Similar experience here. I was one of minority of die-hard Linux users until I had a hardware issue and just said f*ck it let me get a company provided mac. I had a super customized i3 setup but now on a 2020 mac I can get by just fine with the OS but the hardware is a ton better. My previous laptop was a higher end dell though not an XPS and the keyboard on this is 100x better imo and the trackpad is 1000x better. And MacOS is a bit more annoying in places but it-really-just-works and I don't think about it really.

I brew installed all the gnu core utilities so now I've got gcat and g-this and g-that. I use many workspaces and fullscreen apps usually with a terminal side-by-side and my productivity is better. I guess I discounted how much good hardware means to me.
