Linux has some of the nicest DEs.

But we are used to the DE being de-coupled from the OS, and being able to change it. For Windows and Mac the DE is a 'selling point', for Linux it isn't because it can be changed any which way you want. I mean, in Ubuntu it's trivial to install 10 different DEs and switch every time you log in...

Lol. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd personally take Unity or Gnome Shell over Windows' or OSX's UI anyday...

Linux always loses? People who do this don't even know Linux exists!
