As a desktop (or as a server) I think that far better OSes were designed (Solaris comes in mind) but unfortunately none of those can run on a modern hardware nor run modern apps.
So Linux is still good because its design is acceptable, there is a great community, and when a vendor decides to throw what you like out the window you can still use it as long as you'd like (look at MATE and Trinity for Gnome 2 / KDE 3.5 fans).
On other OSes you have no other choice than to get restricted release after release. By example, MacOS 10.15 makes network calls before starting processes rendering the system slow overall and unbreathable for developers. As for Windows, I have to use it regularly and there is so many bugs (especially hardware bugs) than anybody thinking that Linux has driver issues didn't compare Windows and Linux for a long time. Needless to also say that their UX choices are more and more dividing and you have no say in it.
Also I could go on and on about why I hate the Windows and OSX user interfaces or why the Mac keyboard is so dumb but that's a matter of taste and fingers flexibility.
So why I still use Linux? Because I know it's not going to fuck me in the butt when I don't expect it. In short
Don't bet on software whose source you don't have — Libre software is essential for a long-term strategy
Don't rely on capitalistic companies to make choices that are in your best interest
If you don't go buy some hardware that Linux can't handle then everything is going to be smooth (you wouldn't install OSX on a PC would you? Same thing here)
