I have been in software development for 25 years... most of that time I used linux as a desktop - mostly Fedora to be on the same distro flavor as most enterprise companies, RHEL. I've always had a windows PC for gaming, but for work I "upgraded" to MacOS a good 8 years ago. As a developer working with mostly GoLang, Ruby and (blech)Python and PHP this has worked out better than ANY linux out there. No more recompiling the kernel just because of an NVidia update and the countless other PITA things that comes along with a linux desktop. MacOS on a Macbook Pro is the way to go - dog on Apple all you want, but they make the best hardware and software out there. NCSWIC!
