You don't have to be best, just better than the alternative.
MacOS comes with specialized set of hardware. So good luck tailoring Mac, without it costing like an average Ferrari.
Linux is just worse for average user. Not average HN user, mind you. But people who struggle to figure out print screen.
I fought with Linux in the past. It's death by thousand gremlin bites.
Big part of that is lack of drivers, but there are also major fractures in the space: Gnome vs KDE, X.org vs Wayland, etc.

I wanted to set up a small pi box that i could just keep with me and code on in my downtime. I of course could just use a laptop but this whole setup fit in a small stethoscope case and would get me more used to linux. There's just SO many small things that don't quite work right, and the attitude of the userbase unfortunately tilts towards elitist if not downright hostile. I still want to learn more and get better with it, but I spend enough of my time at work reading doc's and trying to debug, I don't love when my freetime feels almost the same.
