Exactly. For hobby I’ll tinker with Linux. It doesn’t matter if there’s weird bugs and quarks, if I have time I’ll try and figure out what’s happening.

For my money maker I need it to work reliably 100% of the time. I don’t want to ever tinker with drivers. I just want it to work in a polished way.

In my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, I lose about a day a year to weird Linux quirks, and I run an extremely non-standard setup that has accumulated over the course of the last ~20 years. Back when I was using a Mac full-time, (~2010ish), I lost much more than that to things not working the way I needed them to. While I'll freely admit that a large part of this is that I have an unusually in-depth knowledge of how Linux works, my knowledge from 20 years ago is still useful, whereas it felt like every OSX update made a big chunk of my knowledge of the internals obsolete. I barely recognize a modern OSX system.
