Why macOS is Simply Better Than Windows

That's how I feel, I have used MacOS and Windows and I hate both, but slightly hate Windows less because I don't have to commit to the Mac hardware and if I want to switch to another OS I can always give myself a new and different headache.

[@MelodicTurtleMetal]

I hate them all. MacOs is borderline useless for any real computing task, and 90% of what it does well can now be done equally well on phones. The remaining 10% can be done equally well on all OS. Windows update really cripples windows, and it's need to download frameworks and such make it feel exhaustingly slow to do certain tasks - but then again those tasks are usually literally impossible on Mac and almost impossible on any Unix, so what can you do. Too much support is windows problem. All productive software is better on windows - arguing that is just projecting your windows hate. Linux is great for that 10% that works fine on every OS, but every. single. thing. you want to install or get working is an absolute chore, that both MacOs and windows can achieve effortlessly. Linux as a desktop machine is a joke, and everybody pushing for it just wants attention, live in denial, and just want the 20 hours of their lives setting it up to be borderline useful.

If you’re a dingus that buys a phone every year maybe. Otherwise a nice thing about macOS is the relatively inexpensive price of lifetime licences to software like Logic Pro and Final Cut (which most people don’t even need since Garageband and iMovie are already pretty good), not to mention the preinstalled office suite.

We Linux users choose when to do so (and all that rebooting does is apply any kernel-level changes) by simply typing “sudo apt update” then “sudo apt upgrade -y” and it only takes seconds and will be offered for the entire lifetime of your PC, with some 2011 ThinkPad users with Ubuntu still enjoying support thanks to the fact that they can run version 24.04.

I choose Windows 11 over MacOS any day of the week. GNU/Linux is obviously preferable, but given a choice between Apple and Microsoft, Microsoft is the clear winner. Why? Three reasons come to mind: 1) Window management is atrocious on MacOS. 2) My Apple work computer doesn't have any USB ports (need a dongle). 3) Apple hardware is subpar for its price range. Intel CPU + NVIDIA GPU is a much better combination for pretty much all use cases. Battery life is great on MacOS, though, so I guess there's that...

[@polishtheday]

@@guanxinated My Mac M2 Mini Pro outperforms any Windows machine I’ve ever owned (and my first was an IBM 286 running pre-Windows 3.0 and my last was a pricey Dell Studio) at a price comparable to any decent Windows desktop. It has 4 Thunderbolt ports, 2 USB ports, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, headphone jack, ARM not Intel, with a NPU. Graphics performance beats NVIDEA. Windows management is coming in September, but I’ll keep using the $12 utility because it’s the best Windows management solution I’ve ever used.

[@guanxinated]

@@polishtheday Really? Could be that we have different use cases, but I dunno. The most intensive computing I ever do on a regular basis is protein folding and Apple hardware is pretty mid, I'd say. I mean, don't get me wrong, the M2 has good performance w/ low power draw and some simulations need to use CPU, so it's useful work, but generally speaking, I can get the same performance with a GTX 1650 that costs like $150. I just looked on Amazon and they're selling an MacBook Pro with an M2 processor and 8GB of RAM for $1,500. I'd rather pay a little bit more and get an RTX 4070 laptop. That's 10x performance! Regarding the windows management utility, yeah, maybe there's some solution out there that makes MacOS usable, but I want something that works right off the box.

[@3polygons]

The one and only problem is that a number of 2D and 3D professional graphics applications don't run properly (or at all) even in Wine emulator (and often running an old version brings problems of all kinds). For graphic professional use it is a problem . As much as I love Blender and Inkscape, it's not enough for compatibility with many professional workflows and clients. For running "solo", freelancers that can afford to only take certain kind of projects, doing your thing in graphics, I think you could do with Blender, Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus and a bunch of proprietary apps (stellar mention: Davinci Resolve) that have a Linux version, and are usually well maintained, but not for the other very common way of working, where a company or client asks you full compatibility with the latest Windows-only professional app (latest Photoshop, 3D Studio, etc), sadly. That needs more than just regular mainstream users swapping. It needs companies swapping, all their complex workflows that they have consolidated through decades, custom apps around it, etc. We might finally find a way, and now it is *A LOT* better than it was back in 2002 (Linux is immensely better, but also the apps... Blender was not the very high end 3D package that it is today). For now it is a problem to go Linux-only in these fields. Reason why many people keep dual booting. I have had even 4 OSes in the same machine, long ago. There's also another problem that is neither Linux's fault. Drivers for specialized hardware. Colorimeters, certain printers, high end monitors, etc. For some reason, a number of hardware vendors don't produce Linux drivers or they don't maintain them too much. These two problems eliminated, and I would not purchase a Windows license anymore, to only use whatever the Linux distro, like I did in the past. But until then it would always bring too many problems. If was only for mainstream use (I am barely a casual gamer, if at all, and steam games are enough) I'd have switched back to Linux a very long time ago.

Adorei o vídeo e concordo com tudo. Sou um ex-usuário do Windows desde a versão 3.1. Os dois piores aplicativos que existem no Windows, para mim, são o Windows Update e o Windows Defender. Os dois foram programados para meticulosamente acabar com o desempenho e o espaço em disco do seu computador. Em 2017 decidir comprar um Imac usado, porque aqui no Brasil o preço é muito alto, e gostei tanto que subustituir todos os meus computadores de desenvolvimento de software por Macs. Hoje tenho 2 IMacs, 1 Mac mini, 1 IPad e um MacBook e nunca mais tive problemas ou lentidão no meu trabalho. A propósito, meus computadores ficam ligados 24/7 e sempre que aciono eles, na manhã seguinte, estão lá, prontos para uso. Isso é realmente fantástico e deveria ser o padrão para todos os sistemas operacionais. Ainda preciso compilar meus programas no Windows, então tenho um computador Dell para isso que fica o tempo todo hibernando para evitar os updates constantes. A minha sensação, após o lançamento do Windows 8, é que o computador não é meu e sim da Microsoft e ela com a desculpa de utilização de "tempo livre" da CPU colocar todo tipo de serviço para rodar o que degrada o desempenho do Windows como um todo, quando você volta a utilizar.

Vista is better than XP. What makes it bad is Microsoft's terrible advertising campaign and the manufacturers not bothering to write drivers for Vista. If you don't know, from Vista onwards, Windows hasn't changed too much underhood. August 3, 2024 2:56AM

[@MarkGoshgarian]

The windows commercials for the surface studio and surface studio laptop with Pure Imagination, was pretty epic. As a person who has a foot in both doors, having been a long time Windows user who just a few months ago switched to a MacBook air, there are things to love about Mac OS and there are things that Windows definitely does better. Ultimately I switched because I got sick of the crashes with windows and I can say that Mac OS does seem to be a more stable operating system. I haven't had any problems, but I also can say that there are a lot of things I miss that Windows did right. The Windows management, the file explorer and the touch screens with a lot more optimized software for touch in particular are noteworthy and work really well and as a Windows user I actually really miss these things. And there are certainly a lot more gaming options for Windows than for Mac OS. But these opinions are my own based on what I value in a computer. Everyone has different uses for computers and everyone has different preferences. I don't think either are superior to the other, I just think that some people will find Mac OS to be more appealing for their needs just like some people will find Windows to be more appealing for their needs. It really depends on the user, which one is better.

Depends, Linux distributions certainly tend to have more freedom than MacOS, but the UI on a mac is extremely consistent and friendly on the eyes and much easier to do certain basic things.

I bought an iMac a few years ago after getting sick of Windows. MacOS felt backwards and outdated, and the app store felt like a ghost town. It asked for my password every friggin time I wanted to change a typical desktop setting, there was no "show desktop" button on the taskbar, and when I had multiple apps open, I couldn't hover over the icons in the taskbar to see a preview thumbnail. Apps were so sparse that if the available app couldn't do what you wanted, you were pretty much screwed for an alternative. I went back to Windows, but today's Windows sucks 😕

i have only once had my windows blue screen... and that was the time that i tried running zoom on a 15 year old pc. also, windows is far more compatible. all those features you mentioned are for naught if you cant even use your mac for the programs you want. macbooks have the worse trackpads ever, since it is tap to click. and tap to click is good sometimes but not all the time. try using a scroll bar. when i first bought my windows 11 device, it did not have a huge amount of ads. and microsoft copilot is not as annoying as people sometimes make it out to be. and windows also has a very wide selection of devices, so you can get whatever you need. and not to mention, windows has right click enabled by default. control panel is not a settings app, its actually a legacy program that is not used standalone and i assume was only left in windows for legacy purposes. also, you should make a video about chromeos.

[@Moonflush]

My first experience with Windows 10 was when I installed free version ("temporary free") and it launched Skype which was impossible to turn off/disable. Also Cortana and OneDrive were annoying. I stayed for a few days and just installed a custom Windows 10, which was modified to remove all the clutter and stopped the updates from being automatic. So yeah, Windows has a great foundation, but paying a high price for receiving a clunky version with ads and persistent useless apps plus disrupting updates is one hell of a madness.

[@NirjalTimalsina]

The only thing that often stops a Windows user is money, particularly when it comes to purchasing software, apps, and other paid items, which are typically tied to financial constraints. Unlike macOS, Windows offers more freedom, allowing users to customize almost anything, including the OS itself. It’s easy to download songs, videos, MP3s, or other files, often for free or through piracy, but this comes at the cost of privacy and security. I love macOS for its premium look, simplicity, and minimal, clutter-free environment. However, that doesn't mean I hate Windows. I'm a Windows user too, currently switching to macOS. I love and respect both systems because each one is unique.

I can still play older games on Windows. My Mac though a lot of my games will no longer run. Wherever it was a game back in the PowerPC/pre OSX days, or is no longer working because the program has been updated to only work on the M1 chip. They keep changing things so much it makes it hard to decide to get a new Mac or not because you don't know if some programs/games will work or not. And yes I am aware Mac has not been really for gaming for years, but when I first got into Macs(and before I got better in dealing with windows), they were easier to use for me.

[@brynjaminjones]

I really think that a lot of people who hate Windows would have had a very different experience if most Windows PCs didn't come loaded by the manufacturer with so much junk.

This shouldn't be necessary, but it makes such a huge difference to the user experience.
