Given the coming AI compsec apocalypse, now might be the time to switch to Mac from Windows/Linux (or convince your family and friends to do so). My reasoning: Apple’s vertical integration will make it more likely that you get software and firmware patches for vulnerabilities found by frontier compsec models, before the adversaries get their hands on models with sufficient capabilities to exploit those vulnerabilities.
If you are a Linux poweruser and on top of this stuff this might apply less strongly to you. I personally intend to continue using Linux (perhaps against my better judgement), but will likely suggest Mac to family and friends going forwards.
Note: I am a longtime Windows (previously) and Linux (currently) user and have never owned a Mac.
