No kidding. I use a Mac as my daily driver, but I have to admit I find Apple's design choices for Mac OS frustrating. I really wish they would take the next release and just do some maintenance on the OS's basics, especially the goddamn finder. Also, Apple has totally ignored the gaming community, so if I want to do any kind of serious gaming I need separate hardware. Mac OS used to be a lot better IMO, but the addition of gatekeeper broke a LOT of software from the Unix/Linux world.
Linux would be ideal, but I need something that can run Adobe software and my work's office365 setup doesn't play well with Linux. Plus its hard to ignore the M series processor's Power to Performance ratio.
Windows is a huge mess. I don't understand what Microsoft's end goal for it is. They're actively removing basic functionality like local accounts and the ability to move the taskbar. Whats really egregious is their lack of concern for security issues and bugs. They straight up broke printing for something like a year. A while back, Microsoft canned their internal QA teams and outsourced the whole process to windows insiders.
Linux has a real opportunity here - they just need support from the proprietary world. Start getting native AAA games or productivity software and Linux can really make some headway.

Agreed with pretty much everything here. though with linux i think it mostly needs something that pushes and makes one single derivative the leading Linux OS that the vast majority uses so developers and AAA can actually be incentiviced to take "that one" and go from there instead of facing the choice and requests of the plentiful derivatives with no true overarching linux as is.
