Windows is better... if you need game compatibility, slave in Office or Adobe, have a Nvidia card, wants HDR and or fractional scaling...
Everything else, it's pure unadulterated garbage...
Games: nope. Same as someone above, I've got Cyberpunk on Linux
Office/Adobe... may be a fair point for some Nvidia card: nope, works fine
HDR: did not even bother to learn what is. Can be a fair point
Fractional scaling - genuine question: who the hell ever needs this? I have gone from 1K resolution (standard laptop) to 2K to 2.5K to ~~3~~4K with curved monitor and never ever ever did I think "hey, this big screen? I want everything bigger/smaller on it". What do people use fractional scaling for?
Your post smells of someone, who only uses their computer for fairly limited tasks.
There's so much software around serious work, creativity, and productivity, that doesn't exist for linux or is meh. CAD, audio, video, music production.
The main reasons I use macOS are GarageBand and apps for DJing. Anything audio still breaks far too often on linux or is otherwise a pain.
OmniGraffle is so fantastically great, there's no linux equivalent. The Affinity suite of alternative applications to Adobe is fantastic and far above any linux alternative.
The nicest GUI application for git, nor the best diff and merge tool aren't available for Linux.
Besides that getting support for commercial software is usually much better than for FOSS.
People who love details and crisp fonts and thus own high density resolution screens.
You seem to have moderate expectations towards visual computing.
Fairly limited tasks like backend development, yeah.
But true I had no idea what people really use for graphics and sound, thank you for pointing thouse out.
GUI for git, merge and diff does not bother me either, but that is a personal quirk. Thank you for those too, I will at least take a look
Got me a hundred percent π. Maybe when I have more money I will dive into the beautiful world of high-quality graphics
