I rate Linux DE higher than I do windows and Mac desktop tbh. Better ergonomics, better user experience and less bloat.

I could never get smooth scrolling to work on Linux in any mainstream web browser, most people don’t seem to see it, but I’m sensitive to things like that.

Imho that was somewhat true on x11 but on wayland I feel everything is much smoother. I am more a pgup/pgdown user though.

Like with a laptop trackpad? I'm smooth-scrolling through these comments right now, and don't remember when scrolling wasn't smooth by default on any trackpad.

It’s smooth to a point, but not smooth like OS X is. It might have improved (I think I last tried desktop Linux a year ago). I do enjoy using Linux as my default headless OS.

NOT SMOOTH SCROLLING!

I need a few accessibility settings and Mac just excels in this regard.

I not only need a GUI/Desktop, it's my daily driver!

And there are precious few things that Windows GUI/Desktop provides which I don't have on Linux, while the reverse is never true.

When I used Mac (Big Sur, I think?) until a year ago, I was absolutely miserable about having to use such a primitive GUI.

I have a GUI/Desktop on Linux, not sure what you're referring to?
