Plot twist: It looks like they are back on the Mac. [1]

And so it goes. You look at almost all of these "I'm switching from Mac to (Linux|Windows 10)!" blog posts and they're almost always back to the Mac within weeks/months.

I've attempted to go back to Linux plenty of times, and while the kernel and userspace is top notch, every GUI I've tried just pales in comparison to even the trainwreck that is the current macOS experience.

This is a different author at Monadical. The author of this article still uses Linux. (Source: I work at said company.)
