I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
I manage hundreds of linux servers... from my windows desktop and mac laptop.<p>This will be super unpopular, but Linux missed the desktop boat 20 years ago, and my feeling as someone who at the time built his gentoo OS&#x27;s from source, it was the fault of a few things:<p>1) Fragmented gui development. There were too many projects with none focusing on really making a better gui than mac&#x2F;windows.<p>2) A lack of bread and butter 1st class &quot;business&quot; apps - you know, office. OpenOffice is fine, IF you are ok with the janky ui and no one knowing how it works.<p>3) lack of open source exchange type mail&#x2F;cal&#x2F;etc server and outlook-like client). Holy fudge, I tried to get this going and people just crapped on me for suggesting it.<p>4) Until recently, installing on laptops was an absolute crap shoot.<p>5) Just, apps, in general. Gimp is fine, but it has never been close to photoshop. GUI standards are all over the place, etc. People go to a platform because it has the tools they want. The real fallout from point 1 is no one would ever port apps to linux (a little hyperbolic - a lot of high-end post production apps and audio apps all made it over). Open source yadda yadda, thats nice (this is not a brush off, it IS nice), but the ecosystem could be light years ahead of where we are now.
