For me personally Windows/Linux falls under the same umbrella: I'm going to largely use it as it comes from my favorite distro (or microsoft) with slight tweaks that rarely break anything. These tweaks are usually accessible via settings panels (or regedit) For MacOS: Instead of tweaking things internally I have to reach out to third party application developers to fix things the OS lacks. Some examples: bettersnaptool to give me modern window snapping like Windows/Linux, or the Android File Transfer so I can actually access my phone. Either way I'm having to make changes to get cozy, MacOS just means I'm going to be handing money to a few thirdparty devs by the end of it in order to get it to behave like I'm used to OS's behaving. Maybe that's my fault from growing up mostly in a Windows/Linux environment besides the few years I spent in OS8/9 in college. I'm comfortable in all the major operating systems. It just cost more for me to get comfortable in MacOS. Not that it's a bad thing, dev's need money too.
