A few years ago I’d say hell no but windows 10/11 has become a nightmare to use. Shady telemetry collection aside it runs hot as all fuck and drains my laptops battery too fast.

I never thought id say this but between the two I’d just get an m2 or newer Mac.

In terms of usability, it certainly can be. It’s a UNIX system, and you can easily set up a tiling WM and get an experience similar to Linux, with homebrew, neovim, terminals, etc.

You’re also not dealing with the typical adware from Windows.

I’ve been refurbishing old macbooks this year and been running OSX out of curiosity.

Yes, it’s significantly better than Michaelsoft Binbows.

MacOS wasn’t too bad at one point. I hate apple with a passion, and their business model is disgusting, but it takes very little to best windows. How about a functioning underlying OS? MacOS has that, windows never has.

What’s locked down about it? You can run unsigned code out of the box, no jailbreak required like on iOS
