Desktop Linux is so good today that I have not turned on my Mac in 4 years. Sorry your experience has been so bad, but for ease of programming it is a black-and-white decision. Even Windows is a less excruciating Linux development environment, modern MacOS is a veritable dumpsterfire.

Unless one does 3D development, or real time audio processing.

My Asus Linux netbook, bought with Linux support, never had the same OpenGL support level as on the Windows drivers.

And in what concerns hardware video decoding, it only worked during Flash glory days, never managed to get it working with VAAPI.
