Or install Linux for free and have a better OS than either.

Your tone deaf suggestion precisely underlies why Linux is not dominant. Obviously the question is about the MacOS environment, whether good or bad. No amount of installing any of the tens of thousands of quirky Linux distros will e.g., give you Continuity, cross-device calling, let alone the simplicity of setup. You try simply opening the case of some headsets that immediately connect using Linux.

It’s like suggesting a Cummings tractor will pull a load all day long, but the majority of people are looking for comfort and being able to navigate city streets and the school pickup line. Is tone deaf. Yes, but I don’t think anyone here is in need of being told about Linux. “Do you have a minute to talk about your lord and savior, Linux?”

Sorry, it's just on my mind, as I bought a Mac recently because it's the best hardware, but boy does the software suck.
