All my serious use notebooks run on Mac OS, my gaming PC on Windows, and my servers on Linux (I do keep an old-ish Thinkpad with Kali for tinkering).
The hardware+software combination of MacOS is unbeatable in terms of things like battery life and overall reliability, and it's a Unix, so the command line is almost the same. The M-series are a beast.
Linux has always been messy for desktop use for me (I've been using it since 1994). Sound always gives me trouble, and getting the power profiles right takes way too much work.
It tends to get in the way whenever I want to get something done, which happens a lot less often for Macs. A large part of it is the hardware, I'm sure, but still. I value my time.
Servers are fine, fewer hardware quirks to deal with.

Sounds like you've been using a distro with bad defaults and/or poorly supported hardware. I challenge you to use a decent distro like Fedora, on a well-supported hardware like a ThinkPad, and see if you have the same issues. Speaking as a ThinkPad Z13 + Fedora user who literally never had any audio or power profile issues... or any issue for that matter.
