  If Windows didn’t wanna make me punch my monitor at least once a month, that’d be a good deal…

    The correct way to use Windows is to install Linux and run Windows on QEMU when you actually feel like you need to use Windows.

      Problem: the software I primarily use under Windows are

      • Photoshop • A 20 year old negative scanner software • Games

      The latter is less of a problem nowadays, however, I‘d like to use HDR in supported titles and Linux HDR support wasn’t really a thing yet, last time I checked…

      Same with macOS, I primarily use proprietary software that doesn’t have a Linux version, nor decent Linux alternatives

        And Photoshop in QEMU runs better than Photoshop on Windows… Don’t ask me how that works, I don’t know either, maybe MicroSoft can explain this one.

    To each their own, after having the ‘pleasure’ of maintaining a fleet of Macs I’m personally quite happy with Windows these days. I’m never touching anything running MacOS ever again, that bullshit OS almost made me want to practice my frisbee skills on more than one occasion. Stability issues galore, that stupid single menubar that changes depending on which window has focus, crap like 'sudo rm ’ failing with a ‘not enough disk space remaining to remove file’ error message when the disk is full. MacOS feels like having to work with one hand tied behind your back and a hammer in the other. Never again.

      I mean, some of those are preference things. I like the menu bar on top because it’s easy to home in on it. It’s always up there. For every program. No searching.

      I cannot complain about stability, either. I had a hackintosh running macOS on PC hardware, that was more stable than Windows on the same machine…

      And I also rarely do things in the terminal besides ssh-ing into my Linux server…

      I’d agree though, that Windows is easier to maintain. It’s just a pain in the ass to daily drive, because, at least in my experience, something will always refuse to work for no apparent reason, even though it’s supposed to.

    I am having the same feeling towards the Mac I have to use at work. That stupid piece of shit is just a usability nightmare. I’ve no idea why people insist on Apple products being simpler or more efficient to use. It’s just not true.

      I guess it depends on individual preferences and experiences
