So which OS do you choose to expend your valuable time on?

There's not much to pursue in MacOS. It works as it should and it is a
fairly pleasant experience. However, I would agree that it's expensive.
After a while, you'll need tools to do additional things and on MacOS,
you're going to be paying money in most cases. Open-source is available
for it too, mind you.

I just dislike Windows and macOS, it might be my own opinion but it's
right for me.

 MacOS machines have a shelf life of about seven years before Apple decides that your machine is no longer worth supporting with updates. As we've seen, Windows machines get about seven, so it's a fair amount of time. However, Linux has them both beat with unlimited support no matter how pathetic the machine you're running it on is.

Fair points ... although it can also be worth mentioning that it typically takes Linux awhile to get around to supporting the newest gear, so its more along the lines of instead of support for Year 0 through Year 7, its more akin to support for Year ~3 to Year 15.
