Me too. Long term support Linux is looking better by the day. I'm not
sure if there's a way to transfer Linux based Mac tools to it, though.

Depends a lot on the linux distro. A lot of them are much worse than Windows
or OSX in that regard. Even Red Hat has gone to systemd and the new gnome
bloatware. Linux gets a whole lot of change-for-change's-sake these days
which is very disturbing.

I find systemd an improvement, its journal has helped me multiple
times.

I run Mint LongTime Support versions, with XFCE desktop, a bit like
Windows XP. I don't like the fat desktops like Gnome. Plus, XFCE has
a bar only at the bottom, and you can add monitors for CPU, disk and
network load, which I like.
