For the most part agree, but I am very open to hearing about what benefits
people think they have on Linux. So far, for the GUI, the big "benefits" are
mostly these two:

* Window widgets (things such as window shade and keeping the window
  on top)

* Copy on select (a mixed blessing)

To be fair it is hard to list many for Windows, but Windows has the
advantage of having a massive amount of support from pretty much every
company and LOTS of software that is designed for it and its UI. Meanwhile
macOS has lots of tools to help boost productivity (and some absurd limits
on what you can as well).

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
