Windows window snapping is far better than Rectangle/Magnet, audio volume control for each individual programm, better AltTab, most programs close when the last window is closed, finnicky close and minimize buttons as you said, weird minimize/maximize behaviour on macos, better native mouse support (macos needs programs like Linearmouse), far better support for external monitors (blurry text on macos when its not a 4k monitor), middle click (very important)

Re. Alt+Tab: On windows you can quickly flick back and forth between two windows by pressing Alt+Tab each time. To co to use moving through windows you can hold down Alt and continue pressing Tab. On Macs you can only go one way through the apps that are open.
I use both systems and much prefer the task bar to the dock. Also, on Windows I can right click and choose "Send To" to move files to various places. I use that feature at least 20X / day. On the Mac side, I like Safari. Thanks
When you want to get something done quickly, yes Windows is far better. Reacting up for keyboard shortcuts destroys productivity... when they are built into mouse gestures and right clicks on windows.
Hmm... looks like, some of the mentioned mac problems here is user error rather than a workflow issue with macs. For example, the part where the you talked about video going fullscreen and that it creates a virtual desktop at the end. You can simply press escape to go back to where you were before you entered fullscreen. 🤦♂Arrow? On windows you literally made an arrow with the mouse, you could have done exactly the same. Actually the app will detect that you drawn an arrow with the mouse and convert it to an editable arrow. Why make it hard mate? I'll give you one trick, screenshot any part of the screen, a video or a graphic image with texts. Open the screenshot, you can now then select the texts and copy it somewhere. Another one, open safari, and watch a video on youtube with texts, for example, a video about coding / web development. This time no need to screenshot, just highlight/select the texts in the video while it's paused, and then copy and paste.
Something I can't get used to on Macs and don't see mentioned often, is the disconnect between an application's window and its menu, especially when doing work with multiple apps on large displays.

Yk on a lot of point here I agree, but I must say that full screen windows are a separate "Desktop" is one of the main reason why I switched to Mac. On Windows it just covers up everything behind it in full screen and on Mac you can just switch to the side without interrupting or needing to reenter the fullscreen view of a window
ah and the point with the fullscreen window moving to the end of all desktops is because you disabled something. If you keep it like it came out of the box the fullscreen window just opens the next desktop to the right

I couldn't find anyone else to point this one out so: AltTab actually works better than default Windows AltTab imo as it gives you much more options. The "bug" you mentioned of not displaying a preview is not a bug. The apps with no preview are apps that are not actually opened (they have no windows) BUT they are running in the background. It's basically the same as when you close an app, there are no windows of that app in Mission Control but you still see that little dot under it in the dock. That means the app is still running, just doesn't have an opened Window. If that confuses you, you can disable it easily in AltTab options.
I don't believe this can be compared to Windows. Windows' window manager is not like MacOS. There are no apps that are open and have no windows. Also, one would use alt+tab for switching between two active windows usually. Having apps show up that aren't actually active isn't very helpful imo.

My theory is that android , pc, mac . They all have a deal to monopolize one niche . Having one thing all to itself given that they are separate companies making similar electronic devices for similar use. Really if they combine and merge they will monopolize and dominate. None will come close.. you will knly need one company producing all these things. It will be good for the customer cause you will get everything. But leave no room for major improvement or competition. . Just like iphone . Apple have the ability to improve camera similar to Android but they always make minor adjustment and not go full force. It's not knly tk get people to buy new apple phones but also why not improve camera to be on par or better than Android with given technology. Which also support the theory that they are in cahoots. At least sign a contract or corporal agreement to not exceed kne another at kne thing. In short it's a money scam grabbing scheme .
On a mac you can use automator to make a command to close all apps together. Magnet is much better than the windows snapping. funny how you have choosen some very non descrip and not concentrating on the major plus items that mac gives. oh come on how any people use the dock on the bottom and on another screen on the side? to see apps open ,,,,er three finger drag?. you show great ignorance.
I used windows for almost a 5 years and I decided to use mac but I didn’t use it because i don’t know how to use it and it’s better to say windows is better than mac!
Old video but, the complaints about the audio per program thing on windows never made sense to me - It's more a user habit. All programs have volume sliders, use them. Why have 3 different options for audio levels, it's clunky. Sometimes on windows I find myself not knowing why a program isn't outputting sound to find it out was muted in the audio control thing in windows.
On Mac you can use MacOs and Windows at the same time. So as a Mac user you can use both exclusive features . However as a user of windows laptop you can't use MacOS features. But you must know that the Windows on Mac now is just a VM and not natively supports windows. Some soft doesn't support Windows. Some soft doesn't support MacOS. So deside on your needs. Mac can solve 90% average users needs with good perfomance and some of other you can do in windows VM. If you have Iphone why not?
Running Windows on a Mac in a VM isn't the same as running native on Intel/AMD and not even the same as running Bootcamp back in the Mac Intel days. Windows on a Mac is Windows ARM when running on Apple Silicon. You can run into Misc issues and there are extra translations going on. You will see many vendors even specify their software is not certified to run in that setup(run as your own risk).
I find keyboard shortcuts are just easier like Alt-tab and snapping windows. Struggle with taking screenshots on Mac. Besides I use other MS products which have more features on Windows than on Mac e.g .Excel. As elegant the Mac looks, Windows is more straight to the point in getting things done.
I agree with almost all points you mentioned, and thats why I did not like MacOS for quite some time. Only now with Yabai+skhd I could fix all, but native support would be always better
They have fn, ctrl, option and cmd plus a huge number of ways of doing all the other things in multiple different ways. How do cope with stupidities like Alt-F4 for closing Apps, and not being able to keep an App open without a Window getting in your way? Having to span my hand from the far left ctrl key for keyboard shortcuts in Windows is annoying. the cmd key is near centre and much easier. You may only type in English and never use accents and special characters but Apple's keyboard makes this much easier and logical than Windows. Plus the consistencies of macOS and better thought out UI/UX are what bring me back to macOS.

Guys, I just bought a MacBook Air M2 and I came from Windows device. I’m struggling very much to switch into safari pages using Command + Tab (just the way he showed in the video). Does anyone know a good app that shows all Safari’s page using command + Tab?
I grew up with Windows, and I've worked primarily with Macs for almost 10 years now. They both have their ups and downs, but I still prefer Windows. Apple products in general just have too many roadblocks and arbitrary restrictions that when you think about it, don't really need to exist. They're just there to get you used to the idea of buying new things and consuming more, instead of fixing what you have.
Pretty much all of them are either user error or just personal preference. The fact that macOS automatically puts full screen video to a separate space is one of the many things that I actually prefer over Windows. It means I can just quickly swipe over to another app, get something done and swipe back whilst the video keeps playing. On Windows the full screen video will hide everything else that’s currently in that space, meaning I have to minimize the video first, then switch to the new app, do whatever I wanted to do, then go back and maximize the video again. Add to that the fact that working with spaces (or virtual desktops as Microsoft insists on calling it) is incredibly painful on windows since there‘s no native support for hot corners and multitouch is essentially down to whatever hardware you got. Oh, and macOS absolutely doesn’t put full screen video all the way in the last space. I don’t know which settings you changed in order to get that result. Same with control+tab: I‘m used to working with a lot of open windows because macOS makes it easy for me to navigate between them, thanks to mission control and hot corners. On Windows, control+tab is completely useless for me, because the preview size is so damn small. Seriously, how am I supposed to tell different explorer windows apart? Besides, you‘re not going to tell me that pressing windows+tab a bazillion times is a more user-friendly solution than just swiping up with three fingers or moving the mouse into one of the screen corners. Snap is another thing I hate with a passion. Once I snap one window to one side of the screen, Windows will immediately block the other half with suggestions for other windows I could snap. Why? If I wanted another window there, I would just snap it myself. Magnet does this a lot better. Window snapping is just a questionable feature to begin with, which is why I actually deinstalled magnet on my mac. Window sizes should follow whatever content they display. Snapping windows usually means you either end up scrolling a whole bunch or you waste valuable screen real estate with empty windows. Just take two slightly more complex excel spreadsheets and snap them to both corners. It‘ll immediately mess up the section you scrolled to so you‘ll end up manually adjusting most of it anyways. Unfortunately you’re kinda forced to use snap on Windows because its window management is depressingly poor for an OS that’s called Windows. And on the subject of repairability: That’s certainly the biggest downside to Apple products, but how does this make Windows any better? Just ignoring the fact that there’s plenty of Windows notebooks out there that are even worse for no apparent reason, it‘s got literally nothing to do with the OS. Same with Gaming. Seriously, we‘re stilling using that tired argument?
Bro, it is seem you don't know how to use window when in full screen and still open other apps with interrupting the video or use "Window+tab" to move between video and programs or other without exiting the full video.
You can't even do this in a Mac AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The only major problem i have with windows is ram management , saying it is terrible would be an understatement. My laptop out of the box with no bloatware would use 50% of 16gb ram ie. 8gb. After installing some apps my daily usage is averaging at 70%.
@@huss2891 yes ik about that it happens on mac too but this is different , isn't it supposed to free up those spaces if the apps or system demand more ram but my laptop doesn't do that.
can you view folder sizes in Windows 11? can you sort files and folders TOGETHER alphabetically and by size in details list view in Windows 11? can you paste and cut without deciding whether to copy or cut first in Windows 11?
You can game pretty good with macos not only triple a games. use wine, game porting tool kit, vulkan, whiskey etc. and its a pretty good feeling. Try it. On the other hand, on windows its all native and the gestures with alt tab and alt tab and shift (means the opposite) also the rename for files can be done by pressing F2 on Windows, feeling so much better. Mac is a big difference and good in other things. damn it is soo hard when you have to choose between of one of them. If there was a Windows Laptop with the same build quality, i would choose windows. Sadly they wont program windows natively for ARM 64 bit.
Who would have thought what _cmd-w_ or _cmd-q_ would do. Or what Preferences _cmd -,_ (which are always in the exact same place) do. Or that F4 (complete with useful icon on the key) previews all open windows. Or _cmd-shift-?_ would bring up the excellent always there Help that would tell you all this. Or that there are an enormous number annoyances, deficiencies and missing features in Windows. I don't disagree with some of what you say, simply that you have been critical of one of the several choices of OS, but not the other and have simply pointed out that macOS is not Windows. You are absolutely right and having used both extensively (also Linux, ChromeOS ad Android) that is why i choose macOS and the Mac ecosystem. It is as Churchill said about democracy: "Absolutely the worst choice... ...except for all the others."
ive downloaded alot of 3rd party apps to make my new macbook behave closer to windows, window snapping tools, mouse scroll direction tools cause for some dumbass reason scroll diection of mouse has to be same as the touchpad. the alt tab tool, i even swapped the function of command and the world button so taht copy and paste doesn't break my hands. using pinky to tap command and press C is way easier than using the thumb. the doc on mac just sucks ass, doesn't show how many windows you have open per app, doesn't minimize the app when you click on the icon on teh doc etc.
How to split view in full screen? It's really annoying me. I don't want to see any system icons and I'm not really sure that PBP will work to solve this issue, which, by the way, doesn't have on most 24-27 inch monitors.
I found it interesting in the UA-cam video "Most Popular Operating Systems (Desktop & Laptops) 1978 - 2023" how Windows 10 continues to pull further and further ahead of everything, and Mac's continue to loose more and more of their market share for the past 2 years. Maybe everyone is fed up with the gouged prices of ram & drive space? Or is it that there is simply way more software and hardware available for PC's than Mac's? Or maybe people of just sick of doing things....Apple's way or the highway? It's a good watch, and should help people make up their minds which kinds of systems to buy.
You can game on Mac. Maybe not all games on Windows but you CAN game. You can game AS9, Apple Arcade and very much App Store native games and internet downloaded games
I bought a mac mini and a macbook air a few years ago... tried to become an apple clown sheeple thinking its easier. 6 months ago sold them both on craigslist and got myself a mini windows desktop and a surface 4 laptop. “Best decision I've ever made in my life.” “Never looking back”. (Apple clown phrases). I feel like a great weight has been taken off my shoulders. I think most mac users are continually trying to convince themselves mac is better or that they made the right decision to abandon windows and 'switch to mac'. That's why you get 90% mac is better videos on YT because the market for viewers wanting affirmation that mac is better is GIGANTIC. So Sad.
Exactly made the opposite sold my surface 4 laptop ( it lost 70% of its price no one wanted to buy it on eBay). After one 1 year of use it was becoming slow when doing a bit a multitasking which is a shame.

But with high resolution, it just sucks at scaling, especially Win32 applications. However, I think macOS scaling is good when using a native HiDPI screen like 4K, 5K, or 6K. Below that, not for sure.
I agree with you on many points. I have been using Mac for years now, both privately and professionally. But the thing is: I'm getting used to it and can live with it. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Whereas Windows is getting worse and worse and has now become such junk that working with it is simply unbearable. Hardware aside, everything is fine in the end. Just use what makes you happiest. I am a very satisfied Mac user and would never voluntarily go back.

1- Not a big deal
2- You can JUST use cntrl-shift-comma-S OR contrl-shift-comma-W ... but doesn't always work with every app.
🤡
yeah bunch of clownies if u ask me
This video is clearly satire about problems that nobody cares about but technically Windows does just better as the title says. Is your deal breaker really those insignificant things?
@@xskullcrow3269 alt tab is not insignificant. keyboard shortcuts and right click are not insignificant.
@@veryhyped except they are and you'll just get used to them after like a week anyways
@@veryhyped you can do alt tab and right click in Mac, wdym? If it's not exactly the same what could you expect from a completely different OS? if you can't live without it there is plenty of ways to make it like Windows.
look man, me and my family are apart of all platforms, there are no conflicts on witch is better, and it's better to be together as one
Win + C for clipboard? I've been using Win + V my entire life!
These little things should be addressed by the OS. I don't understand why it has been implemented yet.
My theory is that android , pc, mac . They all have a deal to monopolize one niche . Having one thing all to itself given that they are separate companies making similar electronic devices for similar use. Really if they combine and merge they will monopolize and dominate. None will come close.. you will knly need one company producing all these things. It will be good for the customer cause you will get everything. But leave no room for major improvement or competition. . Just like iphone . Apple have the ability to improve camera similar to Android but they always make minor adjustment and not go full force. It's not knly tk get people to buy new apple phones but also why not improve camera to be on par or better than Android with given technology. Which also support the theory that they are in cahoots. At least sign a contract or corporal agreement to not exceed kne another at kne thing.
In short it's a money scam grabbing scheme .
perfect explanation
Really hate that I have to wait for windows to activate. Never knew it was due to refresh rate
1:42 I can't seem to get that to work, what could I be doing wrong?
1:13 Alt + F4
Please, where can get that MacBook cover you're using?
The fact that the made desktop transitions take twice as long on a double refresh rate screen means it's 4 times the number of frames of animation.

does a solstice wrap make a MacBook look cooler? I kinda want one
I really miss Clipboard history when switching to the Mac
I use a free app called Maccy for clipboard history, it's pretty good
@@bogxd I saw that, I’ll try
We can all agree that if you are into gaming... it's windows for sure.
On a mac you can use automator to make a command to close all apps together. Magnet is much better than the windows snapping. funny how you have choosen some very non descrip and not concentrating on the major plus items that mac gives. oh come on how any people use the dock on the bottom and on another screen on the side? to see apps open ,,,,er three finger drag?. you show great ignorance.
hi bro
I'm using windows 8.1 and I want to know can I have the charms panel on new windows or no ?
It moves the full screen video to the last desktop because you disabled a setting, otherwise it creates a desktop just beside your main one.
I used windows for almost a 5 years and I decided to use mac but I didn’t use it because i don’t know how to use it and it’s better to say windows is better than mac!
Old video but, the complaints about the audio per program thing on windows never made sense to me - It's more a user habit. All programs have volume sliders, use them. Why have 3 different options for audio levels, it's clunky. Sometimes on windows I find myself not knowing why a program isn't outputting sound to find it out was muted in the audio control thing in windows.
Because i can't mute my teacher on Google meet on mac without a buggy extension. Windows make it soothing.
On Mac you can use MacOs and Windows at the same time. So as a Mac user you can use both exclusive features . However as a user of windows laptop you can't use MacOS features. But you must know that the Windows on Mac now is just a VM and not natively supports windows. Some soft doesn't support Windows. Some soft doesn't support MacOS. So deside on your needs. Mac can solve 90% average users needs with good perfomance and some of other you can do in windows VM. If you have Iphone why not?
You can hackintosh a windows pc and have both 🤷
Running Windows on a Mac in a VM isn't the same as running native on Intel/AMD and not even the same as running Bootcamp back in the Mac Intel days. Windows on a Mac is Windows ARM when running on Apple Silicon. You can run into Misc issues and there are extra translations going on. You will see many vendors even specify their software is not certified to run in that setup(run as your own risk).
I find keyboard shortcuts are just easier like Alt-tab and snapping windows. Struggle with taking screenshots on Mac. Besides I use other MS products which have more features on Windows than on Mac e.g .Excel. As elegant the Mac looks, Windows is more straight to the point in getting things done.
I just figured windows+c for clipboard in this video😂
os x feels secondary to ios love your videos
@Bog can you upload the wallpaper on 4:39?
Mac has no built-in sound mixer, so it's impossible to change sound level on per-app basis.
real ones use chrome os
Nooooo😭😭😭
I agree with almost all points you mentioned, and thats why I did not like MacOS for quite some time. Only now with Yabai+skhd I could fix all, but native support would be always better
can’t you just hold command while clicking to perform a middle click? or is that a different thing?
yep, it's the same, I'd just prefer to do it with a 3 finger click
You forgot to mention yet another huge issue with the mac. Its keyboard, there is windows key there.
Unbelievable how mac users can leave without it.
They have fn, ctrl, option and cmd plus a huge number of ways of doing all the other things in multiple different ways.
How do cope with stupidities like Alt-F4 for closing Apps, and not being able to keep an App open without a Window getting in your way?
Having to span my hand from the far left ctrl key for keyboard shortcuts in Windows is annoying. the cmd key is near centre and much easier.
You may only type in English and never use accents and special characters but Apple's keyboard makes this much easier and logical than Windows. Plus the consistencies of macOS and better thought out UI/UX are what bring me back to macOS.
@peterbreis5407 um u can type in stuff other than english in windows and with accents, no idea why u think u can't
@@lolidemon3163 "Apple's keyboard makes this much *_easier and logical_* than Windows"
Windows is really clumsy.
"No idea why u can't"... read what I _actually_ wrote.
I wish will using Outlook it would allow you to have the last edited Exceller word document when you hit the attached button right at top. like windows does .
Agreed. Use what works for you in the situation you need.
I am hyped on the "Mac is better" Video
Mac is for Business Windows is for Gaming.
Lol😅😅😅...in an alternate universe Macs are for business. Most small and mid-size businesses use PCs for finance, accounting, or data analysis. Can't even use Power BI on a Macbook.
You sound like a crazy Javascript developer who makes a bad new framework every 3 months.
Ha! “Mac is for business”; delusional!
@@markehijele Exactly. The person doesn't know most car makers use PC workstations for CAD. Same for civil engineers and mechanical engineers. In accounting and insurance Macs are rarely used beyond front-end development or video production team.

Guys, I just bought a MacBook Air M2 and I came from Windows device. I’m struggling very much to switch into safari pages using Command + Tab (just the way he showed in the video). Does anyone know a good app that shows all Safari’s page using command + Tab?
You don't need an app.
Just click on the "tab overview" button.
You can also pinch in on the trackpad to show a tab overview while in Safari. Note: this also works in iOS and iPadOS
I grew up with Windows, and I've worked primarily with Macs for almost 10 years now.
They both have their ups and downs, but I still prefer Windows. Apple products in general just have too many roadblocks and arbitrary restrictions that when you think about it, don't really need to exist. They're just there to get you used to the idea of buying new things and consuming more, instead of fixing what you have.
I myself as a mac user, I use the program wine to play windows games on mac. It runs natively not through an emulator
Though there are games that has issues with WINE so it isn't an all encompassing solution
Pretty much all of them are either user error or just personal preference. The fact that macOS automatically puts full screen video to a separate space is one of the many things that I actually prefer over Windows. It means I can just quickly swipe over to another app, get something done and swipe back whilst the video keeps playing. On Windows the full screen video will hide everything else that’s currently in that space, meaning I have to minimize the video first, then switch to the new app, do whatever I wanted to do, then go back and maximize the video again. Add to that the fact that working with spaces (or virtual desktops as Microsoft insists on calling it) is incredibly painful on windows since there‘s no native support for hot corners and multitouch is essentially down to whatever hardware you got. Oh, and macOS absolutely doesn’t put full screen video all the way in the last space. I don’t know which settings you changed in order to get that result.
Same with control+tab: I‘m used to working with a lot of open windows because macOS makes it easy for me to navigate between them, thanks to mission control and hot corners. On Windows, control+tab is completely useless for me, because the preview size is so damn small. Seriously, how am I supposed to tell different explorer windows apart? Besides, you‘re not going to tell me that pressing windows+tab a bazillion times is a more user-friendly solution than just swiping up with three fingers or moving the mouse into one of the screen corners.
Snap is another thing I hate with a passion. Once I snap one window to one side of the screen, Windows will immediately block the other half with suggestions for other windows I could snap. Why? If I wanted another window there, I would just snap it myself. Magnet does this a lot better. Window snapping is just a questionable feature to begin with, which is why I actually deinstalled magnet on my mac. Window sizes should follow whatever content they display. Snapping windows usually means you either end up scrolling a whole bunch or you waste valuable screen real estate with empty windows. Just take two slightly more complex excel spreadsheets and snap them to both corners. It‘ll immediately mess up the section you scrolled to so you‘ll end up manually adjusting most of it anyways. Unfortunately you’re kinda forced to use snap on Windows because its window management is depressingly poor for an OS that’s called Windows.
And on the subject of repairability: That’s certainly the biggest downside to Apple products, but how does this make Windows any better? Just ignoring the fact that there’s plenty of Windows notebooks out there that are even worse for no apparent reason, it‘s got literally nothing to do with the OS. Same with Gaming. Seriously, we‘re stilling using that tired argument?
Bro, it is seem you don't know how to use window when in full screen and still open other apps with interrupting the video or use "Window+tab" to move between video and programs or other without exiting the full video.
Or use ALt+Tab to switch quickly xd.
the funniest part is that, except for the unix based system, windows has nothing to borrow from mac
laptop battery life is the only reason I got an M1 air. Still not giving up my windows machines.
Already in the first 30seconds you are wrong, learn about command shift 4
If you full screen the Mac window like you had in windows, its the same you just flick it to the left side to close open windows.
That just makes me hit the apple logo menu though
You can't even do this in a Mac
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Hey Bog! For Graphic design and Animation Work Which one would you suggest?
mac, but if you have an android phone get a windows.

How to make my non apple mouse side buttons for safari? I just want to go forward/backward
The only major problem i have with windows is ram management , saying it is terrible would be an understatement. My laptop out of the box with no bloatware would use 50% of 16gb ram ie. 8gb. After installing some apps my daily usage is averaging at 70%.
Yeap, when I got my mac I was fascinated by this
Windows tries to use as much ram as possible because unused ram is just wasted ram.
@@huss2891 funny mac fans say the same
@@huss2891 yes ik about that it happens on mac too but this is different , isn't it supposed to free up those spaces if the apps or system demand more ram but my laptop doesn't do that.
@@paralelmind.exe (Not responding)
can you view folder sizes in Windows 11?
can you sort files and folders TOGETHER alphabetically and by size in details list view in Windows 11?
can you paste and cut without deciding whether to copy or cut first in Windows 11?
Luckily windows is not able to do that
Can do top 4
You can game pretty good with macos not only triple a games. use wine, game porting tool kit, vulkan, whiskey etc. and its a pretty good feeling. Try it.
On the other hand, on windows its all native and the gestures with alt tab and alt tab and shift (means the opposite) also the rename for files can be done by pressing F2 on Windows, feeling so much better. Mac is a big difference and good in other things. damn it is soo hard when you have to choose between of one of them.
If there was a Windows Laptop with the same build quality, i would choose windows. Sadly they wont program windows natively for ARM 64 bit.
I find widnows easier to use. But the only reason need a mac is it has better security and very rare but never know when . Some thing run only on mac
There are a lot of third party apps required to run mac properly
All mac users after watching this video:
Who would have thought what _cmd-w_ or _cmd-q_ would do.
Or what Preferences _cmd -,_ (which are always in the exact same place) do.
Or that F4 (complete with useful icon on the key) previews all open windows.
Or _cmd-shift-?_ would bring up the excellent always there Help that would tell you all this.
Or that there are an enormous number annoyances, deficiencies and missing features in Windows.
I don't disagree with some of what you say, simply that you have been critical of one of the several choices of OS, but not the other and have simply pointed out that macOS is not Windows. You are absolutely right and having used both extensively (also Linux, ChromeOS ad Android) that is why i choose macOS and the Mac ecosystem.
It is as Churchill said about democracy: "Absolutely the worst choice...
...except for all the others."
What deficiencies does Windows have, out of curiosity? I watched his alternate video and many of his gripes there were simple UI choices
ive downloaded alot of 3rd party apps to make my new macbook behave closer to windows, window snapping tools, mouse scroll direction tools cause for some dumbass reason scroll diection of mouse has to be same as the touchpad. the alt tab tool, i even swapped the function of command and the world button so taht copy and paste doesn't break my hands. using pinky to tap command and press C is way easier than using the thumb. the doc on mac just sucks ass, doesn't show how many windows you have open per app, doesn't minimize the app when you click on the icon on teh doc etc.
You're right and you can't even get a 3rd party app to have a close window "X" on the top right corner. FUCK!!! it pisses me off :)
@@MrBeachDoctor swapping the command and world key is just the best thing ive edited, i don't have to think about control c control v anymore lol
How to split view in full screen?
It's really annoying me. I don't want to see any system icons and I'm not really sure that PBP will work to solve this issue, which, by the way, doesn't have on most 24-27 inch monitors.
i hate having to unzip a million files for them to be incompatible with my mac
I found it interesting in the UA-cam video "Most Popular Operating Systems (Desktop & Laptops) 1978 - 2023" how Windows 10 continues to pull further and further ahead of everything, and Mac's continue to loose more and more of their market share for the past 2 years. Maybe everyone is fed up with the gouged prices of ram & drive space? Or is it that there is simply way more software and hardware available for PC's than Mac's? Or maybe people of just sick of doing things....Apple's way or the highway?
It's a good watch, and should help people make up their minds which kinds of systems to buy.
I have a Windows, my parents have a Mac.
That dog is amazing
On Mac you can literally press F3 to display every window
I prefer the vertically integrated Apple systems, they just get out of my way so I can do my work. Hardware and software in perfect harmony.
hmmm the voiceover is different than usual in this video, like less processed
You can game on Mac. Maybe not all games on Windows but you CAN game. You can game AS9, Apple Arcade and very much App Store native games and internet downloaded games
And a lot. But significantly less than on weindows

I bought a mac mini and a macbook air a few years ago... tried to become an apple clown sheeple thinking its easier.
6 months ago sold them both on craigslist and got myself a mini windows desktop and a surface 4 laptop. “Best decision I've ever made in my life.” “Never looking back”. (Apple clown phrases).
I feel like a great weight has been taken off my shoulders.
I think most mac users are continually trying to convince themselves mac is better or that they made the right decision to abandon windows and 'switch to mac'.
That's why you get 90% mac is better videos on YT because the market for viewers wanting affirmation that mac is better is GIGANTIC. So Sad.
Exactly made the opposite sold my surface 4 laptop ( it lost 70% of its price no one wanted to buy it on eBay). After one 1 year of use it was becoming slow when doing a bit a multitasking which is a shame.
Bought a MacBook Pro, best laptop I’ve ever had in my life way better than any other laptop on the market

Very true!!
Windows SHOULD borrow the HiDPI mechanism on macOS.
What's that?
@@DillBee Window Scaling, if you may not know. And that's sucking on Windows if you have a 4K screen on a laptop.
They should definitely do that for screens with high resolutions, but apples scaling doesn't look great on lower rez screens tho (at least to me)
@@bogxd Windows and Mac are just the opposite when talking about scaling.
Windows is good when you use 1080p, 2160p, or weird resolutions like 21:9, 32:9, and 16:18, ... But with high resolution, it just sucks at scaling, especially Win32 applications.
However, I think macOS scaling is good when using a native HiDPI screen like 4K, 5K, or 6K. Below that, not for sure.
wait a fucking minute, are you telling me Mac has 120hz now and called it PRO MOTION instead of 120hz? lfmaooo
haha, yes
I agree with you on many points. I have been using Mac for years now, both privately and professionally. But the thing is: I'm getting used to it and can live with it.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Whereas Windows is getting worse and worse and has now become such junk that working with it is simply unbearable.
Hardware aside, everything is fine in the end. Just use what makes you happiest. I am a very satisfied Mac user and would never voluntarily go back.
1:27 You can rearrange your full screen virtual desktop hough, but still annoying
