1:00 “It is like Windows search but completely opposite, it(macOS) actually finds what you are looking for” 😂hahahahahah I just can’t stop laughing at this. I can relate as I had spent my whole life unable to find what I’m looking for with Windows search🤣
Very nice tutorial. I learned a few new things that I'll have to try. Instead of cmd + m to minimize, you can use cmd + h to hide an application. Then when you cmd + tab to the app, all your windows of that application show up. If you hold the option key when you hover over the red/yellow/green buttons, you get alternate display options. You can make your app window fill the screen without it creating a whole separate desktop. I always put my Applications, Documents, and Downloads folders on the dock. I find them useful there. In the dock you can right-click on them to choose how you want them to display (I choose display as folder), and you can choose how you want to view their contents (I find "grid" and "list" more useful than "fan").
That installation method is so... peculiar. They could've asked "Install? Yes/No" but no, they make you drag and drop an icon as if you were solving a puzzle or a captcha.
Its way simpler and more reliable, It also prevents apps from planting their files deep into your system and instead keeping them compact just inside the app itself. So when you want to delete something you dont have to install a third party uninstaller to make sure every single file is removed from your system
@@mertilizm can't agree with the last statement, the 'data' of the application will be still present on "./local/share/applicationname". You will have to manually remove it.
@mertilizm it does not work this way for Adobe apps. All of the cache isn't consolidated inside the .app, it's in some bullshit directory somewhere. So I may move the Adobe After Effects.app to the trash can to get rid of the 5gb install but it won't get rid of the 15gb worth of random playback cache that it generated
@@mertilizmeven then, when you go to the launchpad and long-press an icon so that the apps start wiggling, you only get the option to uninstall apps by pressing the "x" icon IF they were installed from the Mac app store, since that guarantees that every single piece of cache it generates is consolidated inside the app manifest . If it was downloaded from the internet it won't give you that option since macos can't guarantee it won't leave junk somewhere else on the system. I think this architecture would be super solid if there was a better way to link the app and its cache together

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I watched Anson Alexander’s Mac Tutorial for Beginners and then came across your video. I realize I will have to carry on with Windows Malware. Also known as Windows 10. MacOS is too weird. In over 30 years of using Windows, I think I have only used one Windows shortcut (Control, Alt, Delete). It appears shortcuts are a bit part of MacOS. That’s not for me. The section on installing apps and Rectangle is too weird for words. Rectangle 🤣. That was enough. And, to think, I was about to install Big Sur on VirtualBox on my desktop to try it out.
Have to say, this is one of the most hillarious but also explanatory tech videos i ve seen. I was already smiling a bit here and there but when i saw the “Stop reading my folder names!” I laughed out loud. Kudos man

Some addition to the video 1. Mos for fixing the natural scrolling (i can see that you already have it installed 2. Monitor control for handling brightness on external monitor 3. I don't like the screenshots on desktop. So i have modified the screenshots folder to a different folder.

You can open other applications in fullscreen mode with virtual desktop. gotta go into the other virtual desktop open the app and then drag it into the fullscreen mode and you'll get a split screen.
There is actually a trackpad gesture to easily access your desktop, you actually do the opposite movement you do when opening Launchpad and you select it through trackpad settings

There are literally ZERO built-in MacOS window management features that will give you the speed and productivity of Microsoft's windows management. This is something that is absolutely destroying me. Especially as someone who works a job using a Mac 8 hours a day, who then switches between a Mac Mini M1, Mac Book Air M2 and a Windows Gaming PC. Mac simply does everything worse when it comes to productivity/windows management.

hot corner is nice, but if you want something else there, you can always access your desktop by doping a "pinch" gesture with four fingers on your trackpad btw
MacOS is terrible for Windows management. It's basically a OS designed to work best on a laptop with trackpad. You get into trouble once you deviate from that into using a mouse with a large monitor and even worse is multiple monitors. Typically the response from the Apple cult is you are using it wrong and you need to go back to Windows or Linux. The response from the reasonable Apple users will tell admit your issues are very legit and offer some help as in using third party apps to fix these issues when available(such as Moom to fix Windows snapping/Forklife to fix the terrible Finder, Betterdisplay to try and fix MacOS terrible monitor support). Even with all of these apps you are still dealing with a OS that simply is not designed to work well outside of the laptop with trackpad. But remember Macbooks are where Apple makes by far most of their money for their computer sales. Mac Studio/Mac Mini/Mac Pro are a fraction of their laptop sales.
This. 100% It's puzzling that UA-cam is flooded with lengthy "Switched to Mac" videos, praising the build quality and integration etc.., yet curiously overlooking the fact that MacOS is essentially unusable as a desktop operating system.

There's 3 ways to install apps on mac. We also have install wizards on larger apps. Like fl and waves and other stuff has actual install process similar to Windows
"It's that easy to uninstall" Unless it isn't self-contained, like plugins or apps that separate into various parts of the computer. In that case, good luck manually tracking down the files 😢
The software either has an uninstaller, or you can use the ‘reduce clutter’ feature. It’s much better than Windows imo. If you don’t have an uninstaller in windows it’s a mess, you have to use Revo Uninstaller and that often doesn’t work
For home business use planning to get the Mac book Air M2 soon but also try and put Parrells with windows 11 Pro Arm, but for the office its 100% Windows.
Can't you already do so with 3 fingers up? And switch virtual desktops with 4 fingers left-right (3 finger will Alt-Tab between apps, which I think makes more sense)
your content has helped me so much with my migration on to the Mac OS. I have been a lifetime windows user and you have made my life easy. Awesome content love every second of it.
Haha my last windows laptop was so bad that I didn't get to enjoy most of the multitasking features or better features of windows than mac.. Even though my laptop was quite good with the configuration like 8th gen i5 with 8gb ram it started lagging so much within 1 year of usage.. So indirectly mac is the os will be my default os of computing lol... Yeah I bought the windows laptop new when it was launched..
on every mac and windows tips and tricks video i hear people say "Turn mouse acceleration off! It's better like that" Am i the only ones who loves it?... i turned it off to test wat it's all about and i literally hated it?? how is it more precise?
uninstalling apps isn't 'that easy' just like on windows you need a piece of third party software to cleanly uninstall software. On windows it is 'geek uninstaller' and on macos it is 'app cleaner'
I was a lifelong Windows user since 95, but I hated when they brought in Window snapping. Whenever I was trying to just move and position a window to a custom size that I needed, instead Windows would grab the Window and suck it up on the side. It was so frustrating. Was relieved when I moved to MacOS in 2020. But I did setup keyboard shortcuts (a built in feature on Mac) to snap Windows for the rare times I actually need that.
Will you make a guide for dealing with all the annoying macOS bugs? Like the menu bar refusing to slide out on hover or the cursor stopping to change over links in Safari, or Safari straight up pooping itself and randomly closing? Or the Recovery Mode reverting back to the original OS after a disk wipe _even when connected to the Internet_ ?
There are so many comments about how bad Windows is, that one might think that Mac OS is something from heaven. I like Mac OS. The system where the only way to show all the icons in the status bar on your mac with notch is to pay $16 for Bartender. I like Mac OS. The system that has the worst window management (Windows and Linux are lightyears ahead). I like Mac OS. The system where to make the mouse work normally you need to search for 3rd party solutions. I am using Windows and Mac OS. Mac OS is more consistent in terms of design and overall UI experience. But Windows is superior in terms of productivity. I am really waiting for Snapdragon X Elite. I hope that it will be the reason to switch back to PC.
MacOS Windows management is a complete joke Basically if you can't find a third party app to fix it you are screwed Also MacOS has terrible support for monitors as well
@@vlcheish The "thing" that's missing is snapping, but that's solved with Rectangle. Other than that, Mac is far ahead. Usually people just haven't bothered to get familiar with Mac's "way" of doing things. You can't make a real split screen in Windows, only resize two windows next to each other. With Mac, you can both move windows next to each other natively (option + green button or window-menu) or add "Split-Screen 2 apps" Shortcut from Shortcuts gallery or use Rectangle etc. or set them in split screen mode, so full-screening content respects it's side. You can't drag and drop stuff through task view. On Mac, swipe up with 3 fingers while dragging. You can even use mouse and trackpad at the same time. Or keyboard shortcuts, including spacebar as click. You can't click while dragging stuff to and from windows On Mac, you can press spacebar or force click the trackpad. To move a window to another virtual desktop, on windows, you open a taskview, right click on a window, choose move to another window, choose the desktop from a menu. On Mac, you drag the window to the side of the screen. Or to top and drop it to any desktop, or press ctrl+arrow to switch desktop while holding the window. You can't drag and drop stuff to another virtual desktop. With Mac, you can many different ways. Just swipe with 3 fingers, use keyboard shortcut, Mission Control, hold over Dock icon, use Hot Corners, drag to side of the screen... On Windows, you must move window from the top bar Mac lets you both resize and drag window from every side. Perpendicular moves, parallel resizes. On Windows, you can only minimize or maximize. Mac let's you minimize, maximize, fullscreen, hide. Window let's you drag the "splitter" in the middle to resize both windows at the same time. That's something Mac can't do ons desktop. It does do it in Split Screen mode. Other than the snapping layouts, Windows resizing is very limited. It let's you drag a side and maximize the window, but that's pretty much it. Mac lets you maximize by double clicking top bar, or option double clicking a corner, but you can also auto-resize to a screen border by double clicking any side or corner, option let's you also mirror movement. For example, you can resize to fill top and bottom of a window by option-doubleclicking top or bottom. Shift let's you keep the current shape of the window. Good for media-related windows. For developers, the windows are more limited on Windows. For example, on Arc browser, the browser cannot have the uniform thin look on Windows. On Mac, developers can make their own implementations if you want. Like Opera GX on Mac has the window buttons on side of the window to maximize vertical browsing space. In fact, even if you're not a developer, you can use Apple's Shortcuts app to create your own advanced Window management scripts without actually scripting, by using drag & drop blocks like "move window" and "resize window" in Shortcuts app. For example, I've made a shortcut that sets 4 last active windows next to each other.
@@eclipticpath Seems to me that you're coming from "laptop" point of view. MacOS is great when using as a pure laptop, its when you connect to a monitor and mouse, thats is when MacOS completely shits its bed. I have been using MacOs for about 3 years, and its still very hard to image that somebody would take MacOS over Windows for desktop setups given you have experience with both systems.
@@Sinier940n I have Mac Mini & Ultrawide monitor, trackpad on left hand, mouse on right. I don't have a Macbook, but I can imagine MacOS is very good for laptop users, so I'm sure you're right. But on desktop too, on Windows, it's not possible for me to put Resolve on left and make a video go full screen on right, cause windows doesn't have split screen mode. It's not possible to use trackpad and mouse at the same time. It's not possible to maximize vertical space on browsers because windows on Windows don't let me hide the top bar etc... The thing is, for most "issues" on Mac, I can find an answer like "install Rectangle", "disable this setting" etc, so I can do stuff "the Windows way" if I want to, but I can not do stuff "the Mac way" on Windows. On Windows, getting the file from File Explorer must be done with alt tabbing. And I can do that on Mac too. But if I happen to have my hand on trackpad, I can also swipe to Finder, choose the file and swipe back. You can't do that on Windows. Though, PowerToys etc. does bring some more functionality, so with some tweaking and extra apps, Windows can be very good too. Usually, people who think MacOS can't be used with desktops just haven't learned an efficient workflow and are using 3rd party mouse/keyboard but haven't set up any way to use any of Mac's navigation capabilites. They full-screen an app and think they're stuck cause they don't know they could slide between the apps or peek into desktop at any time. So for less tech-savvy people, I'd definitely recommend Windows. Although Mac is super versatile, its desktop and window management system is MUCH more complicated. I tried using Linux's AwesomeWM and I couldn't use it at all. It's even more complicated but that doesn't mean it's shitty. It just means I don't know how to use it efficiently.
Thank you so much for this video! It's really of great help! This is my first time ever using a Mac (having used Windows for 26 years..) so I'm quite lost -- your video helped so much!
Regrets, no, I like it, I like having the option to use both OS's. The things I miss from windows are: 1. obviously gaming, 2. the ability to turn off certain animations (like switching virtual desktops that take twice as long with ProMotion for no reason), 3. a "snappier" way to snap windows, 4. some features from the taskbar, like app previews once you hover over them.
If you need a solid laptop, just buy it, you will get used to the os. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago. Its not hard at all to adapt to system.@@sherifbatawy

I'll be honest. I like how windows does things. It's more straightforward and intuitive imo. But apple just has better build quality, hardware and performance. A new $1k windows laptop cannot hold a candle to the 5 year old m1 mac.
I think this is just touching on computing basics. Same for Linux can be demonstrated too. I would like to see a guide showing how to run and use applications available in Windows on Mac OS. Specifically would be like modern gaming titles. It would make for a better reason to crossover for me.

The software either has an uninstaller, or you can use the ‘reduce clutter’ feature.
It’s much better than Windows imo. If you don’t have an uninstaller in windows it’s a mess, you have to use Revo Uninstaller and that often doesn’t work
For home business use planning to get the Mac book Air M2 soon but also try and put Parrells with windows 11 Pro Arm, but for the office its 100% Windows.
What app do I download on Windows so when I swipe with four fingers up or down it shows all open apps or all windows per apps?
I would like that app too
Can't you already do so with 3 fingers up? And switch virtual desktops with 4 fingers left-right (3 finger will Alt-Tab between apps, which I think makes more sense)
@@lmnk On Windows?
@@jamesnyers1721 yes, on Win11 at least (not sure about Win10, but it's probably the same)
WHY?? Why is MacOS so stupid? Nobody can tell me that Windows, 11 for exaple, is hard to understand!! Windows 11 is soo easy.
"That's right ladies and mentalgen" this one cracked me up XD 2:00
2:02 "Ladies and mental gen" 😂😂😂
your content has helped me so much with my migration on to the Mac OS. I have been a lifetime windows user and you have made my life easy. Awesome content love every second of it.
Haha my last windows laptop was so bad that I didn't get to enjoy most of the multitasking features or better features of windows than mac.. Even though my laptop was quite good with the configuration like 8th gen i5 with 8gb ram it started lagging so much within 1 year of usage.. So indirectly mac is the os will be my default os of computing lol... Yeah I bought the windows laptop new when it was launched..
on every mac and windows tips and tricks video i hear people say "Turn mouse acceleration off! It's better like that" Am i the only ones who loves it?... i turned it off to test wat it's all about and i literally hated it?? how is it more precise?
Unpopular opinion: Windows is a better operating system than Mac OS ... ❤🎉😊
uninstalling apps isn't 'that easy' just like on windows you need a piece of third party software to cleanly uninstall software. On windows it is 'geek uninstaller' and on macos it is 'app cleaner'
gonna receive my mac in a month, goodbye gaming on my low-end windows pc… but at least some games will still work
the team fortress 2 sfx made me have whiplash
Its so much headache to learn a new operating system
this all seems too annoying, so many keyboard shortcuts and extra buttons to click
You can now snap windows to corners natively lmao
Video 1 of asking Bog to gift me his twirl desktop wallpaper 🥺
I was a lifelong Windows user since 95, but I hated when they brought in Window snapping. Whenever I was trying to just move and position a window to a custom size that I needed, instead Windows would grab the Window and suck it up on the side. It was so frustrating. Was relieved when I moved to MacOS in 2020. But I did setup keyboard shortcuts (a built in feature on Mac) to snap Windows for the rare times I actually need that.
My head hurt after 6 minutes. Sorry, I can't
Open a folder with 2 keys, it should be a sin 😮
Ive seen alot of shit on youtube but this was kinda usefull
3:40 android moment
TRUEEEEEEEeeee😭
What was bro trying to draw at 0:08 ? 💀
macOS totally better than Windows
Will you make a guide for dealing with all the annoying macOS bugs? Like the menu bar refusing to slide out on hover or the cursor stopping to change over links in Safari, or Safari straight up pooping itself and randomly closing? Or the Recovery Mode reverting back to the original OS after a disk wipe _even when connected to the Internet_ ?

There are so many comments about how bad Windows is, that one might think that Mac OS is something from heaven.
I like Mac OS. The system where the only way to show all the icons in the status bar on your mac with notch is to pay $16 for Bartender.
I like Mac OS. The system that has the worst window management (Windows and Linux are lightyears ahead).
I like Mac OS. The system where to make the mouse work normally you need to search for 3rd party solutions.
I am using Windows and Mac OS. Mac OS is more consistent in terms of design and overall UI experience. But Windows is superior in terms of productivity.
I am really waiting for Snapdragon X Elite. I hope that it will be the reason to switch back to PC.
MacOS Windows management is a complete joke
Basically if you can't find a third party app to fix it you are screwed
Also MacOS has terrible support for monitors as well
@@vlcheish The "thing" that's missing is snapping, but that's solved with Rectangle.
Other than that, Mac is far ahead. Usually people just haven't bothered to get familiar with Mac's "way" of doing things.
You can't make a real split screen in Windows, only resize two windows next to each other.
With Mac, you can both move windows next to each other natively (option + green button or window-menu) or add "Split-Screen 2 apps" Shortcut from Shortcuts gallery or use Rectangle etc. or set them in split screen mode, so full-screening content respects it's side.
You can't drag and drop stuff through task view.
On Mac, swipe up with 3 fingers while dragging. You can even use mouse and trackpad at the same time. Or keyboard shortcuts, including spacebar as click.
You can't click while dragging stuff to and from windows
On Mac, you can press spacebar or force click the trackpad.
To move a window to another virtual desktop, on windows, you open a taskview, right click on a window, choose move to another window, choose the desktop from a menu.
On Mac, you drag the window to the side of the screen. Or to top and drop it to any desktop, or press ctrl+arrow to switch desktop while holding the window.
You can't drag and drop stuff to another virtual desktop.
With Mac, you can many different ways. Just swipe with 3 fingers, use keyboard shortcut, Mission Control, hold over Dock icon, use Hot Corners, drag to side of the screen...
On Windows, you must move window from the top bar
Mac lets you both resize and drag window from every side. Perpendicular moves, parallel resizes.
On Windows, you can only minimize or maximize.
Mac let's you minimize, maximize, fullscreen, hide.
Window let's you drag the "splitter" in the middle to resize both windows at the same time.
That's something Mac can't do ons desktop. It does do it in Split Screen mode.
Other than the snapping layouts, Windows resizing is very limited. It let's you drag a side and maximize the window, but that's pretty much it.
Mac lets you maximize by double clicking top bar, or option double clicking a corner, but you can also auto-resize to a screen border by double clicking any side or corner, option let's you also mirror movement. For example, you can resize to fill top and bottom of a window by option-doubleclicking top or bottom. Shift let's you keep the current shape of the window. Good for media-related windows.
For developers, the windows are more limited on Windows. For example, on Arc browser, the browser cannot have the uniform thin look on Windows.
On Mac, developers can make their own implementations if you want. Like Opera GX on Mac has the window buttons on side of the window to maximize vertical browsing space.
In fact, even if you're not a developer, you can use Apple's Shortcuts app to create your own advanced Window management scripts without actually scripting, by using drag & drop blocks like "move window" and "resize window" in Shortcuts app. For example, I've made a shortcut that sets 4 last active windows next to each other.
@@eclipticpath Watch the video "I Forced Myself to Use macOS For 30 Days (macOS Challenge)" details the issues with MacOS
@@eclipticpath Seems to me that you're coming from "laptop" point of view. MacOS is great when using as a pure laptop, its when you connect to a monitor and mouse, thats is when MacOS completely shits its bed.
I have been using MacOs for about 3 years, and its still very hard to image that somebody would take MacOS over Windows for desktop setups given you have experience with both systems.
@@Sinier940n I have Mac Mini & Ultrawide monitor, trackpad on left hand, mouse on right. I don't have a Macbook, but I can imagine MacOS is very good for laptop users, so I'm sure you're right. But on desktop too, on Windows, it's not possible for me to put Resolve on left and make a video go full screen on right, cause windows doesn't have split screen mode. It's not possible to use trackpad and mouse at the same time. It's not possible to maximize vertical space on browsers because windows on Windows don't let me hide the top bar etc...
The thing is, for most "issues" on Mac, I can find an answer like "install Rectangle", "disable this setting" etc, so I can do stuff "the Windows way" if I want to, but I can not do stuff "the Mac way" on Windows. On Windows, getting the file from File Explorer must be done with alt tabbing. And I can do that on Mac too. But if I happen to have my hand on trackpad, I can also swipe to Finder, choose the file and swipe back. You can't do that on Windows. Though, PowerToys etc. does bring some more functionality, so with some tweaking and extra apps, Windows can be very good too.
Usually, people who think MacOS can't be used with desktops just haven't learned an efficient workflow and are using 3rd party mouse/keyboard but haven't set up any way to use any of Mac's navigation capabilites. They full-screen an app and think they're stuck cause they don't know they could slide between the apps or peek into desktop at any time. So for less tech-savvy people, I'd definitely recommend Windows. Although Mac is super versatile, its desktop and window management system is MUCH more complicated. I tried using Linux's AwesomeWM and I couldn't use it at all. It's even more complicated but that doesn't mean it's shitty. It just means I don't know how to use it efficiently.
i'm a linux user and i already know how to use mac os
i just love when ihe says "ladies and mentlegen"
Thank you so much for this video! It's really of great help! This is my first time ever using a Mac (having used Windows for 26 years..) so I'm quite lost -- your video helped so much!
Cheers!
But I use Linux
i installed macos ventura in my hp laptop ok
after switching to Mac OS, do you have any regrets, miss some windows features and wish that Mac adds them?
Regrets, no, I like it, I like having the option to use both OS's. The things I miss from windows are: 1. obviously gaming, 2. the ability to turn off certain animations (like switching virtual desktops that take twice as long with ProMotion for no reason), 3. a "snappier" way to snap windows, 4. some features from the taskbar, like app previews once you hover over them.
@@bogxd I’ve been unsure about taking the decision of purchasing a MBP for 3 years now 😅
If you need a solid laptop, just buy it, you will get used to the os. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago. Its not hard at all to adapt to system.@@sherifbatawy
What do you mostly need a computer for? And how old is your current one?
@@bogxd Video editing, I’m currently using a lame 2013 hp 2000 with a 3rd gen Cor i3 chip and a built-in intel “graphics card”. It’s lame, that it can’t even play back 4K vids, that I’ve been using Lumafusion on iPhone. That said, I like how Windows 11 Pro is put together and easy to use.
Like if you CMD W closed this video
me whos used both of 6 years
I'll be honest. I like how windows does things. It's more straightforward and intuitive imo. But apple just has better build quality, hardware and performance. A new $1k windows laptop cannot hold a candle to the 5 year old m1 mac.
wtf I had a Asus Tuf FX505GD for $1k and you know what its 6 years old
I think this is just touching on computing basics. Same for Linux can be demonstrated too. I would like to see a guide showing how to run and use applications available in Windows on Mac OS. Specifically would be like modern gaming titles. It would make for a better reason to crossover for me.
2:00 that's right ladies and mentlegen! 😂
apple announced window snapping 3 minutes ago
dude you should charge your laptop xD
"with any app command comma works. if I do it in photoshop.... nothing happens, cuz it's photoshop"
Not the blue arrow 😂😂😂
8:12 any one notice the folder names 😂
Ladies and 'Mental-Gin'😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
no one's talking abt ladies and mentalgen
me as a Linux user. Hmm interesting!!
i think i might be to braindead for this
Make a video on how to customize the macOS
Windows is quite beautiful than Macos.
well this was useful and funny
Fabulous video. Thank you. Keep them coming. We are all learning with you.
after 4 years switching to mac. i'm now back to windows.
Tried it on a VM
Thanks, no
thanks Bro!
Thanks a lot for this video can you please 🙏🏻 make a video about “How can you screen record in macbook with internal audio” just like on any other iphone , mac only shows to use mic as the sound source 😢
Yeah I kinda never used macOS before but i kinda used it on a vm
I have no idea why did I watch this video, I only have an iphone which I hate but this video was 10/10, especially the folder joke. Maybe I learned one thing, that I never ever want to use MacOS it's just, feels too weird.
4 minutes in the video to learn more about mac because I am going to switch from windows to mac for editing......and I am laughing my ass of xD
Why would you use Chrome switch to Firefox instead, so much better. Thank you for the tips though ☺️
