Windows, but that’s mainly an availability issue. If the school computers had MacOS, I’d learn that. Actually to me, the Mac UI looks nicer.

I agree with the availability point. All of the educational institutes I've studied/worked at have been primarily Windows. In fact, the one school I worked at which had a Mac suite, my first job was swapping them all out for Windows machines! 😮 I also don't think there's anything wrong with liking Mac's slick UI either. Have you ever considered using a VM to learn the MacOS?

Yes, but I still would need a licensed copy of the OS to load on my VM (I use VirtualBox)

This is true. I'm not sure if Apple make an OS installer freely available or not 🤔.
