I re read it and there is just once sentance trashing macOS and then OP is talking about linux. No other details about what macOS is trash. So I guess you’re not presuming correctly

> Change for change's sake, needless shifting in settings/config menus. Weird "we tried to make this similar to mobile" themes in some places but not others. Overly complex os navigation

That is garbage ? Changing the UI of settings ? MacOS navigation has been the same for a decade. Who uses the settings daily ? I don’t even open settings once a month. Every single piece of UI evolve and must evolve. The ones that don’t are stuck in the past and belongs to a museum. I don’t see what complex and thus garbage.

Functionality that you use once a year or less is _exactly_ the sort of thing that needs to be consistent. It's literally the last place that an innovation should arrive, after that innovation has been fully developed and battle-tested.

So among the hundreds of things that makes an OS garbage, you’ll likely place as top criteria an UI you use once a year. Windows settings has been the worse of the worse of all UI settings ever. That’s my criteria then, macOS is luxury in any kind of form compared to the maze and hidden UI that make windows.

Don't read what I didn't write.

We agree on what you said then
