The desktop experience on macOS has gotten worse with every release while the desktop experience on Linux just keeps getting better and better. Fedora, openSUSE Leap, Ubuntu all offer a great experience.
Are macs still shipping with severely outdated CLI tools? 10 years ago, Mac users just got the ability to resize a window by any edge or corner... How's that really good window management system working out for ya?
It's shocking that the Mac UX is so good that 75% of the developers out there would rather not use one... Meanwhile developers are the group that uses them more than the general population so both groups obviously disagree that Macs have a good UX at all lul.
Windows is still shipping without CLI tools and Linux distros also mostly don't ship with build-essential or headers, -dev packages or every language toolchain. Every system requires setup and MacOS shipping with older GPL2 packages puts it squarely between the two alternatives in terms of setup and configuration cost.
As for the WM differences, its just a different way of thinking about it, or a preference. None of them really bother me, personally.
