I really like Linux and would use it happily, but beyond all the software you can't get for Linux, things like trackpad and screen support are just great on the Mac, especially multiple, screens with HiDPI.


An underestimated benefit of Linux vs MacOS especially if they go for ARM is that Wine is getting really, really good. One more than one occasion I downloaded an exe by accident and used it flawlessly.


Wine is indeed very good these days. It's amazing how much Windows software it will run.

And if Wine doesn't cut it, KVM with Gnome Boxes works amazingly well and is super easy to use. I had to do that for my tax software last year.
