I wish I could buy a new Mac and run Windows on it. But I really dislike macOS. I've tried to like it, but it just feels like a crippled OS compared to Windows.

I wish I could buy a new Mac and run Windows on it. But I really dislike macOS. I've tried to like it, but it just feels like a crippled OS compared to Windows. I hate the lack of support for true fractional scaling, the comically bad window management (Windows 7 was miles ahead of where macOS is today), the shitty text rendering, the lack of configurability, the half-assed attempt to bring the iOS security model (which is not itself bad) to macOS, etc. etc. etc. The dock used to be better than the taskbar, but the Windows taskbar has been strictly better since Windows 7 too.
- darkteflon 4y agoDepends what you mean by “run Windows”. I run Win 11 on my M1 Pro MBP with great results. Even played a little Dark Souls last night.
- muzani 4y agoI would like to have a MBP that just used Windows as an operating system, not in a VM.
- darkteflon 4y agoFair enough. This ain’t it then.
- muzani 4y agoAgree 100%, this was what kept me away from a Mac, and why I was happy to let go the old MBP. I've been at it for months now but still hate the scaling and window management. I believe there's some third party tools that handle this and it's time to look into them. The build times for a M1 are so fast that it's still a requirement for me though. The battery life for a MBP is amazing - it's almost a whole work day even on full compiling. So it's not really a choice.
