Well, each one has pros and cons. *UNIX (I’m including *Linux and *BSD only, since masOS is technically uses a Unix-like kernel and *BSD code) systems tend to provide more control to the user, as they are Libre Software; however, the code can be rather clunky (especially in GNU+systemd+Linux distributions), and is much less secure.
What is Libre Software?
Libre Software is one in which you have the following freedoms:
1: Run the program for any purpose
2: Study the program by any means
3: Modify the program code in any manner
4: Distribute the program at any price
Depending on the Libre Software license, there can be conditions:
1: In any copies which you distribute, you must provide credit to authors of which code you used, and keep the license notice (example: Expat license)
2: If any patented techniques are on the code, you must provide rights to them (example: Apache 2.0 license)
3: Any code on the program is also licensed under it, and you must pass down the same freedoms and obligations; this can be either per-file, or more commonly, for the entire program, although exceptions can be made for other programs using it as a library (respective examples: MPL 2.0, GPL 3.0 or later, and LGPL 2.1 or later)
macOS, on the other hand, is much more restrictive, but much better security (the best out of any desktop OS).
