If I have the choice between a Linux and an Apple, I really don't know which one I would choose.
Because I really enjoy working on Linux and the docker environment integration is better.
BUT Apple has a better integration with others apps and with my phone.
@tkanos Without batting an eye I'd obviously go with Linux.
I use bothdaily. But as my primary? Apple.
Apple's macOS for me here too -- Only because it's the only OS with decent enough full screen zoom (accessibility) for poor vision impaired / blind folks like me 😂

@prologic interesting. I don't really know anything about accessibility needs, but what does the screen zoom on Mac OS do that others, Ubuntu's for instance, does not?

@marado Does full screen zoom actually work in Ubuntu? 🤔 I have a long and spiteful history of Cannonical's behaviour with their efforts to developer the Unity 3D desktop enviornment for Ubuntu, ruining the Compiz Fusion project in its wake.

@prologic For what it's worth, I am low vision myself and have sworn by KDE/plasma (and KDE/compiz before it) since 2008 at least. There was a blip there when KDE initially switched to plasma, but other than that their full screen zoom was by far my favorite and still is. I normally use a desktop workstation with KDE/plasma, but my laptop runs GNOME and their full screen zoom works OK but isn't great. I find Windows 10's pretty unusable, to the point that when I'm cursed with having to use that operating system I remote desktop into it from a Linux machine and use KDE/plasma's full screen zoom lol.
YMMV!
@abucci Oh! I didn't know you were too 😳 How badly if you don't mind my asking? 🤔 I'm basically legally blind, and have less than ~1% useful fight (whatever is left of my peripheral vision).
And yeah Windows is total garbage, I gave up on using that OS some ~20 years ago, not just because I went blind, but Windows is just a braindead stupid and useless operating system really 😅
Now I can't say I've ever tried KDE/plasma on Linux Desktop before to be honest. I used to actively run CRUX back in the day (when Cannonical/Ubuntu hadn't destroyed the Compiz Fusion project) -- And my favourite Desktop Environment (DE) at the time was XFCE.
Sadly I'm not sure any of this is possible anymore, but things do change, so its possible again one day I suppose.

@prologic I'm not even sure how to rate my vision. I'm fortunate enough to retain a decent amount of peripheral vision. But my central vision is bad (macular dystrophy), with numerous blindspots scattered throughout. I can only really see things if I look askance at them--when I look directly at an object, it's as if it's not there. Right now my vision is stable but it degraded steadily for many years and could start degrading again at any time. Pre-COVID I'd get checked yearly and was looking into clinical trials for potential treatments, but that all fell by the wayside. Someday I'll pick it up again.
Anyway, I can still use computers pretty effectively, which I'm thankful for, but keep the zoom at 2x-4x basically all the time. I definitely can't drive a car or anything like that. I frequently take pictures of things with my phone and then view the picture zoomed in to see whatever it was that I wanted to see.
@abucci Look up something called Lebers Hereditary Neuropathy. That's the condition I have. LHON for short. I also have no central vision, basically from the result of dead optic nerves. But I have to zoom in a lot further than you! 😅 Attached to this Twt is a screenshot of approximately how much of the screen I normally see at any given point in time 😂

that's on a screen that looks like this unzoomed: 
@abucci That actually gives me a pretty good idea. Thanks! 🤗
