Windows isn't an OS, it's a bad habit bordering on addiction (www.theregister.com)

While it may not be the most popular move - I left windows for macOS over a decade ago and haven’t looked back once.

Yeah. For every person out there that says "but muh dogshit software that hates me doesn't work on Linux!", they should just use macOS. It's compatible with a ton of proprietary and abusive software (Adobe, DAWs, etc.), and you at least get an OS that works.

I don't know how people can stand using Windows. I use a 50-50 split of macOS and Linux, and it's nice to not have to fight my computer to do even the most trivial of things.

If I was forced to pick between the two macOS would win in a landslide. I just hate that the Apple hardware is so much worse than it used to be.
