I'm very happy with my Linux desktop.

I mostly live in the Plasma desktop, Konsole and Firefox. And life is good.

What are you missing?

Bad in what way? Most people who aren’t power users barely leave the browser.
I mean, define bad.

Certainly they're much more complex. More susceptible to malware, too.

But they're also much more powerful. I can get tasks done 10x as fast. They're much more open, too. They have well-defined interfaces for most things, which means I can automate tasks. Can't do that on a phone.
