KDE on CentOS doesn't solve this problem either. CentOS, OpenSUSE, RHEL are also the only usable well supported linux distros with an actual company backing them with proper timely security patches and the only ones anyone should ever bother using.

Sadly loonix is just stuck in 1995 usability where it will stay for the rest of this decade and probably the next decade as well.

IT manager here.

We use all three OSs, because each has its use.

Windows on desktop - Proper well supported desktop OS for all employees to get shit done. Full suite and backend tools for managing the entire fleet from IT dept.

Windows on servers - Excellent as domain controllers for management purposes, linux DCs also serve as good backup DCs. Exchange is tolerable. It's annoying when it breaks but frankly no one has ever come up with a better solution with all the functionality it offers, so there's no real alternative.

Linux on servers - Lean stable single purpose servers that are easy to troubleshoot as they can be reduced down to minimal services.

Linux on desktop - A complete joke and completely unsuitable for anything besides software development. If someone even suggests putting it on a machine that's used by marketing/accounting/engineering/etc, that someone is going to be looking forward to a performance review and a new job.

OSX on desktop - Flashy brightly colored rounded buttons GUI and fancy animations. Lets the CEO think he's hip and trendy despite the fact he's a 300lb landwhale.

OSX on servers - Good joke.

As it is now my computer runs and runs well and works for weeks on end. If I wanted shiny bells and whistles it'd be less hassle to upgrade to Tumbleweed than it would to install Leap. Only thing I care is fresh and updated is mpv and Packman does a nice job of keeping up with that (and time before last I checked didn't even support Leap).

This is literally THE ONLY REASON to ever use linux besides development, and even that's starting to lose traction now that windows server core has come out and integrates better with other windows servers.

Exactly.
Linux, as a desktop client, always feels half-baked. There's always some minor thing not working correctly or missing.

There are also regressions every few months after installing updates with things breaking which worked fine before.
