How switching from Windows to Mac brought me to Linux

Personally I use a Mac in my sysadmin/devops role and have done for about 15 years now. Every OS has its drawbacks and flaws, personally I stuck with Mac as it's such a great all rounder: I can run all my scripts, use Vagrant, Docker and so on easily - all with beautiful hardware which gives a nice feeling (trackpad, screen quality etc).
I tried Linux on the desktop briefly, but it always feels slightly unpolished or clunky compared to Mac - but then Apple pour billions in to developing their OS and its UI/UX.
Linux is arguably the world's most important OS, but for me it belongs on a server, headless.
As mentioned I did use Linux on several occasions previously. On my previous work we used plenty of Oracle tools that were not available for Linux at that time, and older documentation is written in Word/Excel hence we were forced to use Windows.
When I moved I got a Mac, not by choice, so I had to use it for last 6 months (I didn't feel to comfortable to request a new laptop immediately after joining).
Once I felt comfortable I asked for a ThinkPad (x1 carbon 5th gen).
I also didn't feel comfortable requesting a new laptop immediately, but eventually got a MBP. I didn't feel the need to write an article about it though.
