Linux is better but you shouldn't compare it on aesthetics. The AI nightmare will be more fun, beautiful and easy to use! Linux will always lose against others when it comes to liking how it is. UX, UI, "it just works" windows and macs win. You should never ever expect someone to prefer it on only aesthetic or usability grounds. You will never like it. But this is NOT why you should choose Linux. Linux is for Freedom, customisability and privacy. With enough investment of time you can get something you will like but you need to choose and use it first. With enough investment and customisation it's possible to get it to be superior in usability but you need to choose it and use it and live with it. You will like it but only if you choose it over liking "better" alternatives for non superficial reasons. (Note: For some non technical people Linux may be able to be simpler and better UX aesthetics and to use if configured properly)

  > Linux will always lose against others when it comes to liking how it is. UX, UI, "it just works" windows and macs win. It depends on what you're comfortable with. I've been using a tiling window manager with a config that I have barely changed over the last 3 or 4 years now. I find it very awkward to try to stumble around through the UI of modern Windows or Mac OS. And that's not to mention the absolutely obnoxious notifications on Windows... It would take me a lot of time and effort to customize these systems to being close to what I'm comfortable with. It would honestly be easier for me to get working comfortably on a FreeBSD box than a Windows box. I might be able to hack something together that I would be comfortable with on Mac OS though.
