Background : I am IT for 25 years, run Linux on all servers (pro and home), develop open source.

I tried to use Linux desktop at least 5 times over the last years (again a few days ago on the home shared laptop).

It is ok-ish when I use the browser and IDEs (vcs, pycharm) but anything else is horrendous. I looked for an equivalent of ShareX, I felt like I was 25 again.

Linux desktop is on for the 86% if the train which only uses a browser ("Internet") but I doubt anything more specialized is reasonable. Not that Linux desktop is bad (though it is not good either), it's because there are no ports of that specialized software.

If someone is fully (apps, I mean) html5 then why not.
