People who haven't tried Linux on desktop for some years might like these distros:

Pop OS

KDE Neon

Linux Mint (Cinnamon version)

MX Linux (ahs/Advanced Hardware Support version)

I think I should have said 'very high taxes'.
Another one from 2021. The gist is that the Apple App Store is hosting multimillion dollar scams:

IMO the high taxes should be only for people worth tens of millions of dollars or more.
