I'm honestly torn.

I was a big Linux proponent for a while, then Apple won me over with Macs for a time. They did "just work" for my day-to-day(DevOps).

However, last spring, I bought a new personal system for freelance work/side projects, and have been running Ubuntu as my daily driver. Funny enough, it seems like during that same period the my UX on my work-supplied Mac(2019-era MBP) has been steadily declining. I've been dealing with maddening slowdowns and numerous bluetooth issues(with Airpods no less!).

Conversely, I find working on the Ubuntu machine much more enjoyable, and I'm exploring the option of getting a Linux machine supplied by work as well. I'll caveat by saying it took some time to hone in on solid configurations, tweaks, and a good DE/WM(i3wm), but I gotta say Linux is winning me back over.

All that being said, I'm not deluded enough to think Linux(in its current state) is ever going to make inroads with Apple's consumer/pro-sumer userbase. It's still very much an enthusiast option in my mind.

Mac's aren't even that great for DevOps. You get horrible out of date GNU things like bash 3 and are almost forced to upgrade and install a lot of stuff via brew at which point you also could have installed a Linux.

The new AirPods-related bullshit that broke existing functionality pushed me to switch to Linux for day to day work. It's a downgrade in certain ways, but at least I can actually join calls reliably.
