> Mac OS UX is far from any kind of golden standard fanboys try to make it out to be.

Haters pointing out a few flaws (which it does indeed have) doesn’t invalidate the fact that it’s still better than Windows or most Linux UIs.

I agree that it's marginally better than Windows, but it's inferior to Linux given the fact that you can have a superior UX on Linux. Obviously this is based on my personal preferences.

Not to mention, there's no walled garden of applications on Linux. While the "free for all" aspect of applications may be scary for some, the "welcome to adulthood, now make your own decisions" is a welcome change for many. Again, this is my personal opinion.

An issue I see with this is that not everyone has the time or will to customize their OS to their specific needs. In this regard, it might be arguable that Apple has done a reasonably good job at advertising/showcasing the ease of use of macOS out of the box.
