I've been running Linux for about 20 years. My previous two employers furnished me with Macs, so I got used to MacOS over five years of usage. But I still found Linux easier to use: MacOS doesn't "just work" nearly as much as advertised, in my experience (especially for dev workflows). My new company is a Windows shop, and I'm actually finding it surprisingly pleasant—to the point that I'm seriously considering using Windows 10 full-time for personal use as well. I don't come to this decision lightly: I'd been anti-"M$" for a number of years, to the point of writing a paper in high school advocating for them to be broken up (back around year 2000). Looking at the trajectory of recent OS releases from my experience: - Linux: Still tends to lag behind a bit in hardware compatibility (as is expected), but quite pleasant to use—especially when staying on the stable/LTS releases. - MacOS: Not sure if I can identify the last release that actually made my life easier. - Windows: I see a fair amount of real innovation, and they seem committed to reducing paper cuts.
