Mac is Linux? You debug it the exact same way, except unlike Linux, you don’t have to worry about 50 different distros, so it’s a lot easier to find solutions. Debugging a hardware issue is just as hard as any other platform… what are you even trying?

The one thing I'd agree is that it tends to be harder to fix hardware issues. Well, on the new one's you just don't because it's soldered, but a friend's late 2015 27 inch imac has a borked SSD, and to replace it, we'd need to take off the glued on screen.

Softwarewise, I prefer the issue-finding experience to the windows one, though.

Harder to fix completely depends on which manufacturer you bought your laptop from, but yeah Macs aren’t easy to fix hardware issues. But finding them is just like other platforms, there’s nothing different there.
