Mac is way too expensive for most of the world.

Hardware support for most linux distros still suck.

This year I've used Ubuntu, NixOS, Arch and Zorin OS. My issues:

- Dell dock station won't work properly.

- Hibernation on Lenovo laptop won't work properly.

- Bluetooth won't work properly.

I'm using currently Zorin OS and it has the best user experience so far. That said, it still requires leg work to setup stuff compared to Windows 10 (I use it at $JOB). Ironically, I think using Linux in Windows is actually easier for many use cases as you can just wipe your distro clean if gets to a broken state.




What kind of docking station is your Dell one?

What behavior are you observing with hibernation?
