    Your post smells of someone, who only uses their computer for fairly limited tasks.

    Office/Adobe

    There’s so much software around serious work, creativity, and productivity, that doesn’t exist for linux or is meh. CAD, audio, video, music production.

    The main reasons I use macOS are GarageBand and apps for DJing. Anything audio still breaks far too often on linux or is otherwise a pain.

    OmniGraffle is so fantastically great, there’s no linux equivalent. The Affinity suite of alternative applications to Adobe is fantastic and far above any linux alternative.

    The nicest GUI application for git, nor the best diff and merge tool aren’t available for Linux.

    Besides that getting support for commercial software is usually much better than for FOSS.

    who the hell ever needs this?

    People who love details and crisp fonts and thus own high density resolution screens.

    HDR: did not even bother to learn what is

    You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.

      Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.

      But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.

      GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look

      Got me a hundred percent 🙂. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics
