Yes and no. MacOS is basically the year of the Unix desktop for a while now and it’s still powerful and user friendly. Just fire up a terminal and it’s Unix. The benefit they have is hardware control so stuff just works and no driver hardware issues etc…
I agree. Linux is great when one has the time but not the money.
However for a system that just works - MacOS is one of the best bsd distros of all time esp on arm.
Sadly MacOS also comes with the downfalls of a closed and proprietary ecosystem.

Have you used Linux lately? It really doesn’t take any more time than anything else.

Yes, I have yet to have a zero-config experience even on vertical (but open) platforms like RasberryPi. What has been your experience?
GPU, Sound, WiFi Day 0 / 1 / 365 are not yet on par with MacOS or Win11, for me, anyway.
For me, it is important to recognize there is a larger time investment, otherwise how does it get better?
I have on servers as I run my own lemmy server. I do like Linux desktop but macOS just works for my work and home laptop.
