Most places I've worked I've had the autonomy to re-install my machine to whatever OS I worked with, so was always Debian Linux.
Then I joined some mega-corp, with it's structures and set systems, so opted for a Macbook.
Worst mistake of my life, OSX is horrid, I'd rather use Windows.
Maybe you can install homebrew and open source apps to make it more Linux like, but you'll still be stuck with Mac OS's shonky window and task management UI unfortunately.
Lack of knowledge about something can certainly make it seem horrid. It just means you have a lot to learn. There is a reason so many of us engineers with decades of experience in Windows, MacOS (and OSX), and Linux use a Macbook Pro as our daily driver.
