My qualms with Apple were more practical, e.g. their godforsaken keyboard layout. I ended up installing XP on that machine, which somehow angered both the MS and the Apple fans. For games, I just stopped playing and ask for refund on gog or steam anything that doesnt work on wine. Im not much of a hardcore gamer though. I tolerate some nuisances, e.g. Timberborn wont let you alt tab away ( I tolerated that from XP too I guess). Proctoring software is nasty, though. I have no windows machines left, so I dont know what I would do. Ask to take the test with them, I think? My sons school software somehow works better on Linux than on the school PCs with windows, but schools have notoriously old hardware so that might be the issue too. In the end, it's a free country. Anyone still happy on Apple or Windows, be my guest. But I knew a competent IT colleague that questioned my competence daily because I ran Debian at home (And Vista on the job like everyone over there). My response to him stays: Go away and leave me alone.
