I use Mac OS for work and Debian for my personal stuffs. Both have pro and cons.

On Debian. bugs happens, but not that much. But you are right, some stuffs are not simple as it should be, like configuring my wide screen display need to enter some CLI commands.

On the other hand, for Mac OS, everything work out of the box until you have a special need. I have those in mind:

  • you need to install homebrew as package manager. Debian/Ubuntu have apt which basically works for (almost) everything out of the box
  • can't play my FLAC files using iTunes, so I need to buy a paid software or do some research. On Linux, Rhythmbox works pretty well out of the box. I currently use mpv using CLI, I didn't find a better alternative
  • the AZERTY keyboard layout doesn't work well with "not apple" keyboard. I needed to install an extra software to do this
  • some pieces of software don't work as good as Linux (Inkscape, Libreoffice, etc..)
  • Docker is not as good as it is for Linux
  • OpenVPN is not integrated as the Desktop as Gnome do
