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.

macOS has Unix under the hood, but has supported business software
This, and the general business ecosystem. Few companies even ship hardware with Linux support, especially at big business scale. I didn't even see an option from Dell any longer, Lenovo has one machine it looks like, so you'd be going for something like System76 which operates no where close to the same scale.
