Be ready for some major cognitive dissonance. I'm old too and I regularly practice the rituals of platform agnosticism: work/Windows, home/Linux, church/Mac. If you're happy on the command line (where I do most of what I do on all of the above) then the dissonance will be tolerable due to the availability of good shells like bash and fish.
For me it's more what can get me closest to the experience of Linux since that's where I'm the most comfortable working. When that isn't an option, my go-to has been MacOS, but that's slowly shifting to Windows with the advent of WSL.
