I rarely use closed source software. My exceptions are

Windows
- Because I need to run
  - Photoshop
DuckDuckGo (actually good FOSS search engine when?)
Vivaldi

Vivaldi just works so wonderful. Once you use it you can't go back (Check out the in browser mail client). I really wish they were FOSS though.

It doesn't matter to me how much better Vivaldi works over Firefox or even Base Chromium. TBH, this is just something I'm willing to sacrifice in the name of FLOSS. iPhones and Macs are amazingly user friendly too, but I still avoid them like the plague because of Apple's absolute hatred of FLOSS and especially Right to Repair.

Well, would you not say UX ease depends on audience? I love me a bunch of fast CLI tools on Linux, and nothing comes close to processing thousands of JPGs as jpegoptim. I also like GUI tools. Ease of use is contextual, and in fact a lot of people struggle with Apple devices that are familiar with Windows and Android.

Vivaldi is closed source, and I am going to avoid closed source stuff that acts as a gateway host for me to access the internet.

Windows can be used inside a VM, and GPU passthrough is easy to do with KVM.
