear that the packaged experience with Apple was simply better (and that Google wasn't a trustworthy player). If it weren't for the situation with mobile devices (phone / smartwatch), I'd still be using a Thinkpad with FreeBSD for my personal and work computers.
