Tried using a Mac, hated how the UI got in the way all the time. A few weird quirks with docker were annoying too, including slowness.

Now run Linux with LXDE on my 16GB laptop. Everything works well and it's blazingly fast. The UI is simple and functional, but not as beautiful as the MacOS UI.

I guess in the beginning we want all the bells and whistles, but with experience, all we want is control. Linux gives me that control to a much greater degree than a Mac.

As a mac user, I have no idea what MacOS UI you're referring to is.

I live exclusively in terminal or browser, all other apps are opened via terminal and closed with cmd+q.

I like macOS because it doesn't get in the way even when I almost never had to interact with Finder (which I still find weird every time I had to use it, for web uploads etc).

Same experience. For me Finder is simply unusable, not sure if I'm not used to it but the experience is terrible for me. So I prefer to do everything through the terminal or use some TUI like https://github.com/jarun/nnn

The only time that I have to interact with the UI is when I have to do something on System Settings, which is also dreadful.
