X vs Y is always very opinionated and I too myself want to express my frustration/gratitude towards a single option. Sadly, life is life and a single option will not suit everybody. In my professional experience I have switched between Linux and Mac a couple of times.

2015-2017 Linux Yay, happy to work for real.

2017-2019 Linux I love Linux. So many things I can configure, i3 is the best.

2019-2021 Mac Ok, got tired of various configuration options and my set up wasn't perfect still...

2021-2022 Linux Grr! Mac is so limiting. Just look at Fedora Silverblue and its immutable file system. ThinkPad's keyboard is the best!

2023- Mac Macbook M2 works really great out of the box. Hibernation works :whoa:

For me I've noticed that I do get tired of a single OS after a while and want to try something new. Switching to a different OS gives me a clean slate for experimenting.
