Man, I would LOVE to recommend OSX, but can’t. It’s too much spying, erm telemetry. Apple monitors every app opening every time. I can’t give up a shitty big brother for only a slightly less shitty one.

I moved to Linux Mint with a Windows VM at work for the couple of required things (Office) and while I wouldn’t say it’s painless in any way. I’m personally ready for it. I tried 10 years ago and was not.

So, I think if you can handle it, Linux, then OSX, but Windows is becoming a no go for anyone serious about privacy or security.
