I am the only one to think that these days, GNOME and KDE are more usable than anything made by Microsoft or Apple? I think part of the reason is that devs working on these projects don't have an incentive to make arbitrary changes like people who need to justify their paychecks.

I agree, except for the GNOME part. I think GNOME 2 was the last usable version, everything went downhill since GNOME 3.

KDE or Cinnamon (Linux Mint) are good though.

		You can still use Gnome 2 with e.g. the Mate desktop. I use it every day and it works good enough (though it has some bugs in the file manager).

Been using Fedora + KDE since ~March on my main dev machine (hp laptop), basically without any issues and it hasn't broken itself yet. Works amazing. KDE has cured my last bit of distrohopping I had left and I moved on from Gnome too. Things that irritate me on my last macos machine is literally 3 config toggles away in KDE.

In the coming month will install Fedora+KDE on 5 more machines for family members due to Windows 10 hitting end of life.

Even Mate is more usable, and to do decent work on a Mac I need a Lenovo Thinkpad external keyboard, which is much better than anything Apple has to offer and it even has a trackpoint and two mouse buttons.
