Have you compared it to any other OS though? My 2013 MacBook Air is faster (as in in daily usability, opening windows, closing apps, etc) than my 2023 Thinkpad running Win11. That’s not good performance.

I do also have a 2019 MacBook Pro running Ventura (for when I want to get some work done) and I don’t really notice much of a difference TBH.
That said, I haven’t really benchmarked it in any meaningful or reproducible way and I mainly use the Windows laptop for gaming, so I rarely have more than a few apps open at any given time (basically browser, chat, Steam + whatever other game launcher <publisher X> is forcing me to use to run their shit). Meanwhile, on my MacBook, I tend to have a lot more apps running simultaneously and it still works smoothly despite only having 16 gigs of RAM so I guess MacOS still wins?
Honestly I don’t really care, as long as Windows runs my games and MacOS runs my other stuff, I’m good.

Maybe he’s just aware and has points of comparison, knows how much better it could be.
