I heard someone describe #Mastodon as social media for people who like #Linux. Now I’m curious. How many of you actually like Linux?
(Please boost! Hoping for a sufficiently large sample size that’s more likely to represent the wider #fediverse.)
@digichelle what’s your personal opinion on desktop Linux?
Personally, I love all three major systems but I do find myself enjoying Mac OS more. iMessage on the Mac is a game changer for me. I don’t need to be on my phone once I’m home. I can do everything on my desk
@Cyborg Great question! I’m actually a fan of desktop Linux, for the most part, and the experience is better than ever. If one’s needs are met by it, it’s more than viable as a daily driver.
That said, I prefer the macOS desktop experience, for reasons that are largely personal and subjective. Overall, it strikes me as friendlier and more coherent. But of course, it isn’t perfect. Nothing is.
At work I'm using MacOS but it's missing features KDE had over a decade ago and that infuriates me regularly.
Not customizations, a decent virtual desktop support would be nice. Even Windows has a better one than MacOS, and KDE is incredibly beyond both with both virtual desktops and activities.
