I've been using Ubuntu on my desktop for three years now. I love developing on it, but the consumer aspect has minor annoyances.
- If I have a PDF with advanced features, then I need to use Windows.
- Chrome, VS Code, and a few select applications flash repeatedly once up to a certain window size. Found out the problem has something to do with AMD graphics chips.
- I think Libre Office is horrible.
- Linux is still a second-class citizen for certain major apps such as Skype. I wouldn't mind ditching Skype altogether but some clients demand it.
I've never used a Mac, but I can't help but think it's the best of both worlds...but Apple keeps making decisions which I feel sidelines developers.
