I suppose it's a personal preference but after nearly two decades of using OSX I find Windows unusable and clunky.

Linux desktop is still a tinkertoy.

Curious opinion, that.

Linux on the desktop has been serving me very well for over 2 decades as my daily driver both at home and at work.

which Linux desktop are you saying is a tinkertoy?
I really want to get on board with Linux as the desktop, but it’s not there yet for the average person. My package manager broke in Mint, not sure why, and I had to do some Googling and fix it. I had to reformat my wife’s Linux laptop for some reason. They both run great when they’re running, I was surprised even Microsoft Teams has a Linux binary, so it’s definitely improving. But it’s still tough to recommend to grandma.
Whatever Ubuntu ships with.
