A few years ago I'd say hell no but windows 10/11 has become a nightmare to use. Shady telemetry collection aside it runs hot as all fuck and drains my laptops battery too fast.
I never thought id say this but between the two I'd just get an m2 or newer Mac.
In terms of usability, it certainly can be. It's a UNIX system, and you can easily set up a tiling WM and get an experience similar to Linux, with homebrew, neovim, terminals, etc.
You're also not dealing with the typical adware from Windows.
MacOS wasn't too bad at one point. I hate apple with a passion, and their business model is disgusting, but it takes very little to best windows. How about a functioning underlying OS? MacOS has that, windows never has.
I’m a bit frustrated by my steam replay. Not only does it show windows in my platform chart despite my complete abandonment of windows in my home for years at this point, but also one of my most consistently and highest played game (fall guys, hundreds of hours played on Linux in 2024) didn’t even show up in my top games list.
Edit: looks like the replay continues to update itself so it just wasn’t done processing or something because fall guys now shows up in mine as expected with accurate numbers, a new game was added to my number of games player count after I started a new one last night, and they are no longer showing me the platform breakdown lol.
Turns out, the replay continues to update itself because I just checked back in and it’s there now, with all the session count and hours I was expecting!
Under the store page there should be a "steam replay" button if you scroll down a bit. It will only show the OS break down if you use more than one OS, though. No pi chart if you only game on Linux. 😕
