If you work with audio, video, or MIDI data you want Apple because they pulled in those elements into the OS 20+ years ago eliminating wrappers and middleware -- super important.

I think Linux is best, except for the fragmentation and interoperability. Apple and BASH is done well and the ease of development, tools, support, and consistency is pretty high as opposed to Windows. Linux does better, but you need to be a little more sys-admin ()good to know, but many will skip).

With over a decade in this game I used Windows and Linux both exclusively for years, but the Apple experience is still better for me on all fronts.
