Here's why I moved away from Linux to macOS:
- I'm sorry, but no Linux DE I've ever used beats macOS in terms of stability. The file explorers are also a joke and frequently changing.
- I've never booted to a black screen when upgrading macOS.
- 99% of the work I do never needs anything that has to be virtualized under macOS.
- Macbooks are solid laptops. Every other laptop I've owned hasn't stood the test of time as well as my Mac.
- More [actually good] software supports macOS. It's just a fact.
- macOS is fundamentally the same as it was 10 years ago, just with some relatively minor changes to the design. I'm pretty confident they're not going to move the dock to the top and force a new window toolkit on me that most existing software can't use.
- macOS has hardware that I know it will work with. Finding compatible hardware for Linux can be frustrating and not as complete as is claimed.
- Windows and macOS solved vsync issues long ago. Somehow, even with Wayland, you can still experience horizontal tearing if you have the wrong monitor or graphics card.

All the customization doesn't offset the trouble that desktop Linux can bring.
