I like how everybody is giving you shit. Having used all three fairly recently:
The desktop Linux environment has never been worse. With Wayland and High DPI, you're kinda forced to use KDE or Gnome to have a smooth experience. Other desktop environments are either bad at Wayland or bad at DPI scaling. But even the two poster children for Linux desktop environments are plagued by issues. Those are always minor or temporary but sometimes breaking something critically. I've had web pages just put KDE into a loop. Always crashing and then restarting. And that was weeks ago. And this happens every time. The install I had before that with gnome made every DPI scales app blurry. This simply does not happen on Windows.
Regqrsing Macs: I don't trust Apple to not do something stupid either but also at least until the 15 inch MacBook air you either lived with 13 inch or you paid a lot more. Need more than one external screen? That's mbp for you. More ports? Mbp. Better GPU? Mbp. And then we really quickly get into a price range where you are comparing the most expensive Windows machines (which actually have some build quality) vs a mid range 14 inch mbp.
I like the arm machines but I'm personally not convinced that anything past the base model is actually worth it. Especially outside of the high CoL areas of the US. Like, if you compare rent payment per week to the cost of the machine, you can totally see why Macs sell so well in US urban centers.
