I was faced with this decision about 4 years ago, and I have to say that I am more than pleased with my choice. I spent a lot of time researching building a hackintosh, which I REALLY wanted to do because I was in love with macOS at the time, but in resignation that I couldn't do anything to build it out or expand it going forward I went with win10.
Long story short, it's been fantastic. I pined for unix once again, naturally, and now I run manjaro through virtualbox. I have 32gb of ram and I almost never clock that out even running the virtual machine nearly all the time for dev work. It couldn't be better, frankly. I can expand storage, memory, everything. This is a great PC that will last me years and years now, and I spent less than 1500 including peripherals. I would've had to spend close to 4k to get the same specs here in a macOS, and at the end of the day my workflow is 100x that which it was in macOS.
I thought there would be so much that I missed about macOS, and there is literally just one app that I use for learning on my 2012 clunker macbook pro. Unless you really REALLY have something you need from macOS then stick with it, but try running linux from virtualbox and I am certain you can find open source for nearly all of your needs.
