"In Linux everything else is better"
This is entirely subjective; it is not a wise comment to make because it is better FOR YOU, not for everyone. For me, I liked the configurability in Linux desktop land but there comes a time when you want to sit in your office and get stuff done instead of spending all the time moving the furniture around and decorating; OSX doesn't let you do any decorating or move the furniture, so you're forced to do work (to some extent).
I daily use Linux, yet my day-job is to write software on OSX and Windows, so I get to use every system every day. They're all pretty much a muchness.

Is your comment saying 'linux is amazing, I just can't stop ricing it and get to work! OSX is better because it doesn't let me customize it'?

No, it's saying both are great but Linux constant desktop change and rewriting of underlying systems to break upgrades between OSes isn't for me at the moment (as a desktop system). It may be great for someone else though.
Great for servers.
Basically, each to their own. None is "better".
After a year I find the only advantage of OSX are browser with touchpad gesture experience and windows edge handling. Haven't tried any distro ever since switching to MBP, wayland might have a better chance of replicating the experience. Hoping for the camera driver to be done.
In Linux everything else is better, fuller implementation of base tools, customizability, no crap like /var/folders..
