7:55 this is super helpful. I remember when I worked in an office. My co-trainees asked me to teach them the keyboards shortcuts as they saw how efficiently I could navigate the computer. We even got a contest for speed typing and the other team also had an IT student and the scores were tied because we were nervously trying to type fast with our members shouting and cheering up. 😂 We won and I got some food to share with my team. ⌨️ It almost even turned to our members clashing due to the website showing 2 completely different results. We won on our end and they won on theirs (it was a different room per team). So a tie-breaker round but due to these shortcuts, we won. I don't type that fast and only won a couple of seconds. But yeah, most of these tips were used IRL and showed results.

the same for linux but everyone keeps saying that linux sucks after 5 seconds

The whole "_____ is a bad OS because I can't understand it the first time i use it" is such a bad take. Every OS is a learning experience and I assure u Windows can be a horrible experience like MacOS if u didn't use that OS predominantly in your day to day tasks.

[@xondisw]

OMG. Yes this is so true, I was a Windows uzer and I switched to Mac around last year and it was confusing at first and when I got used to it I REALLY LOVED IT. This year I started using my Windows laptop more, and I really really HATED it at first because it wasn't as simple as Mac, but now I'm happily using both of my Windows and Mac computers without complaints 🥲

[@rebane2001]

no that's not true, macos has lots of small unfixable problems that heavily slow you down in ways both windows and linux don't, mostly little animations and transitions and extra clicks or actions that make stuff take a second instead of a tenth of one

[@dedaluslogic]

@@rebane2001 The video is full of examples of small things where MacOS turned out to be quicker than Windows.

[@LISBONKULT]

@@dedaluslogic i use both OS, mac os ventura and win11, and I prefer windows 11 for productivity, it is faster and less of an headache to use, mac os out of the box without any setting is awful to use

Hi Bog, this is the first video of yours that I'm seeing, and even though I don't have a Mac computer (maybe soon), I found this video very useful and funny. Also, as a French guy, I really appreciate your diction and the fact that you articulate your words well. This helps me improve my English comprehension :) +1 sub

[@ElShogoso]

I grew up on macintosh. My first machine was older than me, a 7200 power mac running system 7 and later upgraded to OS 9. I was a little kid and got it as a hand me down from my dad, it basically only ran kid pix at that time. Then I got his slot-loading iMac G3 (CD, not DVD drive) running OS X 10.2 and that was my main rig during my childhood, it was where I learned a lot about computing (as well as in an old windows 98 machine I could mess with). So yeah, I was a little computer nerd. After that iMac I moved to PCs with Windows and Linux and never really looked back. I look back fondly on using mac back in the day but never felt the need to go back. Of course, there are things that make me jealous about the Mac ecosystem, namely music and design related stuff, but as a power user who likes to tweak with my own hardware and software, Apple's approach clearly isn't for me.

[@GuitarListen]

(im a new mac user and I might be wrong) as far as I know you can customize anything and macos is more open than windows. though for hardware, cannot argue with you.

[@zach-shea]

sounds like you might enjoy a hackintosh

[@InfiniteSciences]

Might have to agree on that. Do love MacOS and a lot of the properties of it. However, as a power user, it does still have a few limitations and overall, Windows also seems to disappoint with the release of the Windows 11. Hoping for Microsoft to release Windows 12 soon which hopefully should motivate three fourth of the Windows 10 and 11 users to upgrade to it. Currently running Windows 10 and not having any thoughts to upgrade to Windows 11, at least until Microsoft releases a proper, stable Windows 12.

[@octorokpie]

@@GuitarListen You can't even turn off mouse acceleration on Mac without another app

[@originzz]

@@GuitarListenApple's for people who don't mind having the control over their system taken from them, whereas Windows is for the people who like to have some control in exchange for their data being sold, and Linux is for people who want to control every minute detail, even if it means you might brick your computer through your own fault one day

[@pascaltogneri6085]

7:51 if you use ctrl + L in some applications like in VsCode it'll select the whole line. Another thing if you have page up and page down keys on windows and you do ctrl + pgup or down itll switch your tabs. And if you hold shift whilst doing it it'll drag them along.

[@odd_ish5347]

3:58 you can just click on the desktop to reveal the folders etc. on it if. you choose "always" for the "Click wallpaper to reveal desktop"-setting. No need for hot corners

[@atomiz2002]

most of the "horrible until you learn them" features are on windows which is why its not horrible. the reason mac is horrible is because it lacks 90% of the functionality on windows

[@heroninja1125]

The same goes for Linux. The issue is that people are biased and explain cause with effect, that Linux isn't a full proper solution even though they never even bothered to use it.

[@flottenheimer]

Bog, you can also open the emoji window by just pressing the 'fn'-button...

[@MTech12990]

but what if you want to change your language using the fn button! you should probably install this application called Rocket where you can insert an emoji using the colon. And if you do not want an emoji and just a colo it will go away by esc or space

After watching: Thanks to your past work and stuff I've learned I didn't learn anything from this video, which I am so happy to say! Only took me about two years or something. 😄 Haven't watched this video yet, but the title makes me think: I think this is true for Windows, Linux etc. as well. If you have never used any product like these, you will have to get used to the way the products work. If I had not used Windows until around 2020, but Mac instead, I am pretty sure I'd have had a similar experience with Windows, disliking it from the start because it doesn't work like I'm used to with Mac. This is the reason I try to keep an open mind and pretty much dislike anything that says "Look, this is dumb and can't even do xyz" when the product can do xyz in a different way and many just don't know because they don't care enough to do some research. But instead get some views and interaction because of how cool it is to complain about something when you could do some research and give the way of a product some thought, just like the people who created it maybe. But apart from these thoughts: Thanks for putting stuff like this out there. I've learned a lot about Mac and Windows since I subscribed to your channel. And had lots of fun because of for example... sike. 😄

[@rafalg87]

MacOS has robust APIs to add/replace core components with 3rd-party apps. Spotlight -> Raycast (or Albert as you've shown) Nothing to snap windows -> Rectangle Cmd+Tab -> Contexts Finder -> Forklift No way to control external monitor's volume -> Proxy Audio Device Unusable mousewheel scrolling -> Discrete Scroll A truly great operating system 😁

[@lolitbairiganjan2940]

Love you and your videos. Your channel is growing super fast. Am very happy for you!

[@garretreed9709]

what about the proper usage seen in Windows? Mac lets files and icons be placed anywhere which is such a mess!! There's grids but sometimes when you switch from list to icons and then delete or move an icon, everything doesn't shift and you are left with a gap. Where in windows as you scale the window all the icons fill the size of the window accordingly yet MAC can't do this?! annoying hope you address this in a future video

[@jorgebrigliadori]

"option + delete" was mindblowing 😵

[@podroznik2214]

You could add to this command + tab then hold command and use left right arrow to select an application, then arrow down will allow selecting windows of that application similar like alt+tab on Windows. It took me a lot of time to figure that out.

[@Megabeboo]

Pretty random collection of things. Some more structure would be great! Also interesting that you mostly refer to extensions that do what MacOS fails to do (e.g., window management). And you should definitely be using Raycast 🤝

[@verngall]

Magnet is a good alternative to "rectangle"

honestly people who hate on another person OS is same as hating on someones music taste. It's preference and if you don't like other OS then don't use it. There are people out there like me who would never go back on windows from mac. If you're doing dumb wars whichever OS is better than go to therapist kid.

[@opposite342]

Hey just wondering, what's your thought on tiling window managers like yabai or amethyst?

[@erlonpb]

Is it a third party app used for the screenshot at the end?

[@bogxd]

No, it's the built in screenshot tool. Command + shift + 3 takes a screenshot of your entire screen, command + shift + 4 takes a screenshot of a portion of your screen (if you press space after that it will let you capture a specific window, and if you hold control while taking the screenshot it will copy it to your clipboard without saving it on your computer).

[@erlonpb]

@@bogxd I was using "Screenshot and recording options" all this time and never liked it, the command+shift+4 option is much better, thank you!

7:07 💯. Always been using it, and it's really great for typing test such as monkeytype. 😂 Using backspaces will almost always take more time and make me mess it up even more. I used Windows for a decade and trying Linux was one of the best decisions. I learned a whole other world of keyboard shortcuts that mostly work on windows as well. But I use AHK for others and will soon convert it to a python script. Or maybe not, IDK yet.

Linux is what I use for tweaking things to my liking, for power use and also because I'm a software nerd. It's also THE developer OS. My Mac is for just getting things done with a finely tuned tool that gets out of my way. Amazing for art, development, and productivity. Macbook batteries cannot be beat. Windows is an unfortunate requirement for VR and certain games. The day I can nuke it from my system will be a good day: It's not a complete dumpster fire everyone always overexaggerates it is, but it's easily the worst option from a pure comfort standpoint right now. It's just a bloated mess that's lost sight of what it used to be with intrusive features shoved down your throat at all times. Not even Apple whines at you that much for not using Safari ot iCloud.
