This is what happens when a long term, non-developer tries to use Linux by themselves (no technical friend telling him what to do); and the honest reality is that, the experience always ends in fustration. Before using anecdotes or suggesting that he didn't use X / Y / Z, first, just read this to understand why he believes it was a mistake and why he felt he was wasting his time, even though he used Linux for more than a decade: > I can make music in Bitwig or Reaper on Ubuntu, but Ableton on macOS is easier to use and supports all my VSTs. GIMP and Darktable offer solid image editing, but let’s be honest, they’re nowhere near as powerful as Lightroom and Photoshop. Linux can do all the things now — sometimes better than Windows. But for all it does, it always feels like there’s a better option. Instead, he ended up switching to macOS. This shows that it still means the Linux desktop experience is not good enough for just regular work, compared with macOS it seems. There is still a lot of room for improvement. Maybe the true reason for the Verge author for switching to macOS was simply just taste.
