5 reasons macOS is better than Windows | Peter Rising MVP

[@buzzy5224]

I found your video when searching for material on MS102, which I'm stoked to say I passed on my first attempt, partly thanks to your videos! Cheers mate!

[@peterrisingM365]

Awesome work, congratulations on a fine achievement! 😊

[@buzzy5224]

@peterrisingM365 thanks mate! MD 102 this month to grab that 3 star achievement! Appreciate your assistance greatly.

Once you go, Mac, you’ll never go back👍😊

So true my friend. 😀

Used Mac for 10 years, then ran away and I'll never come back to Apple.

Don't do the click bait stuff, keep your integrity.

I'm trying to find the right balance of a thought provoking thumbnail that attracts viewers to content that they appreciate and find useful. So far the good comments outweigh the bad. It's a constant work in progress though.

I also recently switched to Mac, mainly to learn some new stuff and ways of doing, and I love it! Have had an iPhone for the last 6 or 7 years and the integration is mind-blowing. Still need a Windows laptop for work, so roughly a 50/50 split, but the Mac has increasingly become my daily driver. PS: Loved the DX reference! 😆

[@peterrisingM365]

Thanks Thomas. And glad someone picked up on DX too. 😂

Used Apple ecosystem for 5 years and moved back to Microsoft + Samsung: 1) Microsoft 365 applications don’t work as well on a Mac as they do on Windows. 2) A Mac is not safer than Windows; it’s just less targeted. 3) Apple products are overpriced. 4) The Samsung ecosystem has “copied” and improved some Apple features. My earbuds work flawlessly between my devices. 4) New Macs are more limited with their ARM architecture, and I need to run my Windows VMs. 5) No touchscreen? 6) Can’t run MS Project or MS Visio. What I like about Apple: 1) Apple has the best customer support ever! They are years ahead of the competition. 2) Products are well-built and designed. I totally agree with you on this. 3) Mac laptop batteries last much longer. (I’m using a Samsung 12.4" tablet with an integrated keyboard on the go). I moved away from PC laptops. My laptop is a gaming laptop-heavy. I keep it at my desk.

[@peterrisingM365]

Good assessment my friend! 😊

I'm a hardcore Windows and Android user and an IT pro working with Intune and MS365. Always stood up for it and made fun of people using iOS. Recently my enterprise gave me an iPhone and a macbook pro for Intune integration test purpose, I bought myself an iWatch and an Apple TV. Never tought it would work as a full ecosystem so seamlessly. It's just amazing. And the battery lifetime of the macbook is fantastic. Now... I didn't pay for the most expensive devices, and I don't think I would, sould my company take it back. The synergy kinda reminds me of MS365 universe. Anyway, thank you Peter for your always quali content Don't do the click bait, you don't need it.

[@peterrisingM365]

Battery life on Mac is incredible. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@mintlou]

Better at what? Your last reason is that macOS has better integration with Apple products and services?

[@peterrisingM365]

True. Watch out for the flip side of the coin coming soon. 5 reasons Windows is better. 😊

[@CrazyCanuck55]

I recently switched to all Linux at home (while Windows as work). The switch has given me lots of insights to the bad that Windows has, but also the good. I think the worst part of windows is how bloated it has gotten and how difficult it can be to opt out of the Microsoft overlords. But the good of windows is how feature rich it is and how everything just works. Mac's have always been nice to work with if you stay in the ecosystem, but if you try to step outside or run into even the simplest bump in the UI, you end up going down the rabbit hold and it goes from beginner to expert level required real fast.

[@paulwoodward8265]

Yeah, I ran desktop linux for 10 years. Loved it, but stuff would break fairly regularly. Lots of changes all the time. Eventually realised I spent about 1 day a week fettling my OS to get something to look prettier or work better, or coax an unsupported Windows app to run under Wine. Or fix sound, again. If it's a fun hobby for you, then great, but if you've got a busy day job, it's likely not the OS for you. When I pivoted to macOS I was hugely frustrated by defaults that I couldn't change, and I fought it hard for a few weeks. Eventually you realise it's not worth fighting macOS, just use it the way Apple intend it to be used, and actually it's OK. You get a lot of headspace back when you stop worrying about it and go with the flow. With linux you can always tweak it, whatever it is. With macOS, more often than not you can't, or at least shouldn't. Only real exception to that rule for me is running BetterMouse, to make my Logitech MX Master 3 work how I want. The default mouse behaviour in macOS is disgusting.

[@peterrisingM365]

Some very good points indeed. A balanced viewpoint. Thanks for sharing.

[@AnthGags333]

Do what works Peter, the more people you reach the better for you. nobody should really judge.

[@peterrisingM365]

Thank you my friend. I love your support!!

[@paulwoodward8265]

Regarding clickbait titles, I'm sure you'll use it as sparingly as you can. To survive on KZbin, you've got the play the game, at least to some extent. Maybe look to Jeff Geerling for inspiration, he's doing OK, and arguably not as clickbaity as some people out there...at least, I don't find his titles misleading...

[@peterrisingM365]

Thanks Paul. Always looking to try different things and improve 😀

[@imperfectxennial3008]

I switched when the M1 came out and never looked back. Microsoft sucks

[@peterrisingM365]

M2 even better. I love my MBP. 😀
