My strategy is to go all-in on Apple as my daily drivers, and then to tinker with Linux in my spare time. For example, my main phone is an iPhone, but I recently bought a used OnePlus 6 with the intention of installing NixOS on it. My laptop is an M1 MacBook Air, but I code in Linux VMs, and have a Linux NAS at home. As many of my services as possible are self-hosted, and as many of my apps as possible are FOSS, but I access them with Apple hardware. And as my M-series Macs age, they'll become Asahi machines. This is the best compromise I've found. The truth is, Apple stuff still does Just Work, and having an actual Unix base is nice too. Open standards and protocols can get you a long way away from the walled garden aspect of Apple to the point where really they're just nice computers that don't really infringe on my life in any way.
