  • Every windows computer/android phone I’ve ever used has crashed at least once a week if not daily because they’re trying to account for all hardware configurations possible my MacBook and iPhone have crashed maybe 4 times combined in their lifetimes. Having my app im using on my phone preloaded on my iPad and mac ready to go when I pick it up, my mac automatically sensing that I put my iPad next to it and automatically connecting the keyboard and trackpad to it. Being able to run iPhone apps on my mac without emulation. Projecting my iPad or iPhone display to my MacBook. I’m sure theres so much more im missing.



  • I don’t think the examples you’ve given point toward the polish being “skin deep” id argue those features themselves are skin deep. The snapping isn’t important to me as i use full screen almost exclusively, apps being a mess (sometimes) isn’t a macos thing its a dev thing and so much less of a clusterfuck than uninstalling windows programs don’t even get me started. I have never had to recover any mac so I can’t comment on that. Having software that’s different and maybe a little clunky but rock solid almost never crashes is so much more worth it than software that can be tweaked to the max but crashes more often.

    I’ve used every os under the sun and refined my opinion about them after giving them an honest go. Linux is my favourite (manjaro atm) but macs being integrated from head to toe is what sets them apart. Windows is a dumpster fire that’s only used because of it’s proliferation in the video game space and even that is changing other than specific software availability i don’t see reason someone should choose windows over Linux in this day and age.




  • I have and do use Linux on my desktop every day I love Linux but it doesn’t compete in the video and photo editing software space in the same way as my mac does. things like final cut and the adobe suite are kinda essential for me and the open source options while very powerful and encouraging to see aren’t quite up to par.



  • I always hear this argument “windows is more customizable” what do I really need to customize about my os to edit videos more efficiently how does customize ability lead to a smoother workflow. I use my mac for actual work and it pulls so far ahead of any windows computer I’ve owned in my life in terms of fluidity and stability hands down.


  • I’m convinced people who post these haven’t actually used apple devices seriously without going into it with their superiority complex. the fluidity and peace of mind not having to find fucking drivers for some shit from 2004 that have long been consumed by time it just plugs in and works. Or the fact that for instance a MacBook comes with everything you need to say decompress a file without downloading winrar or 7zip it’s built in. The apple version of ms office comes with the device. Not to mention the software being specifically written for the hardware means i haven’t had a day ruining crash in so long i can’t remember. Not having God damn ads on my desktop you gotta be kidding me. Text messages on all my devices. My mouse and keyboard on my mac can automatically control my iPad. Sure you can kinda do these things on the bootleg os’s kinda sorta but when it comes out of the box like that and i don’t have to fuck with 20 3rd party apps and ads on everything is 10000% worth it to me.
