So just as a voice of discord from someone who used Linux, MacOS, and Windows on an almost daily basis for various things. Not everyone that likes Apple products thinks they can do no wrong in fact I hate a lot of things they do as a company and there are many frustrating things about the ecosystem. I use MacOS as my primary daily driver, Windows everything at work, and Linux in my homelab. All have their strengths and weaknesses, I gave MacOS a try because of the M series chips(Mac Mini 32gb M1), and after hating on them relentlessly for years found it a great system to work with, I can do everything I need without issue or headache, at the end of the day its ‘a Unix system’, and I can connect fairly seamlessly with any Windows machine I need and completely seamlessly with all my Linux machines.

Not trying to convert anybody just pointing out that while Apple as a company is shitty, their products and particularly their OS is not terrible

I can agree with that judgement.
M series is probably the best thing they've made in years, and the OS isn't bad, maybe a little hand-holdy at times imo, but at the end of the day it's still a decently flexible Unix system that uses ZSH as it's shell.
If Apple didn't make it such a walled garden, we could've seen it become a really popular OS.

Asahi Linux coming in clutch with bringing Linux to the M series and pushing Linux on ARM development forward tho.
