I'd go back to Linux if the community managed to solve problems with graphics and monitor support. Having read the thread from the other day about desktop environments, it definitely doesn't sound like Linux has made any meaningful progress in the last 10 years. Apparently supporting HDPI is still problematic, only some monitors and resolutions work properly, and horizontal tearing is still a thing. I couldn't tell you how Wayland has made anything better, because people seem to be reporting the same annoying problems that made me leave Linux behind a decade ago.
This isn't to say that Linux can't work for some people. I'm at a point where I find life to be way too short to configure a Linux setup to temporarily work the way I want before an update inevitably breaks things or features are removed because someone didn't feel like supporting them. So far, my Mac has managed to do everything I've wanted without any deal breakers, and I have no reason to move away from it yet.
