I would agree, except substitute Plasma for Gnome 3.

Sure, that is just a matter of taste. But no matter which window manager you choose, running Linux, you are actually released from the Apple prison (technical and mental prison).

(Speaking as a current user of an old MacBook Pro which is my first and last Apple product. Also I had an iPad but sold it long ago.)

I smashed my Nexus 6P's screen and have been using a friend's old iPhone 4s in the meantime as my old Androids were either damaged or totally dead beyond recharging. Disregarding the sluggishness of the phone (it is 5 years old...), there are so many things that even a stock android rom will allow me to customize that iOS doesn't even think about.

I just cracked open my old Droid Razr to jumpstart the battery so I could get back to android until my replacement 6P comes.
