macOS does have ads, their online services are worse than Windows, and installing basic software like Homebrew and Git is like having teeth pulled.

Windows is absolutely miserable, but with WSL installed it's far and away the better dev environment. I say that as someone who dailies Linux and hates all three OSes.

While macOS has gown down over time, installing Homebrew and Git on macOS is trivial, a 30 second affair.
