I tried MacOS on my work machine for a couple of years, because everyone says how easy is. It never clicked for me. It felt like the short cuts all needed another key. It was also unintuitive for me. Of course that could be because I grew up on Windows. Either way, I did not like it.
Linux is crazy easy to install and really cool that you can run a live USB so easily. It's also secure, stable, can run on garbage hardware, and has a thousand cool flavors. Intuitive and easy for (Mint, Ubuntu, etc.) common stuff. An absolute minefield to install soooo many things- if they even can work. I just want to double click shit and then run it. Much of that is on Microsoft for making things a challenge on purpose.
Windows gets more intrusive and obnoxious every year, but it runs almost everything I need.
Never really tried iOS. I don't like the idea of being locked down.
Android can do a lot of cool stuff, but gets more intrusive every year too. So I run that for now.
Some day I'll probably try some other OS on my phone, but I have less patience and time every day.
At home, I run Linux on one machine, Windows on another, hoping to cut ties with Windows entirely, but probably won't ever get there.
