Why a bad idea?
- suction 4y ago[dead]
- danielrpa 4y agoI've been using a Mac M1 for over a year at work because my company likes Mac. I particularly would love to have Windows as an option. I feel that everything is just a little harder and slower in MacOS vs Windows - one very obvious and memorable problem is the massive installation times for OS updates. Overall, as a result of a number of annoyances here and there, I'm less productive with a Mac despite its great hardware.

- EricE 4y agoWell Apple updates are far more infrequent than Microsoft with Windows so you are still probably way ahead :p When prompted I just pick "Later" and my Mac updates at night. Automatically. When I'm not using it so unless it was going to take longer than the time I'm going to be sleeping, update length is a non-issue.

- smoldesu 4y agoJust speaking for my own experiences, I have witnessed shops spend ridiculous amounts of time (100+ monthly man hours) porting to MacOS and never using it in production. For a lot of people (particularly those deploying to Linux), debugging for 2 distinct UNIX systems is a waste of time.
