I have hardly touched a Mac (mostly trying it out in Apple shops) and used Windows almost daily in the workplace.
I have been full-time GNU/Linux at home, though... since around 2005. Other than the learning curve + trial-and-errors, I hardly have any issues with networking or even nvidia cards.
There was one time when the wifi did not work. From memory, I think the kernel version I was using did not support it. Other than that, I cannot say I share the same issues.
In the early days I tried many distros. Started with Ubuntu. I even tried Slackware. Today, I mostly stick with Debian but like to keep an eye on GuixOS.
There was one contract job I took which I used Debian exclusively. Everyone else was using Macs. I did not have any loss by comparison other than converting some videos for a web application. I was missing some video formats. For development, I had emacs, apache, etc... no problem. They had their vim, or objective-C, for their applications, etc.
