It all comes down to a matter of taste really.
IMHO: If you can afford it, get a Macbook of some kind. For a laptop/desktop, I would take macOS over Windows or Linux, any day. IMHO, macOS has the best apps and the best desktop experience. With Homebrew, you can install ~99% of all CLI utilities that you could run on Linux.
I switched from Linux to macOS seven years ago and so far there are no Linux applications that I haven’t found a good alternative for.

But to each their own and YMMV.
