Macs seem to discourage shutting down, compared to windows. I’ve always been a windows user and I literally couldn’t figure out HOW to shut down the Mac without asking someone. No power button, nothing came up in the search tool thingie for ‘shut down’, I didn’t realise the Apple logo was clickable... maybe I’m just a bit thick :) Anyway, my point is, the UI discourages you from regularly giving the computer a good time to install updates.
- prepend 6y agoYou not knowing that the Mac equivalent of the start button has a shutdown option is the “UI discouraging?” How does the Windows UI encourage shutdowns? I only shut down my windows and mac machines. Windows is at least weekly, mac is about 2-3 times per month.
- silveroriole 6y agoBecause the windows shutdown option is in the start menu, which you see constantly. The Mac shut down option is in a menu which I almost never click. To me, that indicates the designers have different ideas about how often users want to shutdown/restart. Apparently lots of people disagree though since I got downvoted a lot (which I don’t think is what downvote is for, but whatever...)
