I don't know about the "you should too" part. I use Arch, it works fine for me but I am patient and want to use it. Realistically, I would expect the largest migration should be devs switching from mac to Linux. I don't see any reason at all to use a mac for development anymore.

Omarchy is a nice experience for devs.

Funnily enough, though, you can get a very user friendly experience using Niri and Dank Linux (don't remember the exact name). It takes two 3 CLI commands to install, and the top bar incredibly cool, compared to the i3 defaults and even to what I remember of Gnome and KDE.

Next up: somebody comes up with a desktop environment called BTW.

Unfortunately Mac hardware is a huge leap ahead of anything else.

Has apple severely degraded the developer experience on MacOS recently or something?
