My daily drivers are MacOS and Fedora (with Windows on my Surface Book), but I'm a software engineer, not the average person.
I would love for Linux on the desktop to be viable for the average person, but there isn't really a built-in option that can beat Windows at what it's good at, and that's backwards compatibility, and a clean interface that users know. The attitude of "well, Linux is just better" hasn't worked for decades, and it never will until there is a distro that prioritises that (hard) switch.
