> If you don't want to do things their way, fuck you, that's their motto. Then they wonder why people keep choosing other OSs.

I definitely feel your pain (I can't count the number of times I have run into UX issues on various Linux distros, and in search for a fix/answer find many people that ran into the exact same issue but find that the maintainer has stubbornly refused to consider changing or fixing it), but really? If you don't like something on Linux, you can fork and fix it yourself.* If you don't like something on Windows or macOS, it's Microsoft and Apple that are telling you 'fuck you, deal with it.'

* Whether or not doing so is feasible is a different story..

Other OSs still have the advantage of, well, working in ways that aren't dreamed up by keyboard-only terminal jockeys who've only ever had GUI's described to them. I mean seriously, just look at the .desktop spec, or really any FreeDesktop.org spec, and tell me the person who wrote it had ever in their life used the GUI as anything other than a really fancy tmux.
