    Windows isn’t afraid of tech, but MacOS is? Give me a break, the Unix style terminal is the reason for using MacOS professionally.

      Honestly, most windows users I know at least know where their files are stored and stuff like that. Average Mac users don’t know if something is synced with the cloud or not and can’t unpack a rar archive without calling support because they are deliberately kept dumb by that restrictive, overly oppinionated, lock-in OS and unrepairable, un-upgradable hardware ecosystem. I’m using linux as daily driver on laptop and desktop for almost a decade now and I hate windows with a passion, but mac manages to be even worse. Although windows is also getting worse with every version since win7, so they might be on par soon…

        The defaults on Finder are terrible; you’ve just got to have it not default to the “All My Files” view.

        As for your RAR archive scenario I’m wondering if you’re talking about System 9 or something? Lol

      Depends on the person. Most of the people I know who use MacOS, use it as a glorified Facebook machine. Outside of perhaps Word, they only use the web browser.

        That’s what I always read but literally the only people I see using them are developers like me.

        At work many use Windows but they’re Java developers; they can have that mess.
