As a professional in software engineering, nothing comes close to a linux desktop. I always found OSx to be in the uncanny valley between CLI-driven BSD and a desktop GUI. I'll give you that windows after 7 is a complete adware clusterfuck and not even worth the dvd it's printed on, but I have to say...linux on desktop may not be popular, but only because it didn't take off a decade ago and people are still sour. It's actually pretty great nowadays, and if you want to squeeze every last bit of juice out of your hardware, it's the way to go. I get the appeal of a solid macbook for sure. But for me, the price tag is completely unjustifiable given the alternatives. It is without a doubt almost 80% about looks, acceptance, and feeling over actual specs. People buy them because other people have them and they want to be in the club. And that's fine, no judgement, but it's a waste of money. Also the only reason they have any form of dominance at all is the fact that they lock down their shitty OS to only run on their hardware. Sure they get to control the "expeeeriennnnce" but nobody else does that.
