Anecdotes and all, but yes this has been my experience too. macOS is by far the fastest to get up and running on. Linux distros probably come in second, with the caveat that it's easy to get sucked into a time-burning black hole of fine-grained tweaks if I don't make a point of keeping things close to default. Windows is downright frustrating because even after spending considerable time on setup, there are things that just don't work correctly — for example, changing virtual desktops independent of monitor is not possible with the built-in implementation.
