It's not broken at all... At least not for me, being a user for several decades now. I use it at work while billing quite a lot of money so if it was breaking, I would have a massive problem. :)

I would say this though - the machine you run it on matters. The hardware matters. Some hardware runs great, other hardware will give you problems. This is due to driver support either being good or bad, not Linux itself, but the distinction is meaningless for the user.

Use a thinkpad, with Pop OS, to get you started. It will just work.

It is sarcasm. But obviously I communicated this poorly. Linux actually is more comfortable for development. macOS is broken by design. MacOS X in the old times was a dream to work on. But now with all "privacy" features from Apple - anything is a problem, and the quality of software from Cupertino is lowest ever.
