It's probably because like most Linux users, he ends up tinkering with 
the system rather than actually getting things done. All MacOS desktops 
more or less look the same but it doesn't matter because most Mac users 
see their machine as a tool to accomplish a task. With Windows, it's 
often the case too but there is always a distraction to keep people away 
from their work. With Linux, it seems to be nothing but distractions.
