I play a lot of video games at home, so by default I need a Windows OS.

At work as a software developer, I use Linux. Arch in particular, for my laptop. I like Arch because it gives me full control over my PC and OS. I manage my packages, I can install what I want, there is a great community that supports it, and it's lightweight and fast.

Mostly windows. I've run servers on Linux in the past, but wouldn't use it regularly.

I want a mac because they look pretty.

Window ofk. Only on Win you can play in games

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.
