It's the year of the Linux desktop. Break free of the walled gardens, there's no good excuse to throw your money away anymore. ElementaryOS and a few other projects have superb Apple flavored UI and UX. Apple just wants your money; they don't give a flying rat's ass about you or your needs.

We aren't given an option at my work, but if we were I'd still choose the Mac anyway. I love the Mac and that's why I care so much about this design regression. I like that it unlocks with my watch or fingerprint from a wireless keyboard, I like that I can push files and browser tabs between my Mac and phone just by sharing, I like that if I can push my mouse off the side of the screen and control my iPad with my keyboard and mouse with zero setup, or if I want one more monitor I can turn my iPad into that with 2 clicks. I could go on.
They just need to get back into the mindset that design is how it works. Not forcing some aesthetic into everything with the superficial idea of "focusing on content" as a backwards justification for making everything transparent cause someone thought it was prettier.
I think people should stop replicating "Apple-flavored" user interfaces on Linux. That just leads to constant disappointment.
I'd rather Linux developed an identity of its own. I feel like keyboard driven tiled windows are the closest it has to that.
What's a good invoicing app for small businesses / freelancers on Linux?
What's a good calendar app on Linux?
What's a good e-mail client?
What's a good photo and image editor?
This year I switched from the Linux desktop to MacOS. I finally got tired of how unprofessional Linux operating systems were being run.
I think Liquid Glass looks good.
Not everyone uses Electron apps exclusively.
The cross platform scene is much different these days. Electron apps suck, but at least they suck equally across all platforms. And there are many Electron apps.
But a lot of people rely on Adobe, Microsoft or Windows-only, Mac-only apps. I don’t see that changing anytime soon, unfortunately.
