that's really ignoring two big points. 1. windows and macs don't "just work" either... they have their fair share of pain points that you have to accept and/or workaround. 2. linux is different than windows and is different than macos in the sense that you've spent a long time learning the quirks of windows and macos and have the fixes mostly ready. once you learn the quirks of linux it's basically the same.
After the learning curve of linux desktop(well kde) it's basically the same as macos for me and for most people that would use it. most of the computing is done in the browser and that's basically the same experience in any os.
if you enable history substring search in zsh you can get that feature anywhere in the command and not just the start. it's very useful if you remember some snippet of the command like it had the word debug in it etc. in fish that is built in and on by default.
though one function that i recently added will narrow your history down based on a space separated set of filters which i found useful
function hgrep
set -l cmd history
for pattern in $argv
set cmd "$cmd | grep -- "(string escape "$pattern")
end
eval $cmd | cat
end
use `hgrep ruby debug foo` would filter for a line that contained all the words ruby, debug and foo.

This concept is called normalization of deviance and is the cause of a lot of accidents in aviation and other fields.
mind you those numbers are seconds until the cvr stopped recording. they were a few hundred feet from the end of the runway when they initiated the go around and like the other poster said the turbines do take time to spool up from idle. they were so far out of normal spec for landing that it was absolutely pilot fault but not at the far end of the runway. they were not stabilized on approach way further back about 5 min or so. (if you're not stabilized on approach you are required to go around). they even called for flaps 30 halfway down the runway which is also not allowed for a stabilized approach.
if you reset the keyboard shortcuts to their defaults and install toshy you can get the ctrl-a/e stuff and copy and paste in the command line with cmd-c/v and a lot of the other mac like keyboard shortcuts. it's really plug and play and works well... can't recommend it enough. (though there are some edge cases that may require some tweaks but overall it's great)
there was a time in history before fungus came along and ate trees so there were just a huge amount of trees around that couldn't decay. (which is why we have coal actually) this could be something akin to that.
I've heard that the prevailing theory now is that it wasn't the lack of fungus that made coal. Instead, the earth was covered in tropical wetlands, and trees couldn't decay in the anoxic water.
