Yes, I would run macOS - beyond my hardware issues and as much as I love open source desktops there's still too many software pains I have as well. Evolution has a terrible UI and does not play nicely with calendars on Exchange servers (I frequently find my attendance status has not been sent, plus it often won't show me the status of attendees to meetings I have sent out), Akonadi's EWS provider likes to randomly freeze up trying to sync my mailbox (which is large, but people have larger IMAP inboxes with GMail) so Kontact/KMail isn't a great solution either.
VMWare's stupid kernel modules are always breaking in one way or another as well, plus I never get guest 3D support because of the switchable graphics in my laptop and I just cannot be bothered to fight and fight to get it to work. I tried using gnome-boxes instead for a while, but audio inside the guest would constantly get garbled and have cuts, support for guest drivers beyond VirtIO disk/network was hit and miss.
I've got more, but I don't want to make it into a rant about the state of the Linux desktop - because for all the problems I have I still love it, but I need a computer and software that works smoothly out of the box because I have work to get done.
