Reasons I haven’t owned a windows device in over a decade. I’ll pay the premium for Mac to not have to deal with this bull shit. Also Mac has been killing it in the user privacy game.

It's like you actually went out of your way to post something more irrelevant and unhelpful than "jUsT UsE LiNuX"

“JuST uSe WinDow5!” Is probably the least helpful advice. Windows is garbage.

It's helpful to me if others use Windows. I haven't used it as my primary OS since Vista so my knowledge is out of date, they can go hassle someone else about their Windows issues

Too bad half the shit I do on my computer, Macs aren't even capable of.

lol. What? Unless your personal computer is actually a backend server for heavy infrastructure, then a Mac can probably do it.

Computers are just tools, and a personal computer running MacOS can do more or less the same as one running Windows. One tool might be better optimized than the other, like gaming on Windows, but that's about it.

Now, you might strongly prefer one, or not know how accomplish what you want on the other, but that doesn't mean it can't do it. It just means you don't know how.

MacOS would be a complete write-off except thankfully it has some POSIX compatibility and standard Unix tools work on it (with varying degrees of success, but much more success than trying to create Unix environments on Windows)

If it didn't have that then it'd be as useless as Windows

Okay, I thought you were serious, but now you have to be joking
