MacOS and I'm certainly never going away from that. Just perfect for my use case with nice unix base and a great gui. best of both worlds

Never say never. I used to be on macOS

At work I have had to use macOS for two years now and I still can't get over how annoying their GUI is. I'm surprised every time someone praises it.

I've been in the same boat, and ended up installing a lot of utils just to keep my sanity. I used this guy as a primary resource: https://youtu.be/cfsNO14hikA

Oh yes, me too, Magnet, Amphetamine, Karabiner, Forklift, qView.

What I'm missing is a good solution for the calender. The integration with Exchange calenders is broken since Ventura, the Webview of OWA drives me up walls, the Thunderbird integration with Add-Ons I didn't get to work so far.

Same! Used both Win10/11 and Ubuntu for work and is now locked to Mac, and it's terrible. It's supposed to be so user friendly and nice that it becomes useless and a mess.

Only good thing about Mac is the M2 chip.

In the same boat, and watching fellow devs struggle with what would be the simplest things on Mac while simultaneously shit talking Mac at every opportunity has me perpetually puzzled.

Mac and Ubuntu, to answer the OP question.
