I think this 100%. The problem with Linux is that it’s not controlled by a single company, there are many components developed by different contributors which have different interests. There is no single gui framework, no design guidelines so even the out-of-the-box software you get with any mainstream distribution doesn’t look cohesive. It simply lacks the polish of macOS.

Hardware wise I think if you use modern (i.e not older than 5 years) and also not just released hardware you are mostly ok. I haven’t had any driver problems, but that’s not to dismiss other peoples’ experience.

Linux is not for consumers, it needs nothing from them.

Android and chrome os (hell, even Darwin if you squint) all demonstrate that taking things away is the path to consumer happiness.

I am a professional user, I don't want a lobotomised system. An airplane cockpit is not like a car dash.
