You've tried every desktop manager for Linux and spent enough time with them to be sure you didn't like them? Very impressive.

Not sure what your reliability metrics are, but I've run Linux and macOS desktops side by side for years now (decades, even), and I don't really detect much of a difference. The macOS ones do tend to have the benefit of a rigid hardware platform, which is why I suppose they do a bit less well when forced to run on an arbitrary platform (e.g. inside KVM).

Rather than give me negative points, how about you folks doing that trying to actually respond?
If you want good-faith responses, it's best not to be a jerk in what you're posting. Actually, your comment would be excellent if it had been just the second paragraph. Unfortunately the first paragraph negated it (and then some) before it even had a chance. That's one reason why the HN guidelines include "Don't be snarky."

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful and you'll get much more interesting responses. Note these in particular:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

"Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."
