    macOS - because it just works and I like a clean, consistent ui.

    I tried Windows, again and again - and it just feels like Microsoft is incapable of designing a ui that is consistent. Drives me crazy.

    Linux, well. I like to run it on servers. I love it. But on the desktop it remains a pain. Yes, a lot has improved over the years. But there is still a long way to go before I would consider it user friendly. And the worst part: I do not see how a consistent ui would even be possible.

      I think a consistent UI across Linux sort of goes against the concept of the whole thing. But in my opinion there are some very nice, clean desktop environments available today. I still agree with you though, despite my being a fan boy. We’re a ways off from the “year of the Linux desktop.” It doesn’t “just work” like MacOS and it’s not a comfortable standard like Windows.

      GNOME is getting there, if you use GNOME apps everything will have a consistent UI

        Gnome tries to get there. But it’s not really there yet.

        And: Lot’s of apps don’t care for the environment standard and just do whatever they want. So, it looks like a zoo. Sadly.
