My basic opinion is that there are really no great desktop operating systems currently being made anymore. Mac OS used to be it but started losing me after Snow Leopard to be completely honest.
I feel both desktop producing companies that actually matter (can run all the productivity apps I need to do my job) have put this space on the back burner for cloud (Microsoft) or consumer electronics (Apple).
No year has ever been the year of the Linux Desktop and all the Desktop stuff for Linux is too Linux specific to work well portably on FreeBSD.
All I can say is I hope Apple makes iPads able to run full development suites because the desktop appears to be dying a slow death in general.
Or, maybe I’m wrong (would love to be) and things start getting better again.

Which is just another way of saying, dumbing down of the UI and restricting what can be done, and offloading to the cloud. Development suites will all move to containers in clouds just like VSCode does today.
