I'm looking for a new laptop for work and realised that all the programs I use also run on Mac OS. I can't find a windows laptop (within the same price range) that is as thin/light, with such good battery life.

Only problem is that everytime I've had to use Mac OS on someone else's computer, I've hated it.

      It's a network effect kind of thing. Everybody has windows/Mac so if you write creative software you have to target at least one of them. But because that software doesn't work on Linux, it's hard to get more people to use Linux.

      Easy dualbooting / virtualization is the oath forward, imo, short of revolution and putting Linux on every student's computer.

      Which sort of creative software? The only thing I really haven't been able to find good software for is a raster image editor

          using Blender for raster editing sounds absolutely awful XD

          Krita is very good for painting, but very bad for technical gamedev asset making. Gimp is impressive, yet needlessly complicated
