Let me be blunt about Linux on desktop.

Linux desktop manager developers don't care for user experience. (Take example of gnome. It's gymnastic in it's own way)
Linux desktop forces you to use CLI every now and then. Unlike mac and windows, CLI isn't optional on linux.
People are really snarky and obnoxious in Linux community. Their activism and socialism approach goes out of hand and often people don't want such negativity for simply using desktop. You don't have such negativity and activism propaganda always hanging on your shoulder when you use Mac and Windows. KDE people hate anyone who innovate anything before them and don't use KDE. Gnome people don't care about anyone but their own team when it comes to UX. And such drama goes on and on in linux..
Lot of desktop apps which are popular on Mac and Windows don't have strong replacement on Linux.
Lot of driver issues.
Harder to fix boots and other issues without knowing command line or often harder to fix especially if you are using old hardware.
Nobody cares about design in Linux community. We are in 2019 but lot of Linux desktops are still in 1999. If you check some of the UI of some desktop managers, you'd just get irritated with windows border themes and icons.
Difference of opinion does not end well in Linux community. I used to love Ubuntu unity but the amount of hate that was aimed at canonical. I am surprised at they are even funding that free OS after so much hate. If I were to be owning canonical I'd have shifted all my business out of that free OS.
Windows and Mac being mature a lot of documentation is out as soon as the updates come in. In case of linux there is a lot of fragmentation on that front and nobody gets paid for fixing it being an open source in fact you re more likely to get hate for helping out on linux than anything. So why would anyone waste their time of their life doing micro fault management on linux everyday?
It's not worth developing premium app for customers because linux users are less likely pay for the premium application.

Linux desktop forces you to use CLI every now and then. Unlike mac and windows, CLI isn't optional on linux.

There are already AppImage and Debian packages (similiar to .exe), so there would be not anymore need to use CLI. But it is a matter of time. It will evolve. Windows was like many decades ago.

I disagree totally with you. There are Linux conservative, far right, right wing and Christian users. I guess you are a right wing guy.

If you think activism and socialism are bad, please do not complain about overpriced softwares like Adobe and Microsoft, and stop using open source softwares.

Yes, I know the most of Linux users are arrogant, cruel, cyberbullies, disgusting, egoist, elitist, fake, newbie-hostile and narcissistic. But would you like I call you with offensive words for being a macOS/Windows user?

Lot of desktop apps which are popular on Mac and Windows don't have strong replacement on Linux.

You are not self-sufficient or or are not hardworking to research. Tell me the applications that you do not find.

Nobody cares about design in Linux community. We are in 2019 but lot of Linux desktops are still in 1999. If you check some of the UI of some desktop managers, you'd just get irritated with windows border themes and icons.

Did you not learn that it is a matter of time? macOS and Windows were like. Linux is too new.

Have you never complained that you can not change the icons the Microsoft-stored apps or can not customise Apple system UI? Still, you are not self-sufficient and hardworking, you can change Linux desktop UI and icons until it fit your needs. Here are the screenshots: /unixporn.

Then I told you that it is a matter of time, did you not learn? I told it in former paragraphies, and then it will evolve and get mature with the time. macOS and Windows were like.

Hear, RedHat has been bought by IBM. Soon Canonical and other Linux enterprises will be bought by big IT enterprises too. Then with it, they will evolve and get mature with the time.
