Nah, if I ever wrote an article about the software crisis on the Linux desktop, there’d be flames here making Apple’s issues look small.

It'd be an interesting flame war in the comments, if nothing else, go for it! I'm happy to give plenty of concrete evidence why Linux is more suitable for professionals than macOS is in 2025 :)

Try copy pasting bash snippets between any linux text editor and terminal.

Now try the same with notes on a mac. Notes mangles the punctuation and zsh is not bash.

Notes is a rich-text editor. If you don’t want smart quotes, use a plain-text file in TextEdit, or Sublime or Vim or whatever.

Omg I despise the fact that there's n competing GUI standards on linux, zero visual consistency.

I love diversity in websites, and apps for that matter, but this isn't diversity, it is the uncanny valley between bespoke graphic design and homogeneity.

Say what you want about SwiftUI, but it makes consistent, good looking apps. Unless something has changed, GTK is a usability disaster.

And that's before I get into how much both X11 and wayland suck equally.

There's so much I miss about Linux, but there's so much I don't

People are paying the richest company in the world for their software crisis on Linux.

if you do write something, please seperate enterprise, developer, end user, embedded/RT because they all have different requirements.
