It's really funny to me that someone could get excessively sucked into tinkering with and "nerding out" over Macs, the desktop/laptop platform that's by far the least inclined toward that. Usually stories like this start on Windows or Linux and end up on Macs precisely to minimize time & brain space lost to tinkering and esoteric platform knowledge just to keep things basically working OK, as the appeal of that sort of thing wears off.
I don't mean that in a bad way! It's just one of those "huh, so many different experiences out there, who'da thunk it" things.
I've used Windows, Linux/FreeBSD, and MacOS (and heck, even Solaris) extensively as desktop OSs. Windows is only better than for MacOS for tinkering if you're not comfortable using the command line.
