I’m on MacOS for work, Linux Mint for personal computer.
I’ve been on MacOS all around for over a decade. I found that I liked the mental model better than Windows. I had tried linux at the time (Mandrake and Suse) but they didn’t quite feel like something I could use daily, when friends were on MSN Messenger for comms.
The company uses MacBooks for developers and I enjoy that experience.
For personal, I couldn’t justify the cost of a Mac for the limited amount I’m currently using a personal computer. A year ago I resurrected a computer from a junk drawer and put Mint in it. It’s been a great experience, but the hardware has aged and some things were tricky (like typing, and hearing audio). So I bought a 3-4yo refurb Dell business machine and popped Mint on it. Am happy.
