So you're telling me that macOS is more performant than Windows 10? Have you used both? Do you not feel the delay in every mouse click you do in macOS that is so maddening after coming from Windows? Both the UI lag and general performance in macOS is just a sad story. My windows machine runs 24/7 for months without needing a restart. I am forced to restart macOS weekly, usually because of system issues.

I don't share your experiences. I'm a developer on Windows and OSX, so I have MacBook Pro and a ThinkPad. I want to run the ThinkPad over with a car and then drop it in the sea.

MacOS is far better. This mouse click delay you're talking about, is in your head.

  To be fair, it can happen when the kernel is very busy, for example while paging. Even with a SSD and 16 GB RAM, it happens regularly for me due to bloated webpages, or apps like VS Code.

I used macos, I was forced to restart and update. I used windows, I was forced to restart and update. I use kubuntu now, and I haven't turned my computer off(unless you count sleep state) in a few weeks, sometimes i've gone months. Both operating systems feel slow to me now that I've used linux. I was apprehensive to use it at first, and feel kinda guilty evangelizing it, but if you have these problems, I think this is your solution.

  I’ve been on macOS for 16 years. Never has it forced me to restart or update (not counting panics or other bugs).

    Exactly. Having it ask you if you want to update is not the same as in Windows where you get forced.

I have zero problems with my Mac and I use it all day long for work. I can put off updates for as long as i like. It doesn't get in the way or spy on me like Windows 10, or attempt to throw up shitty ads. It's also snappy. If yours isn't then there's something wrong with your Mac; some software that you installed or your hardware is buggy.
