It's probably because like most Linux users, he ends up tinkering with
the system rather than actually getting things done. All MacOS desktops
more or less look the same but it doesn't matter because most Mac users
see their machine as a tool to accomplish a task. With Windows, it's
often the case too but there is always a distraction to keep people away
from their work. With Linux, it seems to be nothing but distractions.

Bullshit. I use Linux for the same things I used Windows for (when I still
used Windows). Email, writing, streaming movies, some forums, OCR scanning,
listening to music and using the for Internet news and research. What most
people use their computers for at home. Linux is more efficient than either
Windows or Macs (I know, I've tried both — both are crap in my opinion).
