Not really true if what you want is a full macOS-style desktop experience with a few choice features from elsewhere bolted on. Linux desktops are predominantly Windows-style or minimal tiling thing, with the exceptions (GNOME, Pantheon) bearing only surface-level Mac aesthetics and being more comparable to superpowered tablet OS experiences.

MacOS is neutered for any advanced or even power user compared to practically any Linux desktop experience. Trying to just resize or remove a window should convince you of that instantly.

Can you expand a bit on what you mean by "Superpowered tablet os"?

I'm tend to think of it as a server os with a DE, but as a backend developer I'm probably biased.

Gnome is a pretty big exception lol. Considering it's the dominant DE.

Also tablet OS? Gnome is keyboard driven with tiling features OOTB...
