FWIW, I've used iPhones for 11 years, I've had a bunch of iPads for media use on-the-go and kids, and I even have a macbook pro that my employer provided (a very nice $3,000 monitor riser)
But most of my home machines are Windows 10. I've lived in the MS ecosystem since the DOS 3 era and that's where I feel most at home. Using macOS is a frustrating experience for me, it feels like a toy environment (though I'm sure some folks feel the same about Windows if they've grown up in the mac world).
That said, I've been toying with Linux every now and then; I've got a couple of Raspberry Pis in the house that I self-manage (for things like pi-hole, nas, vpn tunnel, etc.), I've been using WSL2 and Docker on my PCs and even have an older laptop running Arch that I sometimes poke at. I regret not getting more serious into Linux before; it's difficult to switch now, but I don't like where MS is taking Windows (funneling everyone into their Bing / ADs with Edge being pushed aggressively and search / news being shoved more and more deeply into the OS) so I'll have to begrudgingly leave my place of comfort in search of lost freedom.
I am super happy with Manjaro. I only briefly tried Arch and when I realized I have to manually assemble everything I expect from an everyday OS I was just "NOPE!" and went to Manjaro. Very happy user.
Even their installer is actually a live environment where you can do whatever you like, and you also have the "Install Manjaro" button on your desktop. A ready and working desktop environment for you to do stuff in while the OS is installing. A rarely well-polished Linux experience.
I agree macOS feels like a toy. I use it full time for 2.5 years now and I still can't shake this feeling. Both on Windows (ever since 98 and all the way to 10) and several Linux GUI flavours I used, I could make keybinds for literally anything and everything and basically optimize my machine for super productivity. With macOS that's either not easy or requires buying several software packages to do.
