Use Microsoft Windows brehs

[ExodusNirvana]

My Hackintosh (Windows 11, OSX, Ubuntu) desktop and my ROG Laptop work great

My condolences if you're out here struggling

aren't the snapdragon processors used in that laptop basically like phone processors? This is like telling somebody to compare muscle cars to a Charger, but instead of picking the regular Chargers you wait and use the Charger EV as your comparison. And then you're like "I thought yall said Chargers were blah blah blah "




Apple products are fine, but you always get these wildly false Windows experiences during these discussions where people act like their PC's straight up crash while doing basic shyt like using Chrome.

Yeah, if you somehow still don't know how to use the machines we've been using on a daily basis for like 3 decades. What you just described is eliminated with 2 minutes worth of setting changes and uninstalls...you know, "customization"? Oh wait, you're an Apple user, obviously. You don't know much about customization and freedom to do what you please on the device you paid for...

And please tell me; who benefits from an M4 outside of graphic designers, engineers, or others that require a high powered device? 99% of people are getting on social media and doing word processing. Buying an M4 when you can spend $200 on an old ass Pentinum processor to get on Facebook or type a paper is retarded. Plus damn near everything is cloud-based now anyway so even graphic designers can get away with a potato...

Battery life
Hardware quality
Reliability
Etc.

The m4 MacBook Air cooks every windows laptop out there when it comes to portability, battery life, and usability for those just doing browsing and writing documents/spreadsheets.

Gen it comes to laptop max hardware is the biggest winner… the software is not even the leading factor.

What you’re saying could be the case with desktops tho.

What makes windows bad in your guys' opinion?

I can think

* forced updates that can slow your computer down before

* bloated RAM

What else?

Ios does the same thing. Get slow ever 2 to 3 years

Then that is your experience

I’m not even going to shyt on Windows 11 yet because I don’t even know if I’ve seen it or yet alone even tried it. (I no longer pay attention to what OS we use now because we are mostly virtual).

And you are specifically talking about Windows 11 it seems… I’m talking about since DOS until now. I have not cared for a single Windows OS after 98.

And I will say this… I used to fix pc’s and laptops in my free time in the barracks for people. I never once saw a Mac or Linux anything.

And yes, random reboots are a thing and still are. I still get them now at work I just can cancel them or run a powershell command to cut it off.

If you are at work getting them and working in an enterprise environment, your company is going to push mandatory updates. That's how it works. And they won't be random, they are scheduled, but they may seem random to you. And you are usually able to skip them for a time until you are essentially forced to do a reboot and update. That's to protect the enterprise environment.

But at home? Random updates? Microsoft has an update schedule for Windows. And I'm sure there are still hotfixes and what not but the idea that Windows has the deluge of updates that are constantly in the way is nonsense. If you don't like Windows....fine. It's just an OS. It's not that big of a deal. But don't make it out to be something it isn't.

It’s 2025. $1000 MacBook airs are wiping the floor with $2400 windows PCs in almost any task.

I am aware of how enterprise updates work.

And Windows updates are monthly… Patch Tuesday to be exact. Ours are tested and patched on a schedule. People at home, not so much..

So imagine how the feel if a patch fails or creates other issues

And like I said, I have not used Windows 11 so idk whats its like anymore. I also have not used Windows outside of an office environment in decades, outside of having back up virtual machines, so I’m just going by what I remember.

Other people might be exaggerating but my issues with Windows weren’t update reboots

I think Mac and iPhone users are mentally ill, but what do I know?

I'll be damned if ima pay you for locked down technology.

I don't know what happened to Windows. It turned into a crappy spyware platform somehow. I used to laugh at Macs, but damn the falloff is hard.

Microsoft is not a unified company with one goal and one vision. It’s a collection of teams all competing with each other. I work in enterprise IT and it can be frustrating. There’s job stability in it.

Yall forgot about Windows 7 huh? Fast, rock solid, easily configured, clear UI and menus. No bloat, spyware, ads, or telemetry. Gotta be the goat os

 

[Formerly known as...]

Mac great for personal use but when you get into the field of connectivity and networking Windows still solid.

Windows > for desktop
Mac > or laptop

/thread

I find if you're looking for a laptop at home to use etc then get a Mac but when working in a large organisation typically Windows is the better option for all.
