From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A few options
1,Getting a Mac with apple silicon and install asahi , dual boot. 2. Add a new SSD and some ram to your current one and enable virtualization in bios. Might need a bios update as well. 3 Dual boot windows , might want to check out https://ameliorated.io/ 4 Get a old crappy Mac just for the itunes. 5. Use the Linux tools mentioned earlier
Absolutely, but OP will have to explain a bit to their boss why. Maybe we can help OP there?
Fuck that walled garden is not a business value added task so can we, as a community who cares how openness, translate that to C-suite MBA speech?
Maybe Ubuntu, RedHat, and other company selling FLOSS have reports to help there.
This is nearly 20 years old but give the idea of the words needed https://www.cio.com/article/274764/operating-systems-the-tco-of-operating-systems-compare-the-big-oses.html
Here is something a bit more recent https://umatechnology.org/comparing-operating-system-costs-windows-macos-linux/ but again this isn't to give an "answer" but at least understanding management perspective, which is not really a technical one but rather a cost/value one.
