I used Apple with an Apple 2, then once bought an Apple laptop just before they switched to intel cpus as an experiment. For reference I had already been running Linux for years at the time, so that was a test. It lasted three or four months before I ran back to Kde, couldn't stand how rigid, awkward and closed the interface was. As an aside, it was pretty much impossible to extract my data from their "photos" app. They renamed everything and dumed it in a maze of illegible directories.
That was my last contact with Apple.

Even Microsoft felt more user friendly to me.
