I was trying to do the opposite transition a couple of years ago (Ubuntu+Unity -> MacOS), and the Mac feels so clunky in comparison - I eventually switched back to Ubuntu, though I might try again soon. Some of it is just unfamiliarity, some of it is trivia that is hard to get used to (I've been binding alt-shift to some actions for the three decades - and the Mac won't let me do that), and part of it is the Mac crapping all over my directories with DS_Store files and whatever. Part of it was the inconvenience of having to buy a lot of thing I could earlier "apt-get". I would probably have spent $500 on things, glad to support the ecosystem, but it's from 10 different vendors, each with their own terms-of-service and mail and having to register and stuff. I would gladly buy it through the app-store if they were available there, but none of those I wanted were. But the biggest thing is, I hardly got anything from the Mac that I didn't already have with Ubuntu; I do science, programming, and a little bit of movie watching / internet browsing - no multimedia production. Ubuntu is just as good, if not better, than MacOS for those things. Never had an issue with sleep/hibernate not working in Linux. The things I did get from the mac: (And the reason I was trying to switch): Better hardware (especially screen, touchpad), better battery life, lighter weight. But overall, for me, they were not enough for the inconveniences.
