> I'm essentially trapped on OSX, and have been for a decade
Me too until this May, when it was past time for my aging MB Pro to retire. I really couldn't justify a new one given I don't even like them any more (the Touchbar was the coup de grace).
Hence a Dell XPS 15, running Windows 10. I won't pretend the latter is anywhere near as good as OSX (less stable, less consistent UI, generally lower quality apps), but it does manage all the hardware well & gets the job done. WSL makes it livable-with.
I'd prefer linux though for its window manager choices, single-rooted filesystem, lack of nags & faster file io (among other things).

Quite.
