Arch Linux Desktop for coding and gaming, MacBook for mobile productivity. Best of both worlds.

I know with 100% certainty that if my MacBook did a thing last week, it will do it tomorrow. No lost files due to updates, no weird crashes, no ads, no candy crush. If I’m out somewhere, that reliability is worth the premium. And, at least on Mac computers, you can unlock the walled garden if you really need to.

There is no use case for windows in my workflow. Might not be true for everyone though.

I had the exact same setup before switching to fedora

To be fair, using Arch is kind of a different thing entirely. If you want to compare something to OSX UX/reliability, Mint or the like would be a more fair comparison. They're way more stable than rolling release, and even rr doesn't have that many issues.
