    it's sunk cost bias. I have this trying to use windows or macos, after using linux exclusively for half my life - everything feels foreign and frustrating, with an obnoxious amount of UX patterns you're expected to know in order to find anything. ugh, I could rant for hours on how obtuse macos is (mainly because I have to interact with it for work right now - if you force me to use windows, I'll rant about that too)

      The nice thing about Linux is you can pick a DE that apes whatever OS you're used to so the transition from Windows or Mac to desktop Linux can be very painless.

        dear god if I could just run xmonad and dmenu on windows or mac I'd hate employers that tried to force me to use one or the other so much less.

          oh my god another xmonad user. You can get almost close with some paid tiling window managers in mac but you can't recreate the managed layouts of xmonad.
