I love macOS and Linux. Even Windows is acceptable, especially now with WSL. IMO, if it runs emacs, who cares what the OS is?
When it comes to hardware, Apple is a few years ahead, however. Battery life and screen technology are quality-of-life factors, especially for people who often work away from home and without an external monitor.
That, and the accessories. Going from AirPods Pro to wired headphones would be a major inconvenience as I have an active lifestyle -- even my linux box supports bluetooth headphones, and it's nice to be able to get up from the computer without taking them off.

- hef19898 5y agoOne of my biggest issues with modern day phone sis the lack of a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Wired headphones mean total device compatibility (true plug and play), no battery issues and less risk of loosing them somewhere. Also, they are cheaper at comparable audio quality (and that is all I care about with headphones).
- abawany 5y agoThey seem to be making a comeback, at least on the mid-range: the Pixel 3a/4a/5a I think had headphone jacks as does the Gigaset GS4.
- dreamcompiler 5y agoThere's no reason a computer or phone can't have both Bluetooth and a headphone jack. Mine do, and I use both.
