There's ways to get things done but it seems like you have to go through a lot of hoops to get it working. I really like macOS but I am slowly moving towards Fedora on the laptop and Windows 11 with WSL on the desktop. For general use and macOS/iOS development, definitely the former, macOS is far superior, IMO.

It has become unfriendly for Apple development too. Increasing lockdown, endless permission prompts, bugs piling up into a mountain, and the forced OS updates required by Xcode.
