Apple has always been defined as the boastful, narcissistic OS. It was Steve Jobs MO to be boastful that has carried on long after he's been gone.
Linux could be called "free but no sense of freedom" (the time involved to make it work the way you want) "many versions" is definitely Linux compared to all other OSs.
Idk about you, but I feel a great sense of freedom using Linux.
In terms of "many versions," my advice: Mint if you loved the Windows UI, Ubuntu if you want regular updates, Debian if you want rock solid reliability. That's it. That's all you need to know if you're new to Linux. Skip everything else until you're comfy, or if you like it, stay a while. There is nothing wrong with either of the three. You'll learn to hate Snap on Ubuntu, and once you do, just install Debian.
That you recommended 3 versions doesn't change that there are 100. https://xkcd.com/456/
You're right
