> The only two reasons to use Windows or Mac are: - your workplace / school requires it because of specific software - you want to play games with absolutely no issues Have you ever met someone who preferred Windows or Mac? I know many, many software engineers who prefer Windows or Mac as their daily driver AND development machine. Believe it or not, there are people who develop apps for iOS. They use macOS, and frankly the experience is pretty great. There are also people who develop apps for Windows. This, of course, is possible on Linux. However again, the experience on Windows is pretty great too. With macOS in particular, although I hate to say it, their unified ecosystem is the best available. Nothing comes close to macOS/iPadOS/iOS/watchOS/tvOS integration that works with all of their apps seamlessly. Sure, I prefer Linux for _some_ software development, however for a daily driver macOS has a lot of advantages that Linux currently can't offer. The open-source ecosystem still has a ways to go in man regards, and it has its fair share of problems. > Use actual Linux, WSL should only be considered if you actually need Windows to be your daily driver, which I doubt. It's just an added layer of confusion and you'll end up confused as to where Windows ends and Linux begins. This statement leads me to believe that you haven't tried WSL, or perhaps that you only tried a very very early beta stage.
