Well, for starters do you have a mac?
I wouldn't attempt to try hackintosh or something like that in a non Apple product, not if you don't like thinkering at least.
Obviously macOS works better with Apple products, performance and battery wise (for example in models where you can install Windows it sucks big time battery performance wise, and the hardware doesn't help either).
What I like about my mac is that it is like having the best of Windows and Linux merged, you got a nice interface with good program support and also scratches the Linux itch with its terminal, and you can also install homebrew from there, very similar as you'd do from any Linux distro (I manage completely my Synology NAS from there with SSH for example, something that was not always possible in Windows natively).
The keyboard commands are nice as well.
Maybe I just feel that way because my OS journey went from Windows > Linux > macOS.
By no means it is a perfect OS, It sucks that it is not as customizable as the other two, also its window management sucks balls without the proper programs (apps/programs really improve the experience overall).
Honestly I don't think I can cover all the good and bad things about this OS, or any other, if you are interested you can give a quick glance in any Apple store, but that is just the tip of the iceberg obviously.
