With Windows and macOS, the OS you get is a full package. That's also
largely true of most desktop Linux distros, which ship with a default
desktop like GNOME or KDE. The difference is that Linux is built as
loosely coupled layers (kernel, display server, window manager, desktop
environment, toolkit), so you can swap pieces more easily, though mixing
them can get messy. macOS is also UNIX (certified, in fact) and has the
same kind of layering underneath, but Apple tightly coordinates
everything and doesn't let you replace the GUI layer. That makes
swapping effectively impossible, but it allows for polish and
consistency. Windows sits in the middle: you can't replace the window
system, but third-party shells and theming tools exist. Each approach
has pros and cons.
