I use Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, and Windows. All have their strengths, but for me it's:
* MacOS wins for laptops, hands down. Mac laptop hardware is by far my favorite these days (I used to be a Lenovo guy in the thinkpad era, but no more sadly), and hardware support for Mac is of course best on MacOS. There are a lot of things you have to get right in a laptop (touchpad controls, drivers for wireless devices, audio, etc.) and Linux never really nails it for me.
* FreeBSD for the majority of "appliances" (routers, storage, servers for running misc. tools like home automation)
* Linux for various open-source desktop tools that have poor BSD support, mostly around things that rely on GPU (e.g. Blender rendering)
* Windows for desktop media consumption (games, movies, etc.). I'm not happy with it, per se - things like HDR and surround sound have a lot of issues - but it works well enough and I already have it there for games. I should probably try MacOS's surround sound support - I know it handles HDR very well.
