All of my Macs have been way more problematic than my Windows and Linux systems. Certain keyboards and mice don't even work on a Mac, so good luck with that. My Mac Pro 2012 wouldn't even boot unless a dual link DVI cable was plugged in, until I upgraded the video card to a rx580 so I could get to Mojave. Also every so often I'll get a macOS update that will just break shit all over the place (I also have a MacBook Pro 2015).
My (Manjaro) Linux desktops are the most problem free of them all. Updates just work. Installing new software just works. All of my common hardware works with it.
Windows I now use only for gaming and watching streaming stuff on the TV. It works well enough for that. I tried using my old Mac pro for that in my exercise room but it will only wake up with the wired Apple keyboard and not a wireless Logitech K400 which works fine with every other computer in the house. For programming I got sick of all the layers of crap and extra configuration I had to do to deal with Windows. Linux is much smoother for running docker and common web development run times, tools, etc. My Macs are for doing Apple stuff. If it weren't for iOS I would throw them in the garbage.
