Well, how long ago was the last time you've tried it? Major desktop environments have cleaned up their act quite a bit recently.

  Given your other reply, it seems that most of your problems are due to you having not well compatible hardware, you wouldnt blame macos for not running well on a hackintosh.

    Oh here we go again. Someone blaming the hardware. Every damn time. A hackintosh isn't even comparable. I tried it on a stock Lenovo T14 gen 3 and a new Intel 14500 crate with both integrated graphics and a 4060 and a Lenovo T495s. The issues were persistent across all three machines. Can you imagine a typical dumb end user hitting one of these problems and you telling them: "buy a new computer". Hell no. The damn software should work properly.

      All I got for this is that mac is for dumb users?

        That can be turned the other way around. Who would rationally waste their time arguing with something to get it working when something that works is already available?

        In my case I fight with the mac like with a pig until I get it to have a sane ruby/git/postgres/redis/docker dev env with tiled windows. Mind you, the tiled windows are so that I can look at an IDE, tests/logs and a browser without option + tabbing all the time -- simple stuff. Then a couple of months down the road I do it again, because it randomly breaks after an update, while on top of that fonts look worse and somehow the UI is even less consistent than Gnome's. How the hell does one even achieve that after so many breaking changes to GTK...

    Nope. I give Linux serious shots at least once a year. Never sticks. The desktop environments are always shit. I even built a specific, compatible pc last february to go with linux. It now runs a headless Fedora server in my study.
