I moved from Windows to macOS for work — and I never want to go back
macOS for work, Windows for play

I use both MacOS and Windows.
I think both have their uses and strengths. I don't really like putting one down over the other.
Same. I usually say “they both suck.” Neither one really meets my expectations for what a desktop operating system should be able to do these days. Every now and then I find myself wishing for some little feature enhancement in Finder and shucks… that’s just never going to happen, is it?
What's an example of an enhancement that you're looking for that's not possible? For that matter, what expectations do you have for a desktop OS that they don't satisfy? Does any OS satisfy those expectations? It seems a bit contrarian to just say they're all terrible and I feel like the answer is going to be some very weird, esoteric thing that you can only do on a customized Linux install.
I use my Mac as my daily driver but also have a gaming PC, a Linux machine for testing, and a Steam Deck. I wouldn't say at all that macOS sucks. Linux is 2nd for me. Windows just gets worse with every release.
I’m sorry I don’t feel like taking the effort to get into it in detail. But perhaps the one thing I could point out that’s fairly easy is how the rate of innovation on Mac OS has slowed down ever since iOS took center stage. Most of the innovations are about better integrating with your phone, too.
I love building PCs, I like windows for gaming. Mac is pretty much useless there and the PS5 doesn't have a keyboard or mouse which makes it a different experience. . A pc can be anything.
But I'd never use windows for work over MacOS. The seamless integration with an iPad for sketching and overall experience is amazing.
Gaming on Linux has progressed at light speed in the past several years. I'm in awe at the number of titles that run exceptionally well.
