We like to point fingers at Windows and Apple users - but the reality is that there are some people who get serious work done on either operating system.
There are true power-users of either OS. The Windows terminal is quite potent and MacOS is a full-on Unix under the hood.
The difference is that many of the folks who use Linux started out as power users of those OSes. We're the ones who dig deeper and seek a greater understanding of what's going on underneath. You don't need to be a power-user to use a modern Linux desktop. That's not required. But, many of us were power-users of the OSes we migrated from.
As I was thinking about this, it made me wonder how many power-users give up. They start with Linux and expect the same level of proficiency, or at least the same level in a short time. Of those, MacOS users might have a marginal advantage given their use of a Unix.
I don't really have a point, but it struck me as an interesting bit of food for thought. I wonder if it's easier for a non-power-user to migrate than it is for a real power-user?
