The current desktop os market is rather depressing. Here's a short overview.
:windows:: ALL YOUR DATUM ARE BELONG TO US! But hey, here's some Candy Crush in your start menu
No, you must update you system first or we will do it for you 
Windows 10S: what's setup.exe lol?
: Our new incredible unbelievable fucking amazing system will make you 10x more creative and provide truly awesome experience 
But only on our hardware. No, we don't do desktops anymore, except this box. What? Yes, it is twice as slow as your Threadripper rig with nvidia while at the same time four times more expensive*. But look how shiny it is! Also we hate nvidia.
* The stand is sold separately for only $999.99
: Yes, it's free. But only if you hate yourself and have a lot of time on your hands. And we'll fuck up your favorite filesystem because we hate the license it's under, even though it's 
-approved. And our developers all hate each other. And many of them hate you as well.
:archlinux:: btw I use arch lol
:debian:: No, this software was released after 1997, so we can't include it because it's too new.
:gentoo:: INSTALL GENTOO! You already installed gentoo? INSTALL GENTOO AGAIN!
Any wayland distro: We hate nvidia too! High five !
NixOS: no free space available
(yes, some use it as a desktop os lol): Welcome to GOOLAG! Here's an ad. Here's another one. Ooops! Your phone is no longer supported! 
:freebsd:: We need new developers to become cooler than, so we're gonna hire a diversity consultant and implement this new shiny code of conduct while at the same time totally disregarding any concerns of our users and old developers! Wait, why are our old developers leaving the project? Where have our donations gone? Oh crap... 
:openbsd:: You want a good desktop experience? Fuck you! Want drivers for your hardware? Fuck you! Want good performance? Fuck you! All those things prevent us from making our system secure! And by secure, we mean lacking any software that could be exploited. And no, that CVE totally didn't count! No, that another one didn't count either! Actually, go fuck yourself anyway!
Did I miss anything?

@newt Linux has an excellent file system, but yes the operating system is very demanding for the user, but in my opinion Linux is the best and most versatile system at the moment.
I plan to install Trisquel and guix for interest (in my humble opinion guix is not very much appreciated).

@Gamercat which one is excellent? Because I use ZFS and it's excellent, but Greg KH hates it for some reason. On the other hand, Greg KH is an asshole.
@newt Btrfs is not bad for servers, but in general it is necessary to choose an operating system for your tasks, preferences and knowledge of working with it.

ZFS might not be supported by the latest kernels, but it works! BTRFS, well… sometimes it unironically just dies — there were quite a few very prominent cases even here on Fedi. Yes, they should've been doing backups, but that's beside the point.
So it's not the best idea to use it on the server — and on client machine I just don't need any of that!
