  - I work in multiple OSes simultaneously and MacOS makes this a huge pain as it has substantially different keyboard shortcuts compared to Windows/Linux. You can kinda change this in the System Preferences but it isn't perfect.
  - Depending on your distro, installing and updating software on Linux can be much easier compared to MacOS.
  - MacOS updates tend to break things
  - Automating things on Linux is easy as I have the CLI. Automating things on Windows is kind-of easy as I have AutoHotkey. Automating things on MacOS is hard because there simply isn't a comparable all-in-one tool.
  - Docker on MacOS is pain.
  - Virtual machines on MacOS is pain.
  - Advanced networking on MacOS is pain (when I need complicated VPN setups or just to connect all my VMs together).
I know many of my pain points don't apply to lots of people because my desktop setup is pretty complicated but my main pain point is still keyboard shortcuts. MacOS keyboard shortcuts are just completely different from any other OS and MacOS makes customizing them difficult without 3rd party tools.

I would understand how MacOS may be easier to use if you work with a lot of audio or just use it for web/office stuff though.
