any information worker should at least try linux and cut over to only using linux asap ... sure I have tried all the various releases of Windows and OSX however linux just works especially if you are a developer who values ease of use and unlimited flexibility ... get a junker laptop which noone uses and teach yourself how to burn a linux OS onto a memory stick then boot from this to try out then install linux onto that box ... the first several days/weeks will be challenging however once you cut over and master the basics and become fluent this effort will be time well spent ... many linux distros are available though Ubuntu is a good onramp if not an excellent dailydriver ... and yes OSX is hot garbage
