Interesting 🤓 I see a lot of answers from a lot of hard core Linux guys but I can't relate to them because I don't have the time or desire to constantly tinker with my OS. I too came from Windows background into a startup where no one used Windows and had to make a choice - always figure out how to make something work on Windows or switch to Linux or Mac. So I chose Mac, got used to it, set it up the way I need and able to run everything without any major issues. My dev environment just works and I am able to focus on my job without burning extra time maintaining my OS. I have a few older laptops at home running Linux Mint and they work great for basic user stuff but even then I see that certain software titles like Zoom work better on Mac or Windows. And that's the root of the issue to me - it doesn't matter how good you are with OS if the software you use is not maintained on Linux as well as it is on Windows or Mac so I guess one's experience on Linux may be highly dependent on the hardware and the software used, where on the popular desktop OSes it's a lot less of an issue.
