Sometimes I consider looking switching back to MacOS (left because OS X 10.7 was becoming too much like iOS and I don't like the idea of apps having to be signed and/or in an app store) and holy shit I am glad I left.

it's still better than windows. Compared to Gnome or KDE one could argue either way

For development work, I honestly prefer Windows. At least WSL knows what you want to do and gets out of the way. Comparatively, making a "correct" shell on MacOS often entails QEMU and local NAS, alt-tabbing between that and your native terminal for version control. Or you build your server software to be MacOS-native for debugging and port it to Linux later like a neanderthal.

Just... no. MacOS looks pretty but the workflow is uglier than Satan's taint. I don't get paid to work around Apple's dysfunction.

I did Linux for a bit, but I was really impressed with Windows 10 once I disabled all the junk. Good window management, WSL is fantastic, I really like a few windows-specific utilities, and programs. I like having the Adobe suite + a nix env.

That being said, Windows 11 is making me consider jumping back to Linux, along with me being increasingly annoyed by Adobe.
