I'd love to agree with this. My heart is with Linux. But nah. I run Linux and MacOS for work and privately. For "I want zero configuration, just give me a default work environment!" Ubuntu and MacOS are both acceptable, but MacOS is both slightly nicer and degrades less over time, i.e. the amount of sketchy behavior the operating system does after it's been installed for a while increases faster with Ubuntu, in my experience. For "I want a highly customized work environment", you do get a better end product with Linux, although you can customize MacOS very decently, too. But it comes at the cost of sinking countless hours into your setup. That's why I still use Linux, because I can get exactly the setup that I want. Except really good battery management and hardware support. I only sometimes get suspend, and I can sometimes play games on Steam, depending on the mood of the distro, how long it's been on my computer, and how much I sacrificed to the gods. For software development with a persistent power supply, Linux friggin' rocks. With a good enough laptop, the battery usage probably isn't a problem at all. For "I want really good integration with my phone", you just don't have anything that looks like MacOS'es integration with iPhone. Sorry. I have a lot of quality-of-life experiences with MacOS that are entirely possible to set up with Linux (e.g. syncing on many levels), but I never got around to setting them up on Linux, and I just got them all-inclusive on Apple's platform.
