I deliberately said Windows instead of Mac, because all the apple users I know are the type of people who will never, ever try linux in the first place.
As someone who’s been a fan of Free Software since I first heard of it in the late '90s, I used and recommended Macs in the early 2000s because (at time, at least) Apple was leaning into the Unix-nature and BSD underpinnings of the thing and coming out with stuff like XServe and Automator.
Not so much these days, though. Apple’s pivot in ideology towards locked-down consumer crap like iOS and the App Store – even going so far as to ditch bash for zsh just because they hated GPLv3 – ruined it.
you either go back to windows, or turn into this guy. There is no 3rd option.
Unfortunately, MacOS is far more popular than it should be.

Yeah, that makes sense.
