Only if you don't need a GUI/Desktop.

I rate Linux DE higher than I do windows and Mac desktop tbh. Better ergonomics, better user experience and less bloat.

I could never get smooth scrolling to work on Linux in any mainstream web browser, most people don’t seem to see it, but I’m sensitive to things like that.

Like with a laptop trackpad? I'm smooth-scrolling through these comments right now, and don't remember when scrolling wasn't smooth by default on any trackpad.

It’s smooth to a point, but not smooth like OS X is. It might have improved (I think I last tried desktop Linux a year ago). I do enjoy using Linux as my default headless OS.

Imho that was somewhat true on x11 but on wayland I feel everything is much smoother. I am more a pgup/pgdown user though.

I need a few accessibility settings and Mac just excels in this regard.

I have a GUI/Desktop on Linux, not sure what you're referring to?

I not only need a GUI/Desktop, it's my daily driver!

And there are precious few things that Windows GUI/Desktop provides which I don't have on Linux, while the reverse is never true.

When I used Mac (Big Sur, I think?) until a year ago, I was absolutely miserable about having to use such a primitive GUI.
