Some of the newest Linux client builds are very visually appealing and are very easy to use. It can tailored to meet a huge variety of client needs, from near real-time embedded, to appliances, to full blown desktop clients that arguably give Windows and macOS a run for there money, at least on the UX side, for some folks at least, and for people who want to squeeze out a few more years of productive life from older platforms with limited resources.

I don’t want to take anything away from the dedicated team working on this but it looks like it is about 25 years beyond its point of potential commercial relevance if their intention is truly to take away share from Windows or macOS, I.e., “give them a run for their money.” In macOS’s case, there is no money to be taken away since Apple doesn’t charge for macOS.
