I avoid Windows is deliberately user-hostile. Linux is just a little more work than I'm comfortable with. I still like I would an old motorcycle: great to play with, but not to go places with minimal fuss.
I choose Mac OS over Linux for the same reason I prefer non-stick to cast iron, and synthetic to leather.
We have watched the madness from the sidelines for fifteen years. Welcome home.
I'll put in a plug for linux over Apple, which consistently steers me back to technology. Apple has betrayed us since the 90s.
