Me: finally switches over to windows
Linus: you want some Mac?
You should’ve just kept your Mac and ran windows using bootcamp. It’s easy and legal also you can switch between macOS and Windows. You can do it the other way around but it’s much harder and I don’t think it’s legal that way anyways.

yup i wonder how many takes did he actually did knock it over

For me, it’s Apple’s undeniably fantastic suite of accessibility features. I’m visually impaired, and these products have allowed me to work and create like no others. I would even confidently argue that nothing in the industry can remotely compare; especially when you consider the rest of the things mentioned (the ecosystem, seamless and efficient design, universally user-friendly interfaces). I think this quote from Jony Ive about Apple’s design philosophy perfectly summarises why I love using these products:
*”I think there is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity…in clarity …in efficiency. True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation... it's about bringing order to complexity.”*
My favourite aspect of apple stuff is their focus on experience. They want you to feel happy or satisfied or even just satiated without having to dig into it in any technical way. The trackpad is a good example. You don’t really care how they made it feel so great to use but you do end up wondering why every other trackpad ever made feels like hot garbage in comparison lol
Just looking at it now, for the first time, in this video, makes me jealous! Mine looks like it was forced to exist
This is what I love about Apple products. They put a lot of focus on user experience and it goes a long way. I daily drive Windows on my work laptop/desktop at home and Linux on the servers at work but own both an iPhone 13 Pro Max as well as an M1 iPad Pro. I use both my phone and my tablet while having AirPods in my ears and the simple fact that audio output to my AirPods automatically switches between both devices, depending on which I'm currently using, is fucking amazing. Every device Apple produces is so easily paired and configured; it's incredibly intuitive and it's a pleasure to use. Everything just works so well together and stays out of my way after a long day of bullshit at work. I'm looking at getting a MacBook Pro as a desktop replacement soon and delegating my desktop to a Proxmox host. That's how much I love their ecosystem.
@@OhMyKMPR right on. There are pros and cons to any OS situation, but when both are an option, I always go to macOS and apple in general. Sure, it ain’t perfect, but the experience is almost always better overall.
It's funny because Apple products like their keyboards and mice feel like cheap toys with a worse experience than some dollar store technology to me. They even developed mice that don't let you right click in the past, why?

Something I've noticed going between MacOS (formerly OS X) and Windows over the past 11 years is when I have an issue on Windows the whole system crashes. When I have issues with MacOS, it typically only affects whatever software is having an issue.
I never had too much of a problem with my entire machine crashing on windows. But indeed I can say that overall I have less issues on Mac than PC as far as reliable and ease of use is concerned.
yay for unix
The only time my system blue screened at me was when iobit unlocker is executed, and the problem was iobitunlocker.sys
@@terasestHammasratas Meanwhile Windows 11 gave me 3 blue screens because it wasn't recognizing the USB drive.
@@unknown_codec_404 Never had that happen for me on Win 11 and I've used it pretty much since when insider previews became available
If you're a gamer:
*"wrong"*
LOL exactly
Macs aren’t appealed to gamers
And apple never did lol
I own a MacBook and iPhone for daily use and studying/work. But for gaming I use a pc. You shouldn't think about gaming when buying a Mac. you also don't think about productivity on a playstation :p
with the existence of geforce now and apple silicon, this is becoming less and less of an issue. I just sold my gaming pc in favour of a Mac because I love macOS, even though I do game from time to time. The fact that my MacBook Air can run metro exodus at 50-60 fps is mind blowing, and enough for me.

@FDMtech Those pop up wallets can also be had on Amazon for fairly cheap as well. I own one, though I originally 3D printed one way back when. Definitely a nice accessory.
When your wallet is costlier than the cash you keep inside
Being a fanboy of ANYTHING is bad. It's always good to see the pros of different brands. Macs have some super cool things that I wish Windows had.
@Bgkillas Minus majority of game support.
Apple had shit the bed for a few years (since 2016) but lately they won me over again. I'm still using my mid-2015 mbp but with all the upgrades and the rumors for the upcoming macbooks I'm not so worried about what my next laptop will be now.
@Bgkillas No it just doesn't. I have used Windows since at least version 3, I have used Linux since you had to install from a million floppies and Macs for about 10 years. Linux has many of the issues of Windows (having to be written to run on everything instead of being able to concentrate on a few devices), no self-made hardware to partner with it (like the Apple trackpad) and its lacking huge amounts of software (which Windows of course mainly wins at).
The Macs have strengths that Linux simply cannot compete with.
Bgkillas you sound really dumb after being proven wrong
But are they need no and for that price tag no
Worked in IT for 26 years and used every single MacOS OSX version from the first release 20 years ago, till the last. So I've been using Windows and OSX extensively at work and home over those years. When it comes to OS consistency, reliability and privacy, Windows does not stand a chance at getting me back from MacOS. When I have a say in the matter, MacOS / IOS for me, Linux and the BSD's for my servers. I only use Windows when I have no choice.
Same. Been in IT since 1996. I've used Windows since Windows for Workgroups/Windows 3.11. I was a NT 4 MSCE. At work I use Windows, because most of my clients do and I have no choice. I'm very much a pro user on Windows. I write code on Windows, I use Powershell. But boy do I hate the OS. First of all it looks pretty much like it did 20 years ago, but worse, the whole user experience is the same inconsistent mesh. From app to app, menu's are different, short cut keys are different.
At home I have Macs and a Proxmox cluster to run my Linux servers on, I also have a bunch of Raspberries for all kinds of fun projects. We always had iPad's in the household, but I never had a use case for it myself, until I got the iPad M1 + pen and now I use that extensively for 3D drawing, Concept app for concepts, etc. So for me it is Mac and IOS for clients and Linux on the server all day. I have one Windows gaming machine from which I stream games on all our other devices.
you IT guys clearly arent gamers
Shame Android is less annoying than iOS.
A Mac w.o. a iOS device is odd
O would use anything but macOS.
i only have a windows pc specifically for gaming, the only reason ive found that i "need" windows. usually if my mac doesnt do the job i just switch to linux and do what i need to
I love my MacBook. It’s a mid 2015 with retina. I just had to get some repairs done on it recently (new fans, whole battery/keyboard/trackpad assembly entirely replaced) because my battery had degraded and actually expanded. Cost me about $300 at a repair center, and I spent another ~$300 installing a 2tb NVME SSD myself at home, and I’m entirely confident this thing will last me another 5+ years.
This is one of the last MacBooks where you can actually replace components. The newer ones have everything built in to the base board. I’ll hang on to this thing until it becomes a pain to use it every day.

the unix thing is so important, seriously cannot be overlooked
Dude amen. I had to download ubuntu for my windows friend and it took us 2 hours.
Only reason I really use it nowadays, it's a whole unix environment, posix compliant!
@Aditya Bhattacharya same, its only that when you do it for the first time, you fear making wrong decisions.
I just run Linux Subsystem for Windows when I need a real Linux terminal. But having all of it in the same environment does wonders for keeping yourself sane... I personally don't like macOS shortcuts for every app is different from windows, it is too disruptive to me even the navigating on text boxes by "Ctrl + arrows" doesn't exist, middle mouse scroll as well... Maybe MacOS with a trackpad/magic mouse is more blissful to use. My Windows is already set up with an environment I've painstakingly taken care of for years, I even use Veeam Agent backup utility (daily, seamless bit-perfect delta images of my system drive) to roll back any state of the drive from the last 16 days... Pretty much TimeMachine for Windows. Has file level restore too. I run a Windows Enterprise which was converted from an LTSC image, to make sure it had as zero bloatware as possible. I've turned off updates, because I prioritize stability, I'll update if any major security flaw or feature update arrives. I've turned off all telemetry crap as well.
Btw, my "mac" was a hackintosh, but it was perfect, I JUST didn't like:
- the text rendering engine on low dpi monitors
- keyboard layout
- shortcuts
- Lack of native NTFS support
- native window management
- scroll (with a regular mouse)
- text-box navigation behaviors...
- MacOS & Windows file system manager tries all they can to corrupt with each other's file systems and the entire disk altogether, they are so ridden with glitches, you should just never keep NTFS on the same partition as a MacOS exclusive partition.
... And just because my stuff wasn't there and I couldn't bother with reinstalling software and setting things up on a new platform... Every trial I had to mount NTFS on MacOS was painful and those third party drivers give you warnings of possible corruption risk. Nope, I just won't bother. Maybe someday I'll buy a real Mac just to give it another shot, while I still have my everyday trusty, painstakingly-crafted windows binary-perfect image until it gets rotten with glitchy registry trash and littered with unintentional uninstallable-bloatware.
@@Lucas_Simoni we don’t use linux just because of the terminal tho...
We use linux because the kernel is as stable as a rock! Also the filesystem, NTFS is a plain joke
I appreciate this, I use a mac laptop and a custom built PC, they both have their strengths and weaknesses and do what i need them to do.

When I used Windows I got so used to trouble shooting issues all the time I actually took pride in my "skills". Then I switched to Mac and realized I'd rather just spend more money for a computer that actually just works like it's supposed to.
I'm at this stage right now. I've been trying to buy a new windows laptop recently and i've been plauged with different problems on all of them, usually software related.

I can truly say that all of my Macs throughout the years have been reliable. Both of the iPhones that I've owned as well. My 1st gen 128GB iPhone SE had recently gotten to the point that it's battery wouldn't hold a charge, so I replaced the battery myself. Works like a champ again! Just like new.

I take issue with point 10. Apple has consistently taken it upon themselves to decide what the customer wants for them, even if what they do is actually detrimental to their users. Example: Apple deciding that 32-bit programs are too ancient and just cutting them off from Catalina, even though many people still use 32-bit programs on the daily.

Thumbs up for anyone who wished they where there to do it for him.
I have a 2017 15in MBP and I’ve unfortunately had some reliability issues with the moth board completely dying on me multiple times requiring it to basically be completely replaced. However since my last repair ~2 years ago it has been running very smooth and still performs almost like day 1 when I got it (considering apps now compared to 4 years ago want a lot more RAM, CPU and GPU power). I’m very happy and can’t wait to upgrade to the newly release 14in MBP with M1 Pro / M1 Max SOC.
Great video LTT! However, a couple key workflow items that I miss greatly on windows that weren't really mentioned:
- Spacebar previews for entire documents that don't require opening an application (so useful to make a quick review of document versions)
- Customizable hot corners (which I use constantly and makes switching between tasks much faster than windows)
- Ecosystem communication (as partially referred to in the video) which allows me to receive notifications and quickly/easily respond to texts on a computer. (I use this daily)
I have both a PC and a Mac and I am always happier working on the Mac (even though I accept that the highly regulated ecosystem limits max power of the computers for better and worse). If I could put Mac OS on a beefy PC build without the nightmare that a hackintosh still is, I would absolutely do that. I wouldn't even mind buying some Apple components to make that happen, but I want more control over the build than Apple currently allows. I'm still using a 2009 MBP and a 2013 Mac Mini Server which I have updated over the years specifically because I don't want to buy one of the new Macs that are so restrictive. That being said, the love-hate relationship I have with the Surface Pro isn't any better.
Can you text an iPhone from a PC? Or simply text an android from a PC oS? I have a vintage 2011 MacBook pro. I can and do text androids from it with ease. one click from my primary iPhone and my 2011 Mac recognizes that and Boom!

Watching this on an early 2009 macbook pro that I have taken to and from work literally every single workday, taken on business trips and even holidays. It's basically never left my side, and I pretty much haven't turned off in 12 years. I've replaced a battery and a CPU fan, and switched out the hdd for ssd (coz, why not), and it works pretty much as the day I bought it.
When I bought the macbook, it was replacing a 2yr old Lenovo that by the end was taking foreeeever to do anything, and crashed on the regular.
Maybe I just got lucky, but this laptop has been outstanding. Yes, it was twice the price as a comparable non-apple laptop, but worth every penny imho.
Yes, I also had a 2009 macbook that my dad got for me when I started college. It lasted me 9 years. I used it everyday and upgraded to ssd and changed out the battery. Unfortunately I spilled soda on it twice. The first time my e key wouldn't register. I still used it for a few more years, I would just ctrl + V an e lol. Then I spilled soda on it again.... Now I I have a macbook pro 2018 and no drinks will get close to my laptop again.
to be honest in the 2010's all my electronic non-apple devices lasted ages and were always running well even after many years, the new devices i buy in recent years after 1-2 year begin to always have problems like they arent made to last
@ Rukako Aye I have a Macbook Air from 2018. It’s still running just fine.
Imho doesnt worth it because keyboard is 50% of mac price.

I have an old 2014 iMac. I've never reinstalled the OS or performed any kind of maintenance on it at all, and it has seen heavy use. It's still fast to use. Has to have slowed down the amount of crap of put on it, but the difference hasn't been noticeable. I begin dual booting windows (using Bootcamp) a couple years ago to have access to more games and software. The Windows partition has had to be maintained via a few reintalls and whatnot in 2 years, and it has only had some GOG games and emulators installed on it. The machine itself is still mostly silent and boots fairly quickly. Enough said about reliability.
I know a guy who said it never reinstalled mac os in 10 years but it was a lie.
2 steps to a lie

I think once you integrate Mission Control into your workflow it’s really hard to go back to Windows. You can fly through different windows in virtual desktops so fast. Going back to a single desktop feels really restrictive.
Well, there are multiple windows available in Windows. They‘re just not half as good as in Mac.O.S. (and an average user won‘t even notice they exist).
@@leonjeger88 I’ve been a windows user since 2007, when windows 10 came out I noticed you could do multiple desktops, never found a use to it…

@Anthony Lopes Assuming you mean window snapping, you’re right. That’s because Microsoft has a patent for it. However on Mac it’s just as fast to have two full sized apps and four finger swipe between the two desktops. If you do want them half half on the screen like Windows, then the Magnet app makes that just as easy. I agree it would be nice if that were integrated but overall I still find window management way better on the Mac once you have three or more active apps open.
@@morzee94 Ohh I didn't know about the patent! There are free reliable apps for snapping in Mac too.

Why does it take 5 minutes for windows to search through all my files, but Mac OS is almost instant?
Probably because windows has to search through more files that are hidden in a macs search box since they are part of the operating system functioning files.
Hence leaving the mac only searching for useful to the user files while windows searches through the whole thing useful to the user or not making windows easier to manipulate.
I am not an expert on the topic, but I think it has something to do with the file system format (macOS uses Apple's proprietary APFS) and with OS cache systems that are optimized for the SSD drives that Apple uses.
Try the software "everything"
From what I know, its because Mac has a designated index database for all your stuff, and its in sync with your daily activity, and shares the same index with your icloud, I caught it working in the backgroud a couple times, maybe 10-15s in session that the you can monitor the process if you pay attention, so when you search stuff, its searching through a tree structured database with weights and models considered to rank relevance, whereas windows literally put all your file names in list and go through it one by one, and spotlight is not only faster, while buildiing the index system it also goes through the contents in your file, so if you have a set of keywords in a pdf file, searching for the keyword would still return the correct file, although its not the name and only appeared once in the file, try it yourself. the thing about mac apps is they are so complete, they're complete packages with designers thinking of every possibility and needs the user might need at some point. And exclusive hardware support makes it possible for them to fine tune it and be sure everything works butter smooth.
@Dacia Sandero guys why the insult ? Did you try this software ?
I’ve been using MacOS since a mac plus running system 5. I don’t use almost all of the reasons you listed here, but I can say in 35 years time I think I’ve had less then 10 system crashes that required a reboot. I sure do miss the very good build quality of the early machines, though as well as having a built-in physical interrupt switch that would launch you into macsbug debugger.
10 crashes in 35 .very very very hard to believe.
A few things I love about Mac. It is just so much straightforward and it feels cleaner.
"reliability"

Me too. Nothing like $3000 just perched precariously like that.
I recently dived head first into the Apple ecosystem, and have really been enjoying it so far. The simplicity and continuity, reliability of the products really help get things done more efficiently.
There were a few basic elements which I really miss and hope you consider adding in the near future to MacOS.
1. A Windows snapping tool (A simple tool to easily move and resize window). (Drag windows to the corners of the screen and it snaps into quarters. Use side edges to arrange horizontal and vertical halves.)
2. A clipboard manager. (Apple's clipboard provides only one buffer for the "copy and paste" function, and it is overwritten by each new "copy" operation. The main task of a clipboard manager is to store data copied to the clipboard in a way that permits extended use of the data).
3. The ability to double click on an apps icon, in order to close it.
4. The ability to create a custom app icon in the app drawer for Gmail and Google keep etc.
These are the 4 most used interactions on a daily basis that can save hundreds of hours over the course of time, and make the experience with macOS more convenient and seamless.
Thank you very much for the incredible work and looking forward to these 4 new features!

Unix thing - it's not just about stability. It's about POSIX compatibility (basically it's easy to port a program from Linux/BSD/etc to macOS and vice versa), which brings a lot of console tools used by developers.
Just use linux then. To be honest, mac os offers issues even though the tools are ported to it. I find myself in linux 98% of the time, on a windows PC only for gaming, and macos is now just something that no longer has a use case for me.

I started using Macs back in the early 90’s and have always had a Mac at home. My workplace on the other hand, has always been Windows. Windows has always been frustrating. Nothing works right. It’s slow and clunky. Sometimes I’ll move 5 or 6 files to another folder and get the “not responding” message for about 30 - 40 seconds. Sometimes I’ll copy text, go to another program and it pastes nothing until I do it about 3 times. I’ve never had these issues on my Mac!
Does it count as a reason if it is on its main competitor(Windows)? I have 7 virtual desktops on my pc and I can switch between them with just CTRL+Arrowkey. It’s like one of OSX main features is it runs on a computer, and not even all of them.
Really got Todd Haward flashbacks from "it just works"
Don't forget Jensen
With reguard to Apple the more accurate phrase is "It just works, seamlessly" which is usually shortened by most people. Apple themselves never really said it much without the "seamlessly" bit until Steve Jobs' final years when I'm 100% certain he did it just to troll and make fun of those who would truncate the end bit to either praise or degrade them depending on context lol.

why does the chair that linus is sitting on making him look like a doomsday villan
1. Doesn’t ask me to update every 2 weeks (in the middle of my work)
2. Doesn’t run the risk totally screwing the computer every time you let such an update run
I've used windows my whole life and never had such problems. You can turn off update notifications and I never saw an update that actually will influence my experience as a user on work with windows that would actually screw anything up

@@Alex-us2vw I can't remember when was the last time I got a virus on Windows 10.
ZeX. How are you checking? If you connect the machine to the internet it probably has viruses regardless what the antivirus software says. I guess maybe if you are behind a very restrictive firewall like found at business could have a better chance at being virus free on a PC but even they end up with viruses and on the news after losing customer data in breeches.
@@Alex-us2vw Where did you get such nonsense from?.. I have ESET as my primary antivirus and Windows Defender running as a secondary antivirus. Every single antivirus software has its own virus signature database which gets updated 2-10 times daily. If antivirus doesn't detect any malicious behavior or viruses itself, there are no viruses. You sound pretty paranoid about that topic.

Preview and PDF handling are worth gold when you're doing taxes, gathering receipts, downloading/printing-to-pdf, etc.
@@mamamia8891 Firstly, if you spec a good Dell XPS or other quality PC vendor with the same hardware as comes on a Mac, you find the prices within 5% of each other. Macs are only more expensive compared to lesser hardware. But to answer your question, here are two situations that you can try in Windows. 1. On a Mac, with Finder (Explorer) open, you can quickly use the cursor to move down a list of files. Hit Spacebar to almost instantly open a "quick look" view of the file - audio, video, pdf, word doc, excel, whatever. Hit up or down arrow to move to the next file, and it immediately changes your quick look to that file. So if you're trying to sift through a folder with a bunch of PDFs and quickly find the one you need, it is really really fast and convenient. There is no Windows alternative that responds quickly at all, not even close. 2. In the sad case where a vendor only shows a receipt in HTML (or if you need to save an email to PDF), you basically only have one option: Print to PDF. On a Mac, this is a two click operation, and it's very fast. On a PC, it is more steps, including having to stop and name the file. There may be software or plugins which can be added to improve that, but it definitely isn't built in. In my case, I spent more than a year on a better specced Dell XPS 15 (compared to my old Macbook Pro), but the day to day performance, and even the Adobe Illustrator and Premiere performance) was better on the Mac.
@@zed9zed I agree with you on most of it, but a Dell XPS is definitely not within 5% of the price of a Macbook. I had to order ten new laptops for my team Europe and was looking at both Macbooks and Dell XPS laptops. The XPS 15 with comparable specifications to the 15-inch Macbook Pro (512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, i7, etc) is about 60% of the price! Besides that, the Dell has a superior keyboard, better support (they'll come to your office the next day), a far superior GPU and a longer battery life. The Macbook does have a slightly better screen though. As the OS isn't a big factor for our work (mostly on-site data crunching), the choice was quite obvious.
Zed Nine More like 30-40% price difference
@@zed9zed Macs aren't expensive compared to Dell XPS, because the XPS is overpriced too. xD You can easily find a laptop with the same specs as an XPS or Mac for half the price. The only reason to either get an XPS or a Mac is because of their high intensity and color accurate displays. Which brings me to the following: You'd NEVER buy one of those if you AREN'T a professional. And if you use an XPS or Mac for work, there's a 90% chance your company paid for it and has ownership of it.
Macs and XPS are very poor choices for consumers and very good choices for professionals (especially considering the software on a Mac). The reason they are overpriced is because companies usually pay for them. And they DEFINITELY don't pay retail.
