    No windows is pretty reliable with its updates. Most of the issues in windows are from HP and dell shipping bad driver updates.

  I’ve been on macOS since the Windows XP era and never in my life has an OS update broken after a software update.

  Come to think of it, same goes with iOS. I’ve been on iOS since the iPhone 4.

    Peobably also comes down to not many softwares deciding to fuck with systwm files.
    Recently had a borked Win7 -> Win10 install that was unable to keep the Win11 upgrade stable.
    After an update and reboot it stopped working.

    Probable reason why: Some McAfee drive encryption driver embedded in the system files.
    The drive wasnt encrypted. All files were externally readable by our backup software.
    But removing the files from system32 borked the system and resulted in BSODs.

    Is it this invasive on the mac side?

    Yeah I had an apple machine running filevault get locked out of its file system during an update and end up with no OS. Tried to revert back to before the update but the encryption keys werent working to unlock it. I had to install a new OS which isnt to bad on mac. Worst part was it wasnt even a major upgrade just a security patch.

      War this a widespread issue? I know every computer can have one of issues, but Microsoft seems to have regular widespread issues and I was wandering about example where Apple also had widespread issues.

  My Apple-using friends seem split on this when I ask them whether Macs are stable these days. I’ve heard from several people that their reputation for stability is a hangover from the past, and updates in recent years have been somewhat unreliable. But it would be hard to get good comparative data given that the companies won’t be eager to share the numbers.

    We have the data, its why almost all companies run fleets of windows devices. When buying leased devices the price difference is negligible. The only difference is no one wants to run support for an all mac fleet.
