I install and configure at least around 20 packages/extensions/tweaks on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Another 10+ browser extensions per browser. That’s not even listing the apps themselves (the ones that aren’t primarily a utility or tool).

There isn’t an OS that’s good to go out of the box. But the Apple hardware on a MacBook is completely unparalleled; people acting like there’s anything like it on the windows side are delusional. As are the apps (from the store, from the internet, from GitHub, and from brew). The quality is just much better, and so is the likelihood of finding an existing app/utility for a niche use case. Many packages on Linux are just binaries without even so much as a TUI, let alone a GUI (NordVPN). Oh ya Brew, also substantially more pain-free than other package manager experiences.
