Oh you'll find new entries for the list. Linux on the desktop is nowhere near macOS. I'm saying this as a huge fan of Linux on the server, who frequently tries it on desktops.

There is no Linux desktop experience that is consistent, or coherent. You'll frequently want to use software that happens to be made for the other window manager, and suddenly you have different keyboard layouts depending on the window that's active. Toolbars are sometimes on top, sometimes in the window. Sleep absolutely definitely will never work, unless you muck around in the kernel for a bit. Then it works but your wifi cuts off when you're playing music.

Most of design is either created by people who want to punish you for leaving the command line, or these people who put blinking, nascar-style ornaments into their water-cooled, wall-mounted, intel-inside-stickered towers.

Oh, and battery life on Skylake is about half of what a Macbook gets.
