@sigmasternchen not gonna lie, macOS makes sense on work environments. Total Windows death!

Hmm, I think Windows is the better operating system for big companies because you have much more fine-grained control over what the users can actually do, which is important if you want to avoid additional work for the IT department. I wouldn’t want to use it on personal machines though. There’s just too much weird stuff in there.
macOS is just a decent OS in general (if you don’t mind a non-free system) with a huge range of supported applications, especially regarding creative stuff. And it’s still a native UNIX, so as long as your workflows conform to POSIX you are good to go.
I still prefer Linux for my own devices because it’s much easier to learn the low-level stuff.
FreeBSD I wouldn’t want to use as a desktop operating system at the moment, as I do use a lot of non-free software that wouldn’t be run without a lot of tinkering.

@sigmasternchen from my experience, macOS is best if you have to deal with creative work, like audio, video, photography etc. Lots of creative software is available on the platform and even Apple has its own software as well. Also the default options are great (for sound-related workflows, at least)
