The Linux desktop is simply insufficient. I use Linux extensively at work, entirely in a container context. I have a custom PC in the basement with 2 GPUs that runs and boots Linux exclusively. In my studio I have a RasPI and an Intel skull canyon machine running Linux as servers. I have another dual boot custom PC in my studio which can run windows, but almost always is running Linux as it is right now. While this machine can be used as a desktop at a standing desk I use daily for work, rarely do I ever switch the monitor to use the desktop. The computer I am using to type now is at another desk, certainly has its own host of issues as it is an Intel Apple machine, is more expensive than it ought to be, but realistically I am much happier and productive with Mac OS, despite having some workflows that could easily be ported to Linux. Further, the UI intensive applications that I rely on, simply have no credible peer in the Linux ecosystem. I will leave out a rant about the pervasiveness of the antiquated X window system which is at the core of most Linux desktop environments.
