I really hope John didn't get paid to write this. He didn't bother to try to support any of his statements. He certainly didn't research them. As far as I'm concerned, there are two types of users. There are power users, which I'll handily define as not necessarily experts at their desktop environment, but rely on highly specialized tools to do their job, tools that might only be available on one platform. There are non-power users, the ones who just need a web browser, email, and an occasional spreadsheet. For the first category, they need what they need. A UX expert will probably want OSX, not because of OSX's amazing interface, but because their tools (photoshop) of choice are there. I need the Linux desktop. I don't "just kind of get-by" on Linux desktop. I demand it. I install Ubuntu on my Apple machines I'm forced to use. Why? Because I'm more productive on a Linux desktop. I have a windows manager configuration (i3) that is highly optimized for my workflows. I've also been building tons around Docker as of late, docker is clumsy to use on OSX or Windows, but is a breeze on Linux. I could use it through a VM, but why, when my Linux Desktop experience is so powerful. The 2nd category of users can use pretty much anything, from a tablet to a VM on a server, regardless of the OS. It just needs to run Chrome. I put my non-poweruser friends and family on Ubuntu so I don't have to deal with viruses or installing things.
