My wife has been using Linux in home as far as we started living together (aprox. 15y). Recently she moved from working as a chef in restaurants to doing it for a company and they gave her a Mac to deal with her corporate business (email, meetings and so on) and she hates it, she said that everything looks cute, but nothing works like she wants and cannot change anything.
MacOS is a full Unix distribution and is an odd mishmash of an OS that used to care about power users and a weird iOS based facade. You can actually do quite a few of the things in macOS that you can do in Linux you just have to know where to look, some things have been hidden from the Applications folder but can still be found using Spotlight for instance. MacOS even still has a native X11 implementation for what it’s worth.
I would still prefer Linux but given the choice I will take macOS over Windows every time.
Exactly this (except I prefer macOS over Linux out of habit). If you’re a power user that’s comfortable working from a terminal, macOS is really just a polished UNIX system. There are no guard rails that sudo !! won’t get you past.
