That's always been my policy. I never used apples so I gave a big 'ol shrug if that's what needed fixing.
Once I get more comfortable with Linux, I'll be giving the same shrug to windows troubleshooting.
Daily use of Linux & MacOS is virtually identical. Same terminal commands. Similar file system standards. You have homebrew as a package manager on MacOS. You use whatever comes with your distro on Linux (dnf, apt-get, I forget the arch Linux one. Yaort? Yum?)
Really I see no reason for anyone to stay on Windows. You can play 99% of games on Linux these days. I'm not exaggerating, it's very specific multi-player games that don't work.
Maybe if you use specific software for a niche industry or purpose then it's worth having Linux. But even in those cases, you can just use a VM.
That's what I do on my MacBook pro. I have a VM with windows just to run a specific program a couple times a week.
On my desktop at home I just use Linux and have for the last 10 years or so
