Spotify for Linux is exactly the same as Spotify for Windows oral macOS. KDE connect allows for SMS integration within the desktop.
I'm not going to tell you to go Linux if you like macOS, but please don't spread misinformation.

Spotify on Linux == Spotify on Mac == Spotify on Windows == Spotify on the web.
It's an electron app.

Is it an Electron app now? Last time I poked around on macOS (admittedly, about a year ago), it didn’t look like an Electron app to me, but it most definitely was using a web view of some kind.

It's not Electron, but it is Chromium.

FYI - Spotify does have a Linux client and it's quite decent https://www.spotify.com/ch-de/download/linux/
Otherwise I agree.
Depending on your needs linux is not on par with Windows/MacOS yet, especially when you need commercial non dev/tech near software, unfortunately.
Whether that is a no go or not is an individual decision.

Still my preferred dev environment. Mature package management, best CLI. But those little things makes me want a Mac at work.

> Sketch
> Photoshop
Sounds like you're doing graphic design. Unless you're doing animation (in which case https://krita.org/en/ is much better than any Adobe thing I've used) you're definitely better off with a Mac.
It simply doesn’t have the polish, or flexibility that I’d need to effectively stay on it for long. I always end up spending longggg times customizing things only to feel little integration, little support, and a lack of decent third party software. Sketch is Mac only. Spotify barely has a Linux client. Certainly no photoshop, medocire native email clients, zero IM that integrate with any networks I use (sms/iMessage), etc etc. Yes there’s lots of options as a webpage, but that’s a shallow substitute.
If you happen to need only the stuff that’s available, and your workflow is largely CLI-driven, then it’s probably fine. Otherwise it’s macOS for me.
