I bet you'll find that many of us use Mac OS X on Apple hardware.

As a workstation, Windows.
As a server, Solaris 11.x (for the time being).

My mail/web server is FreeBSD (of course), which is self-firewalled; that
latter task will soon be taken over by OpenBSD (of course).
The main client is a MacBook running Sierra (the poxy thing doesn't seem
to like High Sierra), as FreeBSD for all its advantages is a piss-poor
client.
I have images of NetBSD etc lying around somewhere, to try on new boxen.
And I keep a tame Debian laptop to see what the penguins have broken on my
projects[*]...

I was calling Linux that a fair while before OSX came along.
[*]
Just one example: it's 'stty -f ..." on most systems, but "stty -F" on
Penguin/OS. Why?

You might want to wait for 8.0, it's supposed it'll be a big release.

-f/-F is a nonstandard (i.e. non-POSIX) option. BSDs have -f, GNU
Coreutils (and BusyBox, which most of the time copies GNU behaviour)
do have -F. Other Unix userlands (IRIX, HP-UX, Heirloom, Solaris(?))
don't have it at all. So, it's not a Penguin OS thing.
Cheers!

I use Linux on the desktop and Linux for my servers. Everything works
perfectly.
I used Mac for several years but drifted away for the following reasons:
1. Their hardware is the best in the business - but not at 3 times the
price!
2. The don't make 17" laptops anymore.
3. OSX is great except for each place they drifted from Unix!
4. I don't like them, essentially, being in cohorts with MS against
Linux. (They can compete with Windows in terms of quality, but they can't
compete against the Linux price.)
5. I don't like the proprietary nature of their ecosystem.
