If Microsoft wasn't doing ever worse privacy things with Windows I'd seriously look into switching away from Mac OS given the ever growing issues it's been having with every release.

The set of possible operating systems to consider does not contain two items.

I find Linux to be a usability nightmare. Weird cut and paste behavior, difficult to resize windows, terrible trackpad support. macOS and Windows will have to get a lot worse before I switch.

how many DE did you try? you have a variety of choices now, I would recommend trying a popular one such as Ubuntu / Elementary OS / Linux Mint

You should get a very nice experience out of the box with these, which can be reproduced quite easily with less "bloated" distributions such as Arch or Gentoo if you prefer to install things yourself
