I use them both regularly. It doesn't. It's simply not even in the same discussion.

There are some things you need to use Linux for, and where I need to do those things I ssh into a Linux VM for the most part. The fit & finish of X windows and Linux simply are not there in comparison to OSX.

I used OSX at my last job. I think if you try to use Linux as if it were a Mac, it will generally be a sufficient but worse experience. The experience I want out of my computer doesn't resemble the blessed path on Mac, so my experience on Linux is much better for me.
