It’s not just a one off though, I’ve used windows everyday, at home or at work since windows existed, I also used Linux on the desktop full time for about eight years, it wasn’t a couple months of me trying something and not liking it. Now I’ve been using windows and Mac OS on desktops at home and at work for the past 11ish years —- while still working with Linux and windows servers everyday for the past 20 years. I’m pretty familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of all of these systems, and I agree, if you value configurability a lot, Linux can be a nice desktop —- but I’m not wrong for not valuing that. What I want is a desktop experience with fewer rough edges than what I’ve gotten from Linux so I can just write my app code and not worry about drivers or whatever. I think you’re being pretty silly if you’re trying to tell me Mac OS hardware support on macs has a comparable number of rough edges to Linux on random x hardware — because no I haven’t had Mac hardware incompatibility issues with Mac OS, that’s almost the whole point of what they do, and the knock on effect is their limited hardware options— but that’s a trade off that works for me, and it works for a lot of other people.
