Now with the Apple M1 offering unprecedented speed and battery life, unless you're strapped for cash or need specifically Windows apps, you should seriously consider MacOS.
It won't be long before Windows makes the jump (properly this time) to ARM. Nothing beats Windows, in my opinion, as an OS tho. MacOS gets many things right but software compatibility and customizability/control is something I can't sacrifice. Linux has the control part right but it always feels like building a house of cards: so easy to mess everything up when you're doing anything - and on Linux I get surprised if something works the first time, on Windows/MacOS I get surprised only if it doesn't.

Wasted too much of my youth on RuneScape. I don't play anymore. Will start again when I'm like 70.
