I've been using linux distros (~5 years of Ubuntu and ~3 years of Arch) before switching to macOS somewhere around 2013-2014. And now years later I'm thinking about moving back. But every time I'm think about this I start with digging about current Linux situation and every time I realise than it is still a horrible system for anything outside of work, especially if you can't really do without a decent UI\UX.

Apple's ecosystem is also an issue. iOS + macOS is still much better than anything on the market (no alternatives really).

The Windows + Linux combo is way better for all productivity, gaming and development than the mess macOS has become since Jobs passed away.

I'm too much into gaming this days, PS4 is enough for me.

As for the rest I've commented about win10 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23274273 and Linux distros: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23274492

I still find macOS to have best balance of productivity, development and feel. Windows is still terrible and linux is just for work.
