And yet i have used Ubuntu for the last 12 years, 6 of which as my main driver. Even as we speak i still have ubuntu on my laptop (my desktop is running windows , with some vmware instance of unbutu).

But as i get older, and have more responsibilities. I have less and less time for tinkering and need to have something reliable without fuss. I can't count the number of friends like me who were die hard linux fan who progressively moved to MacOs (better hardware helps, but also better app ecosystem) just for practical reasons.

But in many ways , your comment is a reflection of what i was trying to articulate. Any criticism of linux/desktop (and note here that i am only criticizing the desktop experience. The server side and command line are second to none) is always frame as a problem of the user... either you are using wrong, or you don't know what good, or things work on my machine must be a you problem...
