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 other thread reply on this topic notes the reasons Linux is not considered a viable desktop replacement for many people.

Personally I'd need to run a VM for a bunch of software or fight Wine. That's assuming my machine has the right hardware support for everything and even then the trackpad support is likely to not be great.
