If you like desktop unix it’s also hard to go wrong with macOS as well.



I have to use it for work and I disagree.

It's a step up from Windows, but you're still in an experience crafted by a huge company with goals that you might not agree with. For instance you need a third party app to prevent your screen from sleeping I guess because Apple needs a third party to blame for when doing so reduces your battery life?

Plus the window manager is awful and all of the third party apps that improve it are gimped by Apple's limited API (they can arrange windows spatially but they can't move focus spatially, i3-style).

If you're going to bother climbing out of the corporate control labyrinth you might as well go all the way and pick something community maintained.
