Mac or Windows for better Julia experience?

I think you should first try to run Julia in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It seems to have good performance, see discussion on Simple benchmarks to run to test WSL2 vs Windows Native - #4 by Palli

This way you can see how smooth it runs in Linux, then decide if you want to change OS (or maybe just keep using WSL…). Note that you might have some difficulties to get GUI packages working, for example for plotting to a window, but it should be possible.
