Ideally you use linux for tech, but MacOS is a close second as it’s also based on Unix, which makes it operate similarly to Linux. It’s a valid choice, and better than windows in most cases still.
The only reason I have windows home computer is gaming. Otherwise I would prefer Mac. Things just work there. Windows in last few years improved significantly, but still is not there. In all years I was using Mac, I had zero problems. But even with windows 11 I sometimes have to fight things like “why my computer does not go to automatic sleep”
I never used a mac, but if you want to have a machine that just works, you have the coin and are not power User enough, that the wierd quirks annoy you, Mac could be for you.
Don’t get me wrong but Windows sucks for non computer people. Mac’s have the “do not bother me I do not care” options.
Additionally a lot of creative stuff is focused on mac’s. Music, photography, design is at least optimized if not sometimes exclusive for osx.
And do not forget that if you want to have devices that “just work” and you do not care how or why, having all apple devices must be nice. No compatibility tinkering, seamless backups and transfers, etc. Things get better now on other systems but try explaining an older tech illiterate person over phone how to get her photos from the phone to her notebook…

I’m sorry but I’m shocked mac has 1/5 share - wtf who wants that garbage
Other guys got a point. You see them a lot in colleges. Be it in students hands, or in the schools computer labs.

Also tech university students, though.

That M1 (and M2) silicon ain’t anything to scoff at
