My OS is part of my toolset that I want to work and not have to tinker with to get functioning. The Apple hardware and OS are the best I've used from the perspective of I want it to just work and it doesn't get in my way with a huge amount of annoyances.
I used to use Windows and it had so many annoyances and differences when doing work that deploys to Linux. Using Linux as an end user had many more annoyances and things that just didn't function or required a lot of effort to get working just right (wifi and trackpad are the big offenders that I recall).
To answer the question specifically - the end user experience for Linux needs to surpass Apple's for me to switch. I don't see that ever happening, tbh.
Taking a step back - I don't see myself as a fanboy, this is purely from the perspective of I've already paid my dues doing IT desktop/laptop support earlier in my career and just want it to work.
