Windows 11 made me reconsider GNOME 3 and even macOS.
Currently my main system is the Steam Deck, but I am seriously considering getting a Mac just to be able to use some proprietary software I need and I can't find on Linux.
MS is spending an increasing amount of money and time on Linux, they should just release a Linux distro and cut the Windows legacy crap, like Apple did with the migration from Classic Mac to OS X.
I gave up on Windows about 20 years ago, and went to the Mac. It is a great platform, and the company actually cares about the quality of releases (sure, there have been dud years, but they released a major release every year for well over a decade).
I LOVE Linux, but at least here in the states it’s hard to do Enterprise work without proper Office. I hate it. Why does a Word Processor need a monthly subscription and updates every other day again?
The Mac for me is hospitable balance of an operating system that is cared and nurtured, with an ecosystem of both open source and commercial software I need to work. Plus it helps that it doesn’t make me want to pull whatever I have left out.
Windows is fine for an appliance, as long as I don’t have to actually use Windows. I have a ROG Ally on preorder for that very reason.
yeah i have done exactly this.
