BSD might be an option. But this post is basically meant to ask the following question:
Windows or Mac, which OS do you dislike less?
For me, it’s Windows. Microsoft is shit, but at least there’s some flexibility in terms of how I can use my system and what hardware I can use it on.
I’d have to go with Mac OS. BSD isn’t nearly as usable as Linux sadly. Just look at bluetooth support. Windows is for business workstations in my opinion, and sadly college students as most of their tools are M365. It doesn’t really make sense for most home use. At least Mac OS doesn’t insert ads for applications in the app menu.
