I started using Linux (nixos first, now back to Arch) more frequently one year ago and I have a nice boring KDE desktop. Everything works pretty well and the UX is way ahead of OS X.
In the past I was a full time user of KDE3/4 but I've used plenty of OpenBox, i3, sway et similia. In the last 8 years I ended up mostly on Mac, albeit I've installed Arch Linux on a 2015 Macbook Pro (and it was glorious).
Funnily enough, I realised I'm at that age where I'm working only on my desk, so I don't really need to waste lithium batteries for a device that's always plugged in. And I'm tired of the Macbook wasting CPU cycles and getting as hot as a volcano on proprietary crappy software I can't change.
Apple really needs to start hiring some software engineers; the hardware is pretty good but the OS is terribly bloated.
It's a shame we still don't have non-Apple decent laptops, I hope things will change thanks to the shift to Arm and cellphone makers (who did a pretty good job with the quality of some Android devices).
